Jinshanling is never rebuilt, and it is quieter than the Badaling Great Wall. I like this part very much and it is my most favorate part in the Great Wall. We traveled the Jinshanlin and Simatai Great Wall for a whole day. When we have our lunch box, we talked and enjoyed the mild sunshine and breeze. It is beatiful and gentle, like a lady expressed herself in the most reserved way. I hope I have time to be here in winter, which would be another unforgetable trip in my life.

I purchased 4 Duracell batteries for my camera at a small shop on the street, as I noticed that my rechargeables were running out. But later found these batteries don't work at all though expiry date is 2011! They may be fake. A word of caution to fellow travellers please buy everything from a better shop located at either New Road or at Thamel Supermarket. I paid double price of Rs250/- for four and got cheated. This shop is located near Boudhnath temple. I just don't remember the name.
