First I felt amazed by the immensity of the construction, following the
curves of the mountains as its shade indefinitely. Second, I felt very
humble in front the work done by hand by these millions of people; it
is hard enough to do 4km, I can not even begin to imagine how they
managed to build such a masterpiece hundreds of years ago. The stairs
that we took were unbelievable, with steps of approx 40cm and 70%
steep. Up and down, up and down, during 4km, you enter a cycle; reach
a tower, climb down, walk, climb up these crazy stairs, loose your
breath, and reach the next tower. At the end your muscles in your legs
are so contracted that you can barely move them. They say the Great
Wall is the only human construction visible from space; well now I see
why. JC
