+NYPaddleCacher Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ever take a long hike to a picturesque spot to find a cache only to DNF the cache (but take back photos)? We'll here's a thread for that. I took this picture last week from the cache location on a section of the Great Wall of China called Huanghuacheng. Unlike the Badaling section, the closest to Beijing where thousands of visitors go to see the wall each day, this section does not have public access. One has the check in at the house of a family that owns the land and make a small donation. Quote Link to comment

I would not think so. It's more like an admission fee, unless of course the CO is the one collecting the donations! Quote Link to comment

In any case, it would be possible to get to GZ for that cache coming from the other direction. In fact, we talked to a couple of people (of the four that we saw) that had come from the other direction and had climbed up to the area near GZ (it was at the high point on the wall in that section).
