Well here are, (some of) you asked for it... It's finally a MUCH longer video! I finally found an idea that justified a longer runtime, so I hope you enjoy this little documentary about The Great Wall. Should I make more longer videos? Or do you prefer the punchier short ones? :)

I agree

Amazing that you could find this place by yourself the first time you visit, but just a reminder to everyone who wants to make the wild great wall trip, do not attempt it during a possible rain, especially in summer. A lot of rain in summer in Beijing are thunder storm, and the great wall are usually the highest part on a mountain and you standing on it makes you the attraction point for lightning. We have lightling strike accident to hikers almost every year like this

Muitanyu leads to a unrestored part of the wall all you need to do is climb over a wall and it is a completely different experience. Was one of the best days of my life and will never forget.

This deserves more views. Forever going to be my dream to set foot on any section of the Great Wall.

You guys are insanely brave! This is the best video I´ve seen about the Great Wall, congratulations on such work.

Thank you Ryan for making such a beautiful and insightful travel vlog of the Great Wall of China. You made me wanted to revisit this place all over again. Keep up your good work 💚💛🧡 best travel vlog I seen 👍🏻

Wow 🤩. This is awesome . The Great Wall day was a long one . We had 4 transfers on the subway to get to badaling . It was not crowded this time round . We also paid ¥40 for entrance. I must sat the Great Wall of China is not a place you can visit once or twice .

Just stunning. I watched your video as research material and you've beautifully captured exactly what I was looking for. I appreciated your voiceover describing what you're seeing and what you're thinking and the filmography is stunning. Loved that misty look too. Cheers

you've answered many questions, thank you for the grat video

My family went to the Great Wall a few years ago and they didn't seem to keen on the experience although they said the tobogganing was fun. The abandoned bit sounds like my cup of tea though. Dude, I know I say it every time but your videos are amazing. I love your little preview insert at the beginning here. It's like I'm watching BBC or something and you don't naturally pay much attention to the music but the way you match the music to the clips and atmosphere is awesome. Oh and I've only just realised but I think we may use the same glitch overlay for our intro text 😝 but yours is more sped up. Your excitement at seeing the wall is so evident which is really nice to watch! Haha my family had the same experience with the Chinese always wanting pictures taken with them! I love ruins too. It feels almost weird that parts are being restored as they're just not the same as the original... though I can see the mindset behind the idea. Omg that run for the train looks horrible but at least there was an adorable Chowchow doggo at the other end. OK I'm just gonna post my comment now as it's getting way too long.

Ella in Wanderlust haha thanks Ella! Really glad you liked this one. It was a. bit of an experiment for me, because I never really make longer videos. We probably do use the same glitch effects, do you use the overlays in Final Cut?

All I can say is WOW. That abandoned section of the wall is like a whole other planet. Amazing to think that there was not a soul around - what a precious experience!! Parts of it looked dangerous but what a small price to pay for experiencing something most other tourists probably haven't even heard of!! The busy area in comparison looks awful, lol. DEFINITELY bookmarking this so I can come back to it and visit the abandoned area when I get to China.

The magnificent panoramic view below the highest watch tower you reached is as professional as cinematic photography. Thank you so much for your great presentation. It's beyond belief that so much heavy construction materials could be transported manually up to such heights about 500 years ago ( when the Ming Dynasty sections were constructed near Beijing ), & further back to more than 2000 years ago along various other sections.
