Traveling in China | Visiting the monumental Great Wall of China for the very first time!

[@RafaGoesAround]

We visited the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall this time. For My next visit I would like to go to another one, any recommendations?

[@HKChineseCanadian]

I have been to Mutianyu and Badaling. I thought that Mutianyu was more scenic but Badaling was more difficult to climb because it was more verticle and had bigger crowds.

[@jovanapetkovska2782]

Gubei Water town and from there you walk to Simatai. I was told this is the best section of the wall and it was really great. I did go with a tour as well.😘

[@dreamdream773]

Your son is so sweet when he says: “ you are cold.”

[@margarethawinarto3931]

Having been to the Great Wall of China myself, I know it isn't an easy climb. The little boy deserves a big round of applause for showing us his happy face all the time regardless of the challenge.

[@jessicaw8682]

Nice one! There is an old Chinese saying, he who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. You are now a real man! :) Happy Chinese New Year!

[@noneoyb5793]

Your son is full of energy. The way he runs ahead is so cute. 😄

[@BygoneChina]

I love the Great Wall, there are many different sections and each is unique has its own Character! I recommend staying overnight at 岔道村 (Chadaocun), an old village at the foot of the wall. You can then wake up early in the morning to climb the wall before tourists arrive!

Thanks a lot for using my music! Really appreciate

[@rocketman1553]

Really enjoyed watching your beautiful Great Wall of China video! 👏👏👍👍Happy new year to you and your family !

[@Thinkofwhat]

Hey folks can we please give Rafa thumbs up. The more thumbs up he gets the more KZbin will recommend his vlogs to new viewers!!

[@sigyul2283]

Your boy definitely understood you in español, he was just being playful. I really like the choice of your bgm, feeling emotional like you are finally boarding a time machine living in historic timelines.

[@Sophia-ox7tx]

I like the little boy, so cute.

[@tufftuff3061]

This brings back my memory of my visit to the same part of the wall 17 years ago right after the first snowfall, it was really pretty. Thanks.

[@heqiuyisheng911]

I think it's more the dry weather in Beijing causing your throat ache. In South its humid, but North where Beijing is situated is too dry. I grow up in Beijing, when I traveled to South like Guangzhou, I always got allergy there due different climate.

[@s._3560]

It is really good that you are teaching your son other languages. Don't give up. Try getting your son a Spanish picture book with all the nouns first and common verbs and read it with him every other day. Try speaking slower and using simple sentences.

[@gillyguyshangguan4849]

Thanks for taking us the wall. Happy Chinese new year,

[@peterykw6562]

I was there in Nov 2016. I was lucky. There were blue skies and very clear but extremely cold. I entered through the Juyongguan section of the Great Wall. There were no shops for tourist. Main Entrance was through one of the giant forts. I remember that section of wall was really steep. Not children friendly. Handrails were installed for tourist to hold on to during the hike. There were also very few enclosed brick corridors then shown in your video. I enjoyed my trip a lot and your video brought back great memories! HNY!!!

[@jetaime.2976]

lovely son😊

[@alleygator8538]

I loved my trip to the Great Wall two years ago. I want to visit here again. 😁

[@paraglucknow6635]

You are amazing mr . handsome......😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@j.q.4324]

The old lady said she carried the bottled water all the way up the hill to sell. It's hard work. I think 2 dollars per bottle is fair. I don't think she can sell lot because most people will have water in their backpack. That's why it's so expensive.

[@scbluechuan3748]

There's a saying: You'll be true hero until you've visited The Great Wall. Accompanied my parents and parents-in-law to Beijing in June 2018 when we got back to China, we visited Mu Tian Yu too, luckily Beijing was with blue sky those days. I miss them so much since my son and I are stuck abroad.

[@RafaGoesAround]

👍🏽

[@kevinefms]

Without foreign tourists, this is the best time to visit the Great Wall.

[@ada_gie9552]

Wow, it's really really wonderful place! ❤️

[@michaellim135]

Happy CNY 2021

Great father and e handsome boy 👍

[@karenshen7811]

Always amazing

[@RickyB349]

Wao Rafa, que envidia.. Fuistes a la misma sección a la cual estuve hace 3 años atrás... 👍

[@MariaAlvarez-sm8bv]

Feliz Año Nuevo Rafa y familia!!! Te pido por favor (por mi propia experiencia personal) que le hables a Jay solamente en castellano, pero tienes que ser "inflexible" en eso, mi madre me hablaba exclusivamente en portugués y no me contestaba si yo no me dirigia a ella en su idioma. Con papá que era argentino se hablaba castellano y asi, todos contentos y hoy mi hermana y yo somos totalmente bilingües. Aprendimos por fuera, inglés y francés con toda facilidad. Los idiomas fueron el mejor legado que nos dejaron nuestros padres, tanto es así que vivimos gracias a ellos, ya que ambas somos traductoras e interpretes, mi hermana en Brasil y yo en Argentina. La primera vez que fui a China en 2011, fue muy emocionante ver la Gran Muralla desde lejos, cuando nos ibamos acercando desde Pekín. Una sensación muy especial como cuando, habiendo vivido siempre en el Atlántico o muy cerca del Atlántico, vi por primera vez el Pacífico en Chile, o cuando pisé por primera vez suelo Europeo en Lisboa, o cuando vi las Pirámides de Egipto, tan inconmensurables y majestuosas. La Muralla es uno de los grandes hitos que podemos llegar a ver. Estuve dos veces, me gustó mucho la primera vez que fue en Jinshanling. En cuanto a la botellita de agua a 15 renminbis, es ja, ja, un asalto a mano armada pero no falla nunca en esos lugares super turísticos. Muy Feliz Año Nuevo del Buey nuevamente!

Jay 好可爱😊

[@jackzhang7639]

Hola Rafa! Feliz ano Nuevo 🍾🎉

Hola Rafa q lindo y amoroso es tu hijito

[@jimotingxuan]

I think I went to the same section of the wall as you did. Nice view!

[@kirbyhuang5609]

加油💪加油💪

[@DanielLee-sf9ds]

Have been there before. Way fewer people than the Badaling site.

[@sayaandyangsaya2756]

The great wall, history place of China.

[@mytechexpress4798]

Beautiful ❤️

[@johnsoncao3114]

Oh my Beijing.

[@CyZhang2022]

看起来人不是很多，也不热，是游长城的好时候！

[@闫青-i1c]

带着自己的朋友爬野长城最爽，箭扣长城是最险的最有感觉的

[@jackwu8664]

箭扣长城 位于京郊怀柔区西北的八道河乡境内，在怀柔县渤海镇（北侧属八道河，南侧属渤海），距怀柔县城约30公里。 因整段长城蜿蜒呈英文字母“W”状，形如满弓扣箭而得名。 箭扣长城是北京一段最险峻、雄奇的长城，自然风化严重，绵延20多公里，充分展现了长城的惊、险、奇、特、绝，能领略到原汁原味的古老的长城景观。 箭扣长城是明代万里长城最著名的险段之一，是近年来各种长城画册中上镜率最高的一段，向来是长城摄影的热点。 箭扣长城分南线、北线。 南线山势极其陡峭，几乎是直上直下。攀登用时单程2-3小时。 北线山势平缓，走后山北路的好处是不必艰难跋涉便可登上巍巍敌楼，青山翠谷尽收眼底，一样体会雄伟壮观的感觉。攀登用时单程30分钟。 登上箭扣，还可以观赏龙潭和古长城砖窑遗址。 山脚下平地泉水奔涌泉水汇集成潭，潭中鱼就是著名的虹鳟鱼。 潭下建有北方最大的虹鳟鱼养殖场。

I am Chinese and have been to Beijing 6 times. I am 41 years old and have not been to the Great Wall yet.

那你太 這個 有點 誒

[@outsidewell6932]

还非好汉哦😯 你可以去参加旅游网的一日游。

[@weizhang2834]

很自豪吗？还用英语告诉全世界？40多了这情商还没长进

[@tankiman2368]

I already seen many your video , most of all i liked 👍 , what you favorite city in china ?

[@RafaGoesAround]

Shenzhen is by far my favorite city in China

[@karenshen7811]

Take 3 years to walk one end to another of the Great Wall of China

[@rahulraj2487]

Nyc place 🤘

[@kevinchen7903]

Pls let us know which month is it Seems like the best time to go

[@ruiguo1460]

Spring and Autumn, and early summer when the trees are green, neither cold nor scoring. Scenery will be fascinating then

Why can China take pictures

[@LindemanRichard]

卧槽，太黑了，农夫山泉要十五？景区贵点可以理解，但是直接翻几倍？

[@binhe6500]

I want to know how much you would like to charge if you've carried the bag of water uphill from your village all the way to this section of the wall?

[@LindemanRichard]

@@binhe6500 5元可以接受

[@sephia3325]

@@LindemanRichard其实就是买卖自由，能接受的人就买，不接受的人就从山下自己背几瓶水上来。

[@j.q.4324]

对啊，赚点辛苦钱而已，好像Rafa没听见人家说是辛苦背上山的。老奶奶卖不完晚上还得背下去。天气那么冷，谁都不容易。

[@j.q.4324]

叉烧饭，你下次去 长城记得自己带水哦!

[@lixiang7777]

The old lady who sold water to you is totally rip off !!
