 :lol: Just thinking out loud here....the nearest part of the Great Wall to Beijing is in Badaling, according to this blurb on the web:

The Badaling section of the Great Wall is 42 miles / 70 kilometres northwest of Beijing. Once you get outside the city and onto the expressway, the trip to Badaling is quick.

But that still leaves a lot left to do in the first leg....hmmmm.... my brain hurts.... :knock:

Have been doing a bit of research on the round watchtowers along the Great Wall, it seems like the Jinshanling section (Gubeikou to Simatai) has more of those that are irregularly-shaped (not square). Parts of it are crumbling to pieces though, so I'm not sure if it matches the vidcaps (the mountains and greenery seem close enough to me). But guess what? That section has the favourite Episode One staple of a zipline...

There was another team that started the commercial off.  I think it may have been Tom & Terry not sure though.  I had just got my children off to school.  It showed their children with them-Lyn & Karlyn's.   Also, my sister,Mary, said that she had seen James & Tyler's commercial and when one of the guys mentioned "the pretty girls" it cut to Jamie & Kelly and then back to Tyler & James.

Cool, puddin.  How hard could it be to find a section of the Great Wall....ummm....how long is this wall  ??? ...ummm  :groan:

I believe it is a mere 1,500 miles long.  And it all looks pretty much the same.  But the spot climbed is probably that which is nearest Beijing and visited by hordes of tourists.

Sounds like some ignorant American saying that to a poor taxi driver...

"Quack, Quack!" = "Quick, Quick!"
