EP1 ~ "Real Fast! Quack, Quack!"
Neobie:
Sigh... Thought my Chinese could help me with the Forbidden City Guard, but so far all I've got is this...

In other news, kill me now. I found forty-two gates within the Forbidden City, with the possibility of more! However, this door, unlike most, doesn't open flat against the inner wall, instead being movable outwards up to 180°. Now we just need to eliminate those one by one...
Edited to add: How about the Mongol (hey I'm not 100% sure on this) pointing north... into Mongolia?

:lol: I should have known, after my Wrath of Khan reference, that Neobie would try and slip in a Jackie Chan / Hong Kong reference into this thread. Nice one.

Boingo:
Just noticed something about the racers climbing the Great Wall. Looks like they are using rope ladders in a mountainous section of the wall. Did some googling, and found this snippet:
"A Ming dynasty beacon tower on the Great Wall in a mountainous area. The door on top could only be reached by scaling a rope ladder. ..."
The link was broken, so don't know exactly if this relates to what we see in the photo. May help narrow down the location.

Grabbed this from the cached page... Google knows everything... ;D
Looks pretty run-down to be the one in the photo?
Boingo:
Great, you found the same site. ;D
