I don't know why I can't resist going there again. Maybe the same reason people climb mountains. And Jiankou. The most dangerous places I can think of on the Great Wall. "Feel the fear and then do it anyway", as Nathan said to Polly. I'm glad he wasn't talking to me! So far it has been "feel the fear and then go back" for me.

Follow the road to 40° 7'27.12"N 119°29'43.41"E to see the first non-dangerous part and then get a car to take us to this area: 40° 6'0.26"N 119°19'9.14"E
That looks like a good plan.
