If we are both in China in September, we should definitely get together.

And this would be a nice place to meet if you would be interested!

Sorry, my memory is getting bad

If I go back to Denmark it will not be before October. However I have some meetings in the end of September, and sometime in the beginning of September I plan to go to Ningxia for about one week.

This 10km section (from 40.195041°n 115.785137°e to 40.243192°n 115.791717°e)was called Yangbiancheng(样边城) usually , all towers in this section were ruined, may be it is the reason why Yangbiancheng isn't popular .

Thank you again for the continued great information, andarchen.

The more I learn about this area, the more interested I am to see it for myself! I'm starting to think that this span is an excellent representation of the Wild Great Wall in the Beijing area.

Well, a few towers is always nice as long as they are not too well preserved (i.e. repaired)
