点评:I am a huge fan of Michael Bay's Transformers and enjoy visiting the places of filming. Last summer I finally found out that Jiankou is the actual section of the Great Wall, where a wonderful moment from Age of Extinction was filmed. Jiankou is wild, unrestored and very steep, while I am quite acrophobic, so I decided that I need a professional guide. I contacted Beijing Walking through their email (look on their site), and Leo promptly responded to my message. During a week or so we discussed all the details, and the final price turned out very affordable for a private tour for me alone. Arriving in Beijing I had to change my hotel, and in all the bustle I remembered to message Leo only one day in advance. On the day of our planned meeting Leo called me and was surprised that I changed the hotel, but he immediately asked me to give my phone to the hotel staff and they told him the exact address in Chinese. After half an hour my guide, Adele, and our driver picked me up. So everything went smoothly after all.
The tour itself was just unspeakably amazing! Adele is such a nice guide, she not even told me a lot of interesting things about the Wall and took very nice photos of me, but also agreed to change our itinerary to visit the exact place of filming. We took another route and ascended to the Little Potala tower, it was not easy at all, this route is slippery and very steep. It seems I felt a mild hypoxia as I am an inexperienced climber, and Adele helped me a lot, lending her hand and carrying my camera. We even had to climb a cliff, using our hands at some moment. Not for lighthearted, that's for sure! BUT IT WAS SO REWARDING AFTER ALL! My dream came true! The views are crazy! I cannot really describe them. Looking down from ZengBeiLou tower you feel like a soaring eagle. And it appears I am not so acrophobic, when I am well prepared, haha!
The lunch at the end was very delicious, and overall I couldn't imagine a better tour! Thanks everyone involved!
翻译:我是迈克尔·贝的《变形金刚》的超级粉丝,喜欢参观拍摄地。去年夏天,我终于发现箭扣长城就是长城的真实部分,《绝迹重生》的精彩瞬间就是在这里拍摄的。剑口很荒凉,未经修复,而且非常陡峭,而我有恐高症,所以我决定需要一个专业的向导。我通过他们的电子邮件联系了北京步行(查看他们的网站),Leo 立即回复了我的消息。在大约一周的时间里,我们讨论了所有细节,最终的价格对于我一个人的私人旅行来说非常实惠。到达北京后,我不得不换酒店,在忙碌中我才记得提前一天给Leo发消息。在我们计划会面的那天,Leo打电话给我,对我换了酒店感到很惊讶,但他立即让我把手机给酒店工作人员,他们用中文告诉了他确切的地址。半小时后,我的导游阿黛尔和我们的司机来接我。所以最终一切都很顺利。
这次旅行本身真是难以形容的惊人! Adele是一位非常好的导游,她甚至没有告诉我很多关于长城的有趣的事情,还给我拍了很好的照片,还同意改变我们的行程去参观拍摄的确切地点。我们走了另一条路,登上了小布达拉塔,一点也不容易,这条路很滑,而且很陡。由于我是一个没有经验的登山者,我感觉有点缺氧,阿黛尔帮了我很多忙,伸出了手,帮我拿了相机。有时我们甚至不得不用手爬上悬崖。不是为了轻松,这是肯定的!但毕竟还是很有意义的!我的愿望实现了!观点太疯狂了!我无法真正描述他们。从增北楼俯视,犹如一只展翅翱翔的雄鹰。而且看来我没有那么恐高症,只要我有充分的准备,哈哈!
最后的午餐非常美味,总的来说我无法想象更好的旅行!感谢所有参与的人!
