Shanhaiguan - A strategic pass where Great Wall reaches sea

Time to leave Shanhaiguan and head onwards to one of the world’s largest and fastest changing cities, Shanghai! Initially travelling back to Beijing, hard seat, on a train coming south from Jiamusi in far northeastern Heilongjiang. On a hot, wet and humid afternoon I realized we were not coming into Beijing Railway Station but to a much smaller Beijing South - open-air platforms and bridges to struggle across with luggage and then find transport into the city - so different to my frequent movements through today’s ultra-modern Beijing South!
