I have visited China many times, mostly on business, and have been fortunate enough to visit the Great Wall three times. My first visit was in 1999 when two work colleagues and I found ourselves in Beijing at a weekend. We decided to visit the Mutianyu Section of the Wall about 60km from Beijing, as it was reported to be less crowded than the nearby Badaling or Juyongguan sections.
Upon arrival by bus, we had the choice of walking up to the wall or taking the gondola. I decided to get some exercise and walk up the thousand-or-so steps to an entrance next to one of the towers. The path was lined with ladies selling cold drinks, which got more expensive the further up I went. Mutianyu's 2.5 kilometer stretch of the Wall has been very well restored (in the 1980s) and enables visitors to explore 22 watchtowers, which is a much higher concentration than on most parts of the Great Wall. There are also a couple of 'tail walls' which jut out from the main wall for additional protection. S...
Award-winning artist, Richard Harpum, paints in a realist style, paying meticulous attention to detail. His medium of choice is acrylics on canvas or board but he also uses oils and paints watercolour florals. Richard's primary focus is landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and gardens but he also paints portraits, still lifes and florals. The effective use of light is a key ingredient to all of Richard’s works and he spends a great deal of time before starting a painting in selecting a composition that provides both drama and contrast. Born in Bromley, England, in 1951, Richard has had a passion for drawing and painting from a very young age. As a youngster, he was always drawing and became a prolific painter after he received an...

Impressive composition with a great sense of distance captured. An amazing amount of work has gone in to the important details of the brickwork for example and is painted to a very high standard. I'm amazed at the paintings small size! v

great painting and wonderful story Richard! I went with my mother last year, she is 80 years old we also went to this part of the wall. It was very special to share this experience with my mother.
Richard Harpum replied:
Thanks, Alfred. This is my favorite section of the Wall and I'm glad you and your mother liked it.

I have visited China many times, mostly on business, and have been fortunate enough to visit the Great Wall three times. My first visit was in 1999 when two work colleagues and I found ourselves in Beijing at a weekend. We decided to visit the Mutianyu Section of the Wall about 60km from Beijing, as it was reported to be less crowded than the nearby Badaling or Juyongguan sections. Upon arrival by bus, we had the choice of walking up to the wall or taking the gondola. I decided to get some exercise and walk up the thousand-or-so steps to an entrance next to one of the towers. The path was lined with ladies selling cold drinks, which got more expensive the further up I went. Mutianyu’s 2.5 kilometer stretch of the Wall has been very well restored (in the 1980s) and enables visitors to explore 22 watchtowers, which is a much higher concentration than on most parts of the Great Wall. There are also a couple of “tail walls” which jut out from the main wall for additional protection. Some parts were extremely steep, which made me realize that manning the Wall when it was in use during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1627) was probably not much fun. When we arrived it was very hazy but as the day went on it cleared and we were rewarded by a wonderful evening, which gave the wall a spectacular orange glow. This painting shows the view looking south from a point a few hundred metres from the main gondola terminal. Since my visit, a second gondola has been constructed serving the other end of the section. However, when I visited, I decided to take the fast route down using a steel toboggan run that wound down the hillside through multiple hairpin turns. This looked like it would be huge fun but the local staff kept telling me to slow down and about half way down I got stuck behind a lady who was going very slowly. Maybe next time…
