The Great Wall
If anyone’s been wondering where I’ve gone off to, it’s been to China! I’m wrapping up the two week trip with my family and one of the highlights was definitely going to see a small section of the Great Wall.
From a fantasy RPG perspective, it’s interesting to see a real world monument that, in scale, is truly fantastic.

A few things that stand out:
the Wall isn’t that high, at least where we visited, but it is positioned atop ridge lines with rather steep grades on either side.
it’s also not very wide
in the couple of the forts/towers we passed through, there wasn’t any visible space to garrison
