I plan to stay in Beijing for some days before setting off on the walk. Will probably take plane to Jiayuguan. Ten years ago my brother and I took a 30+ hour train to Xining, and it was fun. But I will save it for some other time :-) At Jiayuguan, I expect to stay at a nice hotell a few nights enjoying some luxury before setting off. Hi Bryan,

How will you get to Jiayuguan? If you take a train, you will see quite a bit of the Wall and the terrain you will be walking. And you will get a good feel for the huge distances. Will you be going directly to Jiayuguan and starting the trek immediately, or do you have some other plans first? Are you flying to Beijing? How will you get to Jiayuguan?
