Catherine and I had a very relaxing and worthwhile weekend escape to the Great Wall Commune located close to the Badaling section of the Great Wall. The Commune is a type of hotel/resort that features Chinese-designed villas that can be rented out to guests. I don't know what the price of the modern and spacious villas are, and you know what they say about having to ask about prices, but we did stay at the Commune's more modest accomodations. The Commune has its own section of the Great Wall for guests to explore. The section of the wall is a "wild" section, meaning that it has not been restored to a Disneyland-esque condition. It was great to hike on this section of the wall, with almost noone else around. The weather was great - some fluffy snow, then followed by clear blue sky the next day.
