Always wanted to see the Great Wall in the winter. China is an incredible place to experience. Really want to go back one day soon.

How It’s Unique: Chiseled by hand in the 1970s, the Guoliang Tunnel is a road that Mahmassani calls “a sculpture more than a means of transportation.” The tunnel passes through a treacherous section of the Taihang Mountains and is lined with makeshift windows that provide scenic but terrifying views. With a clearance of only 15 feet, a width of 12 feet and a precipice around every other bend, navigating this short tunnel is a guaranteed thrill. via Popular Mechanics. Click through for more.

file under: great locations four women in my office are getting married this summer, each with her own unique take on the occasion. talking to them today, I was reminded of the wedding I stumbled upon when I was in China, an outdoor summer ceremony held at Commune by the Wall (Kempinski hotels). quite a spectacular backdrop.
