You can see most most visitors rather use the walk path (left) than climb through the tower. Any reason why?

@ahfatzia :

Many of these family-run inns serve great food at very good prices. It doesnt appear there is any fixed heater in the room or many of the folks would have their beds set up on top of heated up stoves or kangs in the country side.

Have some delicious 饺子 Jiaozhi

or some of these steamed buns with different assortment of fillings in your next tour around Beijing!
