Thanks, Lauren.  Can anyone confirm this?

Other websites claim that it will now be closed until 2014. Can anyone confirm USA Lauren's report that it is now hikeable? Many thanks!

Lucy · Answer

Yes, the wall itself still closed by now, but the surrounding area and some wild wall sections are hikeable, but very dangerous without official service around. I read a news which reports that a Chinese backpacker climbed that with some companions and fell down to the cliff to death. Do think twice before your trip there!
