The Ball crosses The Great Wall

At last, the Ball crosses the Great Wall… heading east from Xinjiang to Gansu provinces. This is the most westerly part of the Great Wall, and it was from here that Chinese undesirables were flung into exile. To the west is Xinjiang, populated mainly by Uyghur people, to the east is Gansu, where the population is increasingly Han Chinese.

The terrible truth - Phil is actually nutmegged by The Wall!
MEGS!!!

The Ball respects only lines on a football field, and embraces everything else. There is no ‘One China’; there is only ‘One World’.

One World
One World, and only one. Let’s not forget.

We move on from the heat of the desert and look forward to meeting Rob in Lanzhou.
