An individual stands smiling on the stone pathway of the Great Wall of China at Badaling, located in Yanqing District, China. The male subject, with dark skin, wears a light green short-sleeved t-shirt, dark pants, dark sneakers, headphones around his neck, and a black sling bag across his chest. He faces the camera directly, positioned in the center of the ascending stone pathway. The pathway is constructed from large, irregular grey stone blocks forming steps, flanked by dark grey brick walls. Metal railings with dark grey handrails and rusty brown vertical supports line both sides of the pathway. In the background, other individuals are visible ascending the steps, which curve upwards towards a distant watchtower-like structure. Green trees and foliage are present on either side of the wall, under a clear blue sky with minimal cloud cover.
