This is the moment determined tourists painstakingly make their way up the Great Wall of China despite a thick layer of snow making it an extremely slippery and risky quest.

Recently published videos show the persistent adventure seekers struggling to overcome the slippery surface of the Wall near the capital city of Beijing during a 19th January excursion.

Visitors were unexpectedly faced with snowy conditions that made the climb up the stone wall nearly impossible, but they climbed anyway.

A clip filmed by one unnamed tourist shows the rest of the group behind them clinging to the cold handrails to avoid tumbling down. One woman was seen trying to warm up their hands with her breath.

Another scene showed young children carefully trying to make their way down along the extremely slippery surface.

One toddler was seen clinging to a man’s arm, presumably the father, and sliding down on its bum with dad’s support.

A second video shows a seemingly even larger number of tourists struggling to make their way to the top in their trainers.

One visitor said in a comment: “Actually, I took the cable car up. It was snowing, creating a special atmosphere, so I thought about walking down.

“It was the first time I came here and I was blindly confident.

“Unexpectedly, there were such steep paths. And several sections had particularly steep and slippery slopes, haha.”
