Throughout our journey Toyotoro has received much attention and positive feedback from various locals, from offerings of thumbs up, often at the risk of the driver’s own safety as it mostly occurred on the move, to comments such as ‘machina bomba’ which we can only hope it’s something mightily cool.
However, nowhere was the power of hospitality so great as those we encountered in China. It started with a Mr. Ming, whom we befriended while figuring out how to get a better photo of Toyotoro with the iconic Great Wall. We decided that a proof of our grand arrival with China’s iconic structure is essential. Luckily for us it just happens Mr. Ming works at the Great Wall; thus, he was not only more than happy to open the gate for us but also offering us tips as to which angles to best take the photos.
Let us not forget The Great Wall of China is a 5A-ranked tourist attraction armoured with the security measures befitting its rank. This include electric gates and turnstiles for mass control. I would like to also add that in order to reach the wall we had to cross a bridge over a large dam and various narrow pedestrian paths. We thank you Mr. Ming for your kindness and help.
