Beijing, China – Visitors to the Badaling section of the Great Wall of China can now take advantage of cutting-edge exoskeleton technology to enhance their hiking experience. Starting this week, the popular tourist destination is offering a new service that allows guests to rent an innovative climbing assistance exoskeleton for just 100 yuan (approximately $15) for three hours.
