Nimble Ma Jei astonished tourists when she scrambled 70ft up a virtually sheer castle wall in eastern China - just to dodge the £2.50 admission fee.

Thrifty Jei - who had no rope or safety equipment - told fellow visitors she'd grown up in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, climbing the walls of Zhonghau Castle since childhood and had never once paid to get in.

But unfortunately her stunt encouraged other visitors to follow her example - with two falling and breaking their legs and three others having to be rescued by police.

Me? I'd pay the money. I am sure they put it to good use in maintaining the Wall.

How did the Wall keep out the invading hordes?

The supporting stepped wall wasn't there when the hoards were trying to cross it.

I am presuming that is what some of the money goes towards.
