The Great Wall of China is a must-see for any traveler. Stretching from east to west, across the ancient northern border of China, the Wall is one of the most remarkable engineering feats in human history. Discreetly tucked away in Ming Dynasty fortresses and punctuated by watchtowers and beacon towers, the wall is over 2,500 years old and runs over 5,500 miles in length. One can walk the wall, or take tours along the lush landscape, including inhospitable terrains of the Gobi Desert, or Qin Mountains. In some places the Wall is surrounded by local villages, while in other areas, it stands in grand architectural isolation. A paradise for photographers, the Great Wall of China offers plenty of captivating scenic views, never-ending bicycle rides, horseback riding and beautiful sunsets.
