The Great Wall of China is one of the most impressive structures on the face of the earth. It is so large that it can be seen from space.

The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states as protection against various groups from the warring time.

The one thing most people “know” about the Great Wall of China—that it is one of the only man-made structures visible from space.

Why do people visit the wall?

Learn Chinese History:

Hire a personal guide, consult a guide book, or follow the signs as you snake your way along the Great Wall.

Test Your Endurance:

With ranges of the wall tiring tourists out after less than a mile, climbing the steep steps of the Great Wall is a fabulous test of endurance.

Take Photos:

The views from atop the wall, or even close-ups of the structure itself, afford many opportunities to practice your photography skills.

Reflect:

Thinking about the engineering intelligence, tribal loyalty, fear, willpower and endurance that created this structure is really the primary reason for a visit to the Great Wall of China. 

The End of The Great Wall

Everything has a beginning and an end – even the Great Wall of China.
