Great Wall

Tourist attractions Great Wall

The Great Wall of China stretches across the northern part of the country, running through mountains, deserts, and valleys from Gansu Province to the Bohai Sea near Beijing. Rather than a single wall, it is a vast defensive network linking watchtowers, fortresses, and strategic passes, with iconic sections such as Badaling and Mutianyu offering breathtaking views and easy access from the capital.Built and rebuilt over more than two thousand years, this monumental structure represents the resilience and ingenuity of ancient China. A lesser-known curiosity is that many original sections were designed to blend into the surrounding landscape using local materials like stone, earth, and brick, making the wall surprisingly discreet from a distance and far more effective as a defensive barrier.
