The Great Wall of China, one of the most amazing man-made structures in the world


I am sure that most of you travelers would like to travel to one of the most amazing things built by man and one of the most amazing places in the world, the Great Wall of China.
The wall is unusually long, with 7300 km from east to west. Not counting its ramifications and secondary buildings, covering 6400 km from the border with South Korea at the edge of the Yalu River to the Gobi Desert, across seven provinces.
The provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions through which passes the Wall are (in alphabetical order): Gansu, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jilin, Liaoning, Mongolia Inside, Ningxia, Beijing, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Tianjin, and Xinjiang.
The Great Wall is made up of a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over 1,000 years.
A spectacular monument, that if you have the chance to visit sometime, would be one of the best experiences you could ever live.
