Beijing - The Great Wall of China


The Great Wall of China: Built to protect China from enemy invasions; it was first created in the third century BC; much of the Great Wall known today was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644); the Great Wall is about 4,000-9,000 miles long (depending on the method of measurement) and wide enough for six horses to run abreast.

It’s absolutely magnificent!
