“He who has not been to the Great Wall of China is not a true man”<\/i>, Mao Zedong is quoted. So there is no time to lose, right? When travelling China or you are even living in China, you cannot afford to miss this wonder of human construction art.<\/p>\n

\"Great<\/p>\n

What comes to your mind, when thinking of the Great Wall of China? In my thoughts I always associated it with one of the top sights to see when in Beijing<\/a>. And I had pictures in my head, where the wall wriggles on the mountain ridges as the back of a dragon. But did you know that the Great Wall, one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World”, is actually 21.196,18 kilometres long and stretches through large parts of Northern China? This enormous length is really hard to imagine. But to understand more easily let me mention that there are various sections, which were all built during different dynasties to secure the Chinese Empire from nomadic horse folks of the North. A border fortification so to speak, which goes beyond our imagination and because of this for sure is one of the top sights, when visiting China.<\/p>\n

\"Great<\/p>\n

But where exactly should you go to see the Great Wall of China, as there are so many options? Which is the most accessable sight, where will you have the best views and how to avoid large crowds? This and even more insights I will share in a separate BlogPost.<\/i><\/p>\n
