The Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, stretching over 13,000 miles across northern China. Originally built to protect ancient China from invasions, it’s an impressive feat of engineering, with walls, watchtowers, and fortresses running through rugged mountains, deserts, and plains. Construction began in the 7th century BC, but much of the structure we see today was built during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).
The Great Wall isn’t a single continuous wall but a series of walls and fortifications that were built and rebuilt over the centuries. Today, it attracts millions of visitors from around the world, drawn by its history, scale, and the breathtaking views it offers. Hiking along the wall offers a chance to walk through history, with some sections in better condition than others. It’s a must-see for travelers looking to experience China’s rich past and the sheer determination it took to construct such a massive structure.
