The Great Wall, the symbol of the Chinese nation, stretches 6,350 kilometers from Shanhaiguan Pass on the east coast to Jiayuguan Pass in the Gobi Desert. It is classified as a world Cultural Heritage and is the most magnificent man-made project on earth.

It was also one of two structures that astronauts could see from the moon. An ancient Chinese saying: -You cannot be called a hero if you have never been to the Great Wall-. You can only truly experience the vastness of China and the essence of the Chinese spirit when you stand on the Great Wall.
