The Great Wall

Welcome back again with Visit ToDay. Today we are going to talk about the Great Wall. Great Wall is one of the 7 wonders of the world. Your visit to China would not be complete without seeing this symbol of China's isolation. Was built from 5th Century BC to 221 BC, these walls were made mostly by stamping earth and gravel between board frames. The Great Wall winds its way from east seaside to west desert of China, with a length exceeding 5.000 KM. To visit all of the walls is almost impossible, but you can visit some famous parts.

The following Great Wall is located near beijing.
  1. Ba Da Ling Great Wall. This part, which means "giving access to every direction", is very splendid and is the best-preserved section of the Great Wall.
  2. Si Mai Tai Great Wall. This part is famous for its craggedness, old people is not suitable for climbing this section. For more information about this section you can visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simatai.
  3. Jin Shan Ling Great Wall. This part is never rebuilt, it remain as it was 400 years ago. Most foreigner like this part.
  4. Mu Tian Yu Great Wall. The mountain on this part have a high forest cover rate (around 90%), therefore it is beautiful. If you come in Summer, I suggest you to visit this part because of the forest. For more information about this section you can visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutianyu.
  5. Ju Yong Guan Great Wall.
