Every country has its must-see monument — in China, that monument covers most of the country. The Great Wall of China is not just one wall but an awe-inspiring maze of walls and fortifications stretching for an astonishing 8,850 kilometers across the rugged landscape in the north of the country.
It's a myth that you can see the Great Wall from space, but when confronted by the sight of this endless structure stretching off into infinite distance, it seems almost impossible that this wouldn't be true. A few rugged souls trek the entire length of the wall, but even if you pick just one section, you'll be humbled by its aura of indestructibility.
