The Great Wall of China is one of the seven wonders of the world.  It is the longest man-made structure in the world, 25 feet high in some places, ranges from 15-30 feet wide, built over 2,000 years ago and is approximately 5,500 miles long.  It is the only man-made structure visible from space.  Looking down at the Great Wall from the sky is truly amazing and resembles a Chinese dragon. A visit to the Great Wall is one of the most memorable and impressive experience you'll have in China.
