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.

a_greatwall.jpg (9452 bytes)The Great Wall was built 2,500 years ago. It is one of the most spectacular architectures and fortifications of ancient China. 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.
