The Great Wall of China

This is not any wall, this is The Great Wall. It's roughly 6,400 to 6,700 km long and made of various fortifications built between the 6th century BC and the 16th century AD.

I hiked for 10 kilometres on the Great Wall, between Jinshanling and Simatai, under ruthless sunshine and scorching heat.

Truly exhilarating.




I went to the Great Wall of China twice last year. To see the pictures, click on the following links:
