The Great Wall was continuously built from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD as the great military defence project of successive Chinese Empires, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. The Great Wall begins in the east at Shanhaiguan in Hebei province and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu province to the west. Great Wall is the must-visit site when travelling to Beijing.
Unfortunately The Wall became a crumbling, melancholy monument to China’s imperial grandeur, so imposing that it inspired the stubborn myth that it is visible from the moon. One part of the wall is now even more visible now. Chinese preservationists have been incensed this week after pictures showed that officials repaired part of th Great Wall in northeast China by slapping a white substance on top of the crumbling, weathered stones. This stretch of the wall now looks like a cement skateboarding lane dumped in the wilderness - Mutiany, China.
