About Travel & Places

The Great Wall winds more than thirteen thousand miles across northern China, scaling steep mountain ridges and descending into dusty valleys in an unbroken stone spine. Watchtowers rise at every crest, where sentries once lit beacon fires to carry warnings across the frontier in minutes. Built and rebuilt over many centuries, most of the wall visitors walk today dates to the Ming dynasty, whose engineers cut granite blocks and fired millions of clay bricks to raise a fortification that still takes the breath away.
