No travel list is complete without mentioning the Great Wall of China. While China is a vast place, and there is no doubt many other things to do there, all tourists should make it a goal for themselves to visit the Great Wall of China. Built many centuries ago to protect China from marauding tribes, the wall stands today as a testament to the strength and resilience of the Chinese people.
The Great Wall itself is an unforgettable sight. The wall is 7 meters high, and 7 meters thick, making it virtually impossible to destroy in the age when it was built. It takes at least a day to walk between all of its battlements, which is why many people that see the place haven't explored the entirety of the wall. Most see just a small part of the overall structure.
