Charmain Mao once said "you are not a hero until you have walked on the Great Wall" ... I am now a hero! It's hard to believe the age and extent of this great wall. With over one million people dying whilst in the process of making it, it is sometimes called by the Chinese people "the great cemetery". But don't expect to find a grave at every turn, this wall runs for just over 20,000 kms. The surrounding area is just as impressive with beautiful tree covered mountains and gorgeous scenery. The stairs and climb is not for the faint hearted but worth it to finally become "a hero". A place to definitely add to your bucket list.
