The Great Wall is one of the most incredible UNESCO World Heritage sites in the world. Stretching across much of northern China, the Great Wall is among the world's greatest feats of engineering. Trying to see the entire wall would be impossible (literally, since many parts of it no longer exist), but for our visit we focused on one of the best preserved areas: Mutianyu, to the north-east of Beijing. Let's go!
