Great Wall Map

 

(1) GREAT WALL IN HEBEI...

 These five Chinese characters on the tablet hung on the east gate of the Shanhaiguan Pass mean "The First Pass under Heaven".

(2) GREAT WALL IN BADALING...

The Great Wall literally means "the Long Wall" (Chang Cheng), over 5,000 kilometers (4,161 miles) from east to west of China.

(3) GREAT WALL AT JUYONGGUAN PASS...

Coming down from the mountain ridge and running into the river, the towers stretch into the water at both sides of a river.

(4)  GREAT WALL AT MUTIANYU...

Yellow leaves of trees added to the attraction of this section of the Great Wall.

(5)  GREAT WALL AT JINSHANLING...

Under the azure bule sky, this watch tower at Jinshanling seems more majestic and grand.

(6) GREAT WALL AT SIMATAI...

What is this old man thinking? Just for a rest or being sorrowful for the damaged Great Wall.

(7) GREAT WALL AT HUANGHUACHENG...

In early autumn, the Huanghuacheng Great Wall among mountains shows us a bright scenery of a line.
