Construction of many of the ancient wonders of the world is mind boggling when you consider that they were made without the use of modern equipment. I would love to include some portion of the wall in some future travel plans.

Wall of China stretches from east to west across one of the largest countries in 
the world. From Shan-Hai Pass near Po Hai to Chia-Yu Pass, this around 6,000 km 
combination wall and string of fortresses is among the largest man-made objects 
on the planet. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://china.dcsventuresinc.com/"><P>The portions accessible to most visitors were constructed beginning around 1368 AD to roughly 1640 AD, with much of it in only the last hundred years of that period. Many watchtowers line the top, extending to the famed Gobi Desert and the oases of the Silk Road.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://china.dcsventuresinc.com/"><P>At whatever location the wall is toured, the views of the surrounding scenery is as spectacular as the wall itself.
