No one can leave China without a tour of the Great Wall; there is an old Chinese saying which aptly describes this notion nobody can be a true hero unless he has been on the great wall! Better known as the Long Wall or Changcheng in China, it stretches for a staggering 6,000kms. The wall stretches from the fortress of Shanhaigun on the eastern edge to Jiayuguan in the west; it passes through Beijing, Tientsin, and Hebei, which boasts the best-preserved sections of the wall, as well as, the interiors of Mongolia, Gansu, and Ningxia.
