The Great Wall of China is a wonder of the ancient world. Stretching over 5000 miles in length and built, initially, in the 5th century B.C., the Wall was constructed to protect China's northern border. The Great Wall is one of the most recognizable monuments in the world.
"[My favorite landmark is] the Great Wall. The wall is so impressive and is so much better than what any picture can portray. With IES Abroad, we were able to spend a full weekend hiking the wall and residing in a local village." -Sean K., Bryant University
