distinction greatly enhanced the allure of Great Wall tourism. Just like
a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts,
grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 8,851.8
kilometers (5,500 miles) from east to west of China. With a history of
more than 2000 years, some of the sections are now in ruins or have
disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions
all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical
significance. As a testament to the ingenuity of mankind, the Great Wall
has become one of the most popular tourist attractions around the world,
