Nothing. You can see no man-made structures from the Moon. You can't see the great wall of china; it's a myth.

There is **NO man-made structure** on the Earth that can be seen with the naked eye from the Moon.
And it is for basically the same reasons that there is no man-made telescope, either on Earth or in orbit, that can take a picture that will show anything on any of the six landing sites on the moon. They subtend too small an arc to be resolved by any known camera system, or the human eye, at those ranges.

Actually, this is a myth and is not true.
There are vast amounts of man-made structures visible from the space shuttle, which orbits only 300 km above the Earth's surface. The moon, on the other hand, is 400,000 km away. From the moon one can only make out oceans, continents, and the like...no man-made objects are visible.

No "man made"structure is visible from the moon.
The Chinese wall is not visible from a distance >300,000km.
Lets make simple calculations:
Distance Earth-Moon 380,000,000 m (APR)
Imagine a man at 380m (about 1/4 mile)
All objects we can see on eartg from the moon have to
be 1,000,000 times larger than those we see at 380m.
Can you see if he has a gun?
20cm x 1,000,000 = 200km (The width of Italy!)

Not even from orbit can the eye see any man made items. It does not have the resolving power. The great wall though definitely long enough to see, isnt thick enough to see. Google Earth can see to the ground but you have to use the systems filtering software to resolve down to that detail.

You can Google Earth the Great Wall of China, does that count?

There is none. The Great Wall is visible from Earth orbit with the aid of a telescope, but that is it.
If you don't believe me, download Google Earth and try to spot manmade landmarks when you are zoomed out.
