The Great Wall is the world's largest man-made structure, stretching over a formidable 6,352 km (3,948 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Sea in the east, at the limit between "China proper" and Manchuria (Northeast China), to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region [1]. Along most of its arc, it roughly delineates the border between North China and Inner Mongolia.

The most awesome man-made structure ever created in the ancient world, the Great Wall of China lies across the northern borders of China, snaking its way through most of the provinces in northern China. Just like a giant dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers (4,163 miles) from Shanhaiguan in the eastern part of China to Jiayuguan in the western part.

The wall was originally intentioned as protection against the northern frontier enemies. After thousands of years of decay, expansion and rebuilding the wall has become the symbol of the indomitable Chinese spirit. The most popular visited section of the Wall, called Badaling Great Wall, is about 500 years old and is in Beijing. The oldest part of the Wall is in the far west out in the middle of the desert and is over 2000 years old. Those ruins lay in sand, and other than a few inches showing above the sand, you can barely tell the grandeur of the Wall!

It runs along the north-west border of China, for about 1300 miles.

The tourist area is just outside of Beijing. Much of the rest is in ruins.
