My friend wants to know if you can walk the entire length of the great wall of china.

The Great Wall of China is the world's longest man-made structure - and consists of a series of walls. It stretches over a formidable 6,352 km (3,948 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Sea in the east, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Along most of its arc, it roughly delineates the border between North China and Inner Mongolia.
If your friend has the time, energy, and money [most important !], to indulge in this whim, he/she could hopefully walk its entire length in around 330 days - if he/she manages to cover at least 12 miles [19.3 km] each day.

It is impossible to walking the "ENTIRE" length of the great wall now. Some areas have been closed off for development, some areas are just not possible to walk through, and some areas have deteriorated so much that they are hardly recognizable. Only the protected, reserved lengths of the great wall are walkable. Of course, there are many, many miles of that. You'd have to do a lot of research about the route of the great wall, and how to get from one walkable spot to the other, as some are in very inhospitable, undeveloped areas.

As far as I know, the great wall isnt actually connected. There will be long stretches with no wall, and you will have to navigate through dangerous environment to find the next section of wall.
You can walk along each 'piece' of the great wall, then take a cab or something to the next 'piece'. But I think it is impossible to start in one place and walk all the way to the end.

THE Great Wall is not one wall but several. It is possible but it would take a few years and a lot of money to accomplish this.

it's not all intact, there are areas that have been covered or are rubble, but I hear the Chinese are updating it...some areas are in extreme environments, so you would need more than a water bottle and a sleeping bag to survive
