The Wall feature steep trenches and watchtowers to ward off invaders. Climbing the Great Wall on foot provides a unique and up-close experience of this historic landmark.

The Great Wall of China is more than just a wall, it symbolizes resilience and strength. As we climb the Great Wall nowadays, we use our tenacity to climb to a higher place!
