The picture above shows the mountains of China north of Beijing. The picture was taken from the Great Wall in June, 1990. This was originally a slide which I scanned, so the quality is not great. But I found it amazing that the wall could be built through such mountainous terrain.

There is a saying that "you won't be a hero if have not visited the Great Wall."
You are now a hero.

How lucky you are to have visited the Grande Muraille. Wonderful memories you must have.
Quite the engineering feat isn't it???
Amazing!
Enjoy your day.

I guess that's why it is listed as one of the 7 Great Wonders of the Medieval World! How great that you have seen this magnificent sight!
Beautiful!
Wow, the mountains are beautiful and rugged. Must have been quite a task, building the wall through there.
Its beautiful!
Enlarging the picture really shows the ruggedness of the area.These old pictures hold lots of treasure.

You have visited and seen so many amazing places George. I love that you share all of these beautiful places with us through your photos. :)
Magnificent!
I once watched a historical documentary about the construction of the Great Wall. It was horrendous.
