The Great Wall of China

Gutter system

Walking along the Great Wall I could not help but notice the smell of the air, it smelt so good for some seemingly inexplicable reason. Jeff pointed out that since the Great Wall is out of the city and away from the smog --which at this point I had been smelling for over two weeks-- I was simply smelling clean air. That's healthy.

Climbing the Great Wall

There is no wonder in my mind as to why the Great Wall of China is one of the seven wonders of the world. I expected to see a great wall, but the Great Wall of China left me completely speechless. The views were breathtaking, the history --so real, and the fact that the Great Wall is 5,500 MILES LONG made this day into the top five I've ever experienced.

Our trip guide took me on an extended journey to the China Central Television Headquarters upon my constant plea to see this building in real life. Yup, it was as cool as one might expect.
