Great Wall of China- In Jundu Mountains
Along steeper (NW) section in Jundu Mountains.
Portions of the Great Wall, built to protect China from invaders from the north and west, date back to the 7th Century BC. The present wall section in the Jundu Mountains (northwest of Beijing) was extensively rebuilt and enhanced during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and therefore is only about 500+ years old. Collectively, the 20,000+ kilometer (13,000+ mile) Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in history.
