The Great Wall of China is the huge fortress that runs for several thousand kilometres from Jiayu Guan to China's east coast. Snaking through the Chinese countryside, the Great Wall passes just north of Beijing China.

Construction of the Great Wall began in the third century and continued for hundreds of years.
This world-famous landmark is a "must see" tourist attraction for all visitors to Beijing. Day tours to the Great Wall are available from most of the major hotels in Beijing.
