The Great Wall winds its way westward over the vast territory of China from the bank of the Yalu River and ends at the foot of snow-covered Qilianshan and Tianshan(mountains). It climbs steep mountains and cuts across pasturelands and deserts. A most massive barrier, it involves difficult engineering work and has a very long history. It is seldom that we see such a gigantic project in China or elsewhere in the world. This picture was taken in Beijing.
