Great Wall Of China Backpacking

This classic view of The Great Wall of China is timeless, and you will appreciate its unique beauty no matter which season you choose to tour.

A short guide about Backpacking travel to Great Wall of China

The famous Great Wall of China was initially constructed over 2000 years ago. Starting in c. 220 B.C., sections of fortifications built earlier were joined together to form a united defence system against invasions from the north. Construction continued up to the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), when the Great Wall became the world's largest military structure. Its historic and strategic importance is matched only by its architectural significance.

Spanning over 6500 kilometres the Great Wall of China is one of the wonders of the world and of major cultural significance. A visit to the Great Wall is a must for your China vacation or tour and Tourabout has many different vacation options for you to choose from.
