We took a flight to China to visit the most famous monument in the Asian country: the Great Wall of China.

It is an imposing fortress, built in the V century, to protect the northern part of the Chinese Empire from attacks by nomadic peoples of Mongolia and Manchuria.

The building has been ordered by the Emperor Qin for his dynasty, and has remained there, unflinching through the centuries, but has had to be remodeled at least a chance.

With an area of 7,000 kilometers, connecting Shanhaiguan in the east, to Jiayuguan in the west, across six provinces in northern China.

Like any important historical monument, have deserved the title of World Heritage, and this gets it in the year 1987, when UNESCO and grants it two years ago, receives also the appointment of one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

But The Great Wall of China, hiding behind a sad story, because in the same building, killed more than 10,000 men, and because of this, is also known as "the world's largest cemetery .

Although much of it has deteriorated over time, and that today no longer fulfills the purpose for which it was built, continues to attract every day hundreds of tourists and remains one of symbols of China.
