Wonders of the World : Great Wall of China

Back in November 2004, I was posted on-site in Beijing working for a telecommunications company. Since I was assigned at the Beijing office for a good three months, I had a lot of weekends to explore Beijing. While I visited places like "Forbidden City" and "Temple of Heaven" on my own, I opted for a guided tour for the Great Wall. The Hotel (China World Hotel) could organize a English-speaking guide. The tour took us first to the Ming Tombs, and then the Badaling section of the Great Wall.
