The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. The most comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has recently concluded that the entire Great Wall, with all of its branches, stretches for 8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi). This is made up of 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) of sections of actual wall, 359.7 km (223.5 mi) of trenches and 2,232.5 km (1,387.2 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers. The majestic Great Wall was built with wisdom, dedication, blood, sweat and tears. It has been estimated that somewhere in the range of two to three million Chinese died as part of the centuries-long project of building the wall.

This really is a cool place and it seems to attract all kinds of people! We were on it in the fall of 2008 and it has to be seen to be believed! You get people with babies on it, young girls in 3 inch heels on it and people like me who were huffing our way up it.
The top of it is not what you would think. I had it in my head "wall, top flat and even" SO NOT SO! It was build in a defensive way with steep smooth parts that are hard to climb and a horse would be no use; it also had steps that were totally uneven with risers varying from 2 inches to 18 inches in height. Way to trip a group of charging troops. The Mongol side had a high crenalated wall and the China side a low rounded one. The fact that it was a compilation of the many existing wall from the various individual war lord regions was cool too.
Nice to find someone else who finds the world a very interesting place!
Write something about India too. There is so much missing from this article. It could have been longer.
