Feb. 23 Xingang, China






The Great Wall of China was amazing! The construction began in the 3rd century B.C. under the Qin Emperor and continued through the Ming Dynasty. It is the only man made artifact visible from the surface of the Moon. The wall stretches over 3,600 miles. We climbed on the wall for about an 1 1/2. It was steep, and all of the stairs were different heights. It was incredible that they put one block in at a time.
