Běijīng's Top 13
1
Not only is this China's most famous landmark, it's one of the superlative manmade
sights on earth. The Great Wall snakes its way across northern China for almost 9000km,
but nowhere beats Běijīng as a base for mounting your assault. Scattered throughout the
municipality are more than a dozen fragmented stretches, from the perfectly chiselled to the
charmingly dilapidated. You can get to them by bus, by train, by taxi...even by bike. And
the adventurous can hike along it for days. The question isn't whether to see the Great
Wall; it's how.
