Many of you may not know this but, the Great Wall Of China isn't actually a whole wall. There are several parts of the wall in China (in the North of China) and this part, Badaling, is the most famous one. It was promoted as as national key and cultural relic. In 1988 was enlisted in the World Cultural Heritage Directory by UNESCO but only on July 7, 2007 gained the reputation of being among the New Seven Wonders of the World. Badaling is situated at over 70 km north from the city of Beijing and it was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Badaling is over 7,000 meters high and the total length one can visit is 3,700 meters (some parts are closed to visitors).
