It is said that the Great Wall of China was built with wisdom, dedication, sweat, blood and tears. When the Chinese built the wall stretching thousands of kilometres long, they had no idea it would be their ticket to the world’s wall of fame. As JUDY OGUTU discovered during a recent visit to China, the site attracts thousands of tourists and international visitors daily
The Great Wall is one of the popular sites in China’s capital city-Beijing. Peking, as it is sometimes referred to has a history of more than 3,000 years. It boasts of treasures, making it one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations with about 140 million Chinese tourists and 4.4million international visitors.
