The Great Wall of China: An Architectural Masterpiece

🏔️ Stretching over 1,200km through the mountains north of Beijing, the Great Wall follows the natural line of the peaks, reaching breathtaking heights.

🌍 The wall marks the frontier between civilization and the alien world beyond.

🧱 Multiple dynasties have contributed to the construction of the wall, with each adding their own section.

🏰 The Great Wall of China spans over 25,000 km and many parts are yet to be discovered.
