The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is said to be the biggest structure ever created by humans. The wall was created thousands of years ago to safeguard the Chinese civilizations against Hun invasions. The Great Wall of China stretches for an incredible 21,196 meters. There are several picturesque locations per kilometer. Jiankou and Mutianyu are excellent locations for taking great photographs. Both are around 80 kilometers from Beijing, China's capital. You'll have to take a breather at Jiankou to take it all in. The Great Wall of China twists its way across two hills there, looking incredibly magnificent. However, it is especially steep there, so use caution when photographing.

A relatively well-preserved section of the wall may be seen in Mutianyu. As a result, you won't have to be as concerned about your safety there. Mutianyu's wall includes several towers and is encircled by forests, making for a picturesque setting for your photographs. This provides several picture options. If you wish to snap images of yourself, use a self-timer or have a buddy photograph you and the wall simultaneously. A high place on the wall where you can catch the expansive perspective is ideal for this. When the leaves change color in October, you may also catch beautiful color highlights.
