The Great Wall of China is one of the world's best places to walk. It has beauty, history, variety, and complexity. The landscape varies from rolling green mountains to stark yellow desert. The challenge ranges from trivial to extreme. The weather varies from bitter cold to intense heat. And the environment goes from a carnival atmosphere to utter desolation.
