6. Great Wall of China

One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Wall of China lies in the mountains to the north of Beijing. Although credit for the wall's construction is normally attributed to Qin Shi Huang who reigned during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), the first fortifications to keep out Mongol invaders were built at this site as far back as the 5th century BC. At its peak the wall spanned some 6400 km (4000 miles) from the west of China to Beijing. Badaling is the nearest and most popular spot for tourists to visit the Great Wall.
