Every time I hear of the Great Wall of China, I get sad, thinking about the history behind it and brutal emperors.

So cool that you traveled to China. It took until my last year there before I could get people to visit me. The history is amazing and the Great Wall was impressive.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, researching the history before I visited kind of added to the experience. I imagine not many people understand the history of how these things were created and the conditions people were in when they where built.
I saw the Grand Canyon isn't that considered to be a wonder?
ReplyDeleteI would love to see pyramids.
Good luck with xy and z.
