The Great Wall of China is the largest construction on earth, but myths about it are more widely known about it than facts. The best way to appreciate it is to explore it on foot. This book focuses on the most rewarding and accessible sections of the Wall, dating from the Min Dynasty (1368-1644). This is the essential guide for hikers. Includes a fold out map showing the great wall in two panels with an inset of Beijing, summaries of distances & terrain, local history and travel information.
