Great Wall of China 

,The Great Wall never fails to fascinate visitors. It has its own growing number of fans and admirers. With some of its sections either crumbling or completely buried under the dusts of history, it stays a powerful magnet for today's tourists. It soars thousands of miles along the mountaintops that separate the nomads from the farmers throughout history - passing through scenic areas that are truly breathtaking to viewers. In 1987 UNESCO registered the Great Wall as World Heritage. Get to know the wall with more photos at China Great Wall Pictures

The pavilion on the Yuntai of Ju Yong Guan

For a change you don't see any walls here. You are at "a platform on clouds" - Yuntai in Ju Yong Guan, one of the principal gates or openings in the ancient defence line 

The wall comes right down to the river and crosses it. Thankfully the fierce hordes from the north are never good fighters on water. They live and die on horsebacks.
