Rucksack Readers Explore The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is the largest construction on earth, yet myths about it are more widely known than facts.
The best way to appreciate the Great Wall is to explore it on foot. This richly illustrated book focuses on especially rewarding parts of the Ming Dynasty Wall (1368-1644).
The sections include Laolongtou, where the Great Wall runs into the sea, and Panjiakou reservoir, a tranquil hike and boat trip. The glorious stretch from Simatai to Jinshanling runs along high ridges with 30 watch towers, and the Badaling and Mutianyu sections are surprisingly accessible from Beijing.
The book sets the Ming Wall in the context of wall systems developed by different dynasties since the seventh century BC.
