The Great Wall
Great Wall of China
This section of China’s Great Wall at Badaling was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is made of earth and rubble, faced with stone, and topped with brick.

The wall comes from where the sun rises and goes to where it sets.—William Lindesay

In the book Alone on the Great Wall, William Lindesay shared his thoughtful observations about his solo trek along the legendary rampart. Now, in the October 1999 issue of TRAVELER, the longtime Beijing resident shares his insights into the changing city.
