The Great Wall served as an important military pass and a vital barrier against the northern minority’s harassment.

Archaeological studies report that it is approximately 21,196 km (13,171 mi) long. There are two main parts to the Great Wall: the southern; and the northern.

The southern part is very steep to the point where some may even call it dangerous, a side rarely visited by tourists.

After trekking through and admiring the Great Wall in all its glory, we're set to visit the Summer Palace, the best-preserved imperial garden in the world featuring architectural masterpieces as well as beautiful scenery.

Summer Palace was originally created as a retreat for emperors who sought out an escape from the Beijing scorching summer heat.
