-- THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA FROM MOON --

The Great Wall is a symbol of Chinese culture and civilization which has stood for more than 2,000 years.
The wall is so large that it is one of only two man-made objects which astronauts can see from space without using a telescope.

1Up Travel - The Great Wall of China - These radar images show two segments of the Great Wall of China in a desert region of north-central China, about 700 kilometers (434 miles) west of Beijing. The wall appears as a thin orange band, running from the top to the bottom of the of this image. These segments of the Great Wall were constructed in the 15th century, during the Ming Dynasty. The wall is between 5 and 8 meters high (16 to 26 feet) in these areas. The entire wall is about 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) long and about 150 kilometers (93 miles) of the wall appear in this image. The wall is easily detected from space by radar because its steep, smooth sides provide a prominent surface for reflection of the radar beam.
