Wall Across the Ridges

The Great Wall is not one single line but a vast system of fortifications across mountains, passes, and old frontiers. Leaving Beijing, the aircraft tracks toward rugged terrain where sections of the Wall climb ridges like a stone spine. Unlike the other wonders, this one stretches beyond a single viewpoint; it is a landscape-scale monument to defence, labour, and empire.
