"Where in the World is....."

 

Location #6 Great Wall of China, China

      The Great Wall of China really isn't just one wall that was built at one point in time.  It is several walls that were built over nearly thousands years ago.  When they were all connected together, there was over 4,000 miles of wall! 
      Some say the Great Wall of China looks like a dragon that winds up and down and around China.  In the fall of 2006, Dr. Novak is teaching in Shanghai, China.  I hope to go with him.  We both hope to travel north to Beijing and see the Great Wall of China.
