There are many different sections of the Great Wall. We went to the section of the wall that's in a place called Mutianyu. You have to drive a few hours from Beijing to get there but it's definitely worth it.

There are guard towers built into the wall. Guards used to live in them and they had to watch out for invaders. We felt sorry for them because it's really nice up there but it would get very boring and lonely if you had to stay there and watch out for invaders all the time.
