To most foreigners the words "the Great Wall" and "China" are nearly synonymous, for their geography textbooks have all taught them about one of the great wonders of the world. For the Chinese its somewhat the same, for a Chinese saying goes: "You won't be considered a great man if you have not been to the Great Wall."
