If I had the opportunity for a one day all-expense pay trip to either The Great Wall of China or Stonehenge, I would definitely pick The Great Wall of China, because it is incredible that it is 5,500 miles long!  It is also incredible that it was completely manmade!  That is a lot of hard work.  It is the largest manmade cultural relic in the word.  It passes 156 counties in TEN cities!  It was eroded, rebuilt, extended out many times.  It was last constructed in the Ming Dynasty.  That is insane!!  I knew a little bit about the facts of this wall, but when I went into depth with the information I found a ton of interesting facts!!  If all of the walls around China were all put together and measured out, the length would exceed 31,000 miles long!  That is amazing!  They meant business!  The wall runs through, Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Beijing, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai.  The Great Wall (Ming Dynasty) is almost double the length of the United States!  That is ridiculously INCREDIBLE, and that's why I would love to spend a day there, even though it would take a few days than just one to explore it all.
