A City of Monumental Wonders

Beijing, the capital city of China, is a city that holds grandeur and history in every nook and corner. The size of its landmarks is both humbling and awe-inspiring. A walk along the Great Wall of China, an ancient engineering marvel, gave an insight into the dedication and vision of the past dynasties.
