I visited the Great Wall of China and the Mutianyu section, one of the 7 World Wonders for the first time and I could not believe how beautiful and majestic the Great Wall is. Seeing it with my own eyes, while having seen it on so many pictures and videos throughout my whole life was simply surreal. It was a dream coming true!
