China correspondents: Young Leaders start their journey

Exploring China's history

The Victorian Young Leaders to China group has started their tour. This week we visited one of the new seven wonders of the word, the Great Wall Of China. It was truly a sight to see. Even though we didn’t see all 4000 miles of it, we will always cherish that moment. It was quite funny to see older Chinese women hike the wall faster and better than we could. Along the way we had learnt information about the extraordinary history of the Great Wall Of China, we had learnt that the Great Wall was used as a defence mechanism to keep northern invaders from penetrating China. The Great Wall Of China was built by emperor Qin who started the construction around 230BC. Since then it was every emperors goal to complete the Great Wall.
