Taking a cable car up to walk on the Great Wall of China, chatting with locals from the elderly to teenagers, then taking an alpine slide back down, adds a Disney-style touch to visiting one of the World's 7 Wonders. But walking from one watchtower to another to another (there are 22 on the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall) and stopping to peer through the tiny spaces in the parapets where warriors fired arrows at invading armies, you have to marvel at their bravery.
