The Great Wall of China: 'New' Seven Wonders of the World
The picture taken on July 1, 2007, shows tourists making their way down the Great Wall of China, at Simatai, northeast of Beijing. The Ming-Dynasty Wall was built as one of four major strategic strongholds for defensive purposes from tribes invading from the north. As one of the 18 candidates, China's Great Wall has been announced as the 'New' Seven Wonders in an Internet poll on July 7, 2007 in Lisbon. But the result has upset cultural experts. (Xinhua/AFP)
