Opposite the Gate, at the square's south, lies the Qianmen Tower (Zhengyangmen) housing a museum on Beijing's history. The National Museum of China and the Great People's Palace (government seat) flank the square's east and west sides, completing the grand scene.
Winding its way over 8,850 kilometers across China's mountains, deserts, and plains, the Great Wall is a challenge to hike. Even easy sections can be tough because the wall snakes up and down mountains and other obstacles. Don't forget comfy shoes and clothes for this adventure!
