EDITORS COMMENTS
Standing sentinel over the rolling hills of Miyun County, the Great Wall of China stretches across the landscape like a serpentine dragon. This breathtaking section, known as the Gubeikou to Jinshanling section, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remote and untouched parts of the ancient structure. The rugged mountains and valleys surrounding it are dotted with watchtowers, beacon towers, and other fortifications that date back to the Ming Dynasty.
In this photograph, taken by Alan Copson for Discover Images by AWL, we see a stunning example of human ingenuity and perseverance. The wall winds its way up steep mountain slopes, disappearing into the distance as far as the eye can see. In some places it's crumbling and worn away by time, while in others it's well-preserved and imposing.
This image captures not only an incredible feat of engineering but also a testament to China's rich history and cultural heritage. It's a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there are still places where tradition meets tranquility.
