President Bush Arrives at Great Wall

US President George W. Bush arrived at Badaling, a section of the Great Wall some 70 kilometers to the northwest of Beijing, Friday afternoon before he concludes his China visit.

The Badaling section of the Great Wall was first built some 500 years ago. China's Great Wall, extending more than 6,700 kilometers in total length, is regarded as one of the wonders of the world. Former US President Bill Clinton visited another section of the Great Wall, known as Mutianyu, when he visited China in 1998.
