The Great Wall of China, begun during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE), is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World but was not one of the ancient seven wonders, even though many people think so. Further, the Great Wall cannot be seen from the moon. The view of the country from the top of the wall is spectacular; as seen in this image.
