STORY: China From Above: The sea of cloud floating over the Great Wall in Hebei
The ancient Great Wall, located in north China's Hebei Province, is surrounded by towering mountains and clouds. Like a giant dragon, the Great Wall looms between the sea of clouds and the mountain tops, creating a magnificent sight.
This section of the Great Wall was built on a steep volcanic ridge, with complete military defense facilities.
