The 16 Best Historical Sites in the World (Updated 2025)

"Conceived originally under Qin Shi Huang and best known for Ming‑era sections built between the 14th and 17th centuries, the Great Wall spans thousands of kilometers and stands as an immense engineering feat—even if it never fully prevented invasions—and I found guided group tours from Beijing useful for round-trip transportation, tickets, and local insights when visiting well-preserved sections." - Matthew Kepnes
