For many years it was thought that China´s Great Wall was the only man-made construction that could be seen from the moon. In 1994, it was proven that this was not the case. However, a veil of mysticism persists over this millenary culture. Perhaps someday China could seem an exotic, unknown destination, perhaps due to its enormous territorial extension and immense population, which could turn it into a sort of continent. Distant China is not so far today. Increasingly, the country opens its doors to people from all over the world interested in discovering with their own eyes the enormous wealth of its art, history and culture.
Rather than the mystical environment of the landscape, China´s Great Wall seduces due to the hundreds of humans that every day meet there with the pretext of getting into the history of one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. It is not only the largest engineering work on the planet, but a true symbol for its national culture.
To understand Chinese culture, it is necessary to understand the multiplicity of expressions, practices, beliefs, customs and traditions that are spread over a wide geographical region. Art and music, philosophy and religion are part of a cultural fabric that also dialogues with the world, leaving behind any trace of estrangement.
