Trekking the Great Wall - China Documentary
Ойын-сауық
Exploring the great Wall of China has become the lifetime obsession of British historian William Lindesay. In this 50-minute special, Lindesay travels from one end of China to another to show us how and why the Wall was built, how its construction differs according to region-and how it is really many walls built by different dynasties, and not one single Wall.

What a humble, calm and positive person you are, dedicated to your dreams and goals.
Still to this day I'm not able to fully comprehend how gigantic of project that is. I dont think the world will see anything quite like this in the future when it comes to its sheer size and scale. Truly remarkable.
This documentary has made me feel horribly homesick for China, even though I had immigrated to the US at 4 (I'm 37). I have to admit to feeling a little jealous of Mr. Lindesay for getting to make it his permanent home.

Same here. I grew up in SF and still work and live in the city. 5 decades now. America is not the same America I grew up. Was great then. Not anymore.
great admiration for your true dedication of discovering journey into these long dragons of China.
For long time I have not seen such a great documentary. Well Done for Mr. Lindsey and his filmmaker friends.

The section of the wall I've visited was in the area that has been rebuilt about 30 miles outside Beijing. Climbing the wall is a lot more of an athletic event than one would imagine and the irregularity of the steps and the angle of climb can make you glad for the handrails. There was a monument commemorating the building of the wall that included the workers who built it. Xie Xie!
Amazing video,I love every minute of it❤️Thank you.
Thanks, William. I've watched this documentary twice and am particularly touched by how you were completely immersed with the people by the Great Wall.
This chanel is worth to follow...

Very interesting to see, besides the wall, a little of the regular small town folk. Really enjoyable. Couldn't believe you didn't say what you got to eat, at that market!
Been to Beijing 6x; never been to the Great Wall Now I know I can visit the Great Wall elsewhere. Thank you!

Probably a better idea, as visiting the popular Badaling section would mean throngs of tourists.

Thanks for watching!
That was brilliant.
Thank you for an exceedingly interesting program. I remember reading a book about the Great Chinese walls about 15 years ago that made the point that it is composed of many different walls built by different rulers.
Very informative and at the same time humorous!
Seeing this docu. Reminded me of how hardworking ancient Chinese are! Then you can tell this present china how progressive they are now
Great video

You watch the documentary of his sons 2 brother running across Great Wall of China. Or you can read books writing by William Lindesey.

@23.14. He should explain the Chinese character for country/ nation is a word surrounded by a compound. Look it up.

The Chinese word for country shows a group of people with arms and a boundary(not a compound)
THANKS. MR. WILLIAM LINDESAY OF UK. FOR EXPLORING N TELLING THE STORY OF THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA. I M WILLIAM GARCIA, A FILIPINO WITH CHINESE FATHER N FILIPINA MOTHER. I M PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO BUT M EQUALLY PROUD OF MY CHINESE HERITAGE AS SYMBOLIZED BY THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA. IT IS IN FACT MENTIONED IN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
Hear in àmarica ive seen few china style building and they all have walls around intresting to know

If it was standard practice for non-skilled wall builder's to erect a plaque to commemorate their families contribution, wouldn't you expect to find these all over the place? It's a bit suss if it's the only one they have.

When he was young, he was a thrill seeking man and China was on his bucket list. He made a name for himself trekking the Great Wall alone and was credited for raising conservation awareness of the historic monument.
Fyi, he’s not an archeologist and his Chinese is poor. So not particularly an authority on the subject.
