Who: Cari and Jerry Potter of Carbondale
Out and about: This spectacular architectural achievement stretches across ridges, mountain passes and deserts to a length of about 4,100 miles. It was started in the seventh century B.C., and Emperor Qin linked existing sections and added to them in 220 B.C.
Travel tip: The tours in China involve a fair amount of walking and stair-climbing, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. We found the Chinese people very open and friendly to Westerners. Numerous vendors offer good-quality books and postcards at reasonable prices, and U.S. money is accepted readily.
