Eight travellers will be given an opportunity to spend the night on top of the Great Wall of China next month! Yes, at one of the wonders of the world spread 13,000-mile-long! The temporary accommodation will be on the top of a watchtower from where you can get a 360-degree view of the surrounding area.
