The Great Wall is one of the most popular places for expats. It stretches across half of China's territory and is famous for its incredible length and steepness. Nowadays, the Great Wall is not only the irreplaceable Chinese cultural heritage, but also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

The scenery on the tower is magnificent with huge mountains undulating and overlapping. Here you can not only see the natural beauty of China, but also feel the creation and intelligence of the Chinese working people.

You can always meet many friendly expat tourists on the Great Wall. They like to take pictures on the Great Wall wearing traditional Chinese clothes. It’s always a lot of fun to see them pose in a naughty posture, or practice Chinese Tai Chi, or imitate Chinese traditional wedding customs.

Even the supper star Tom Hiddleston came to visit here. What are you waiting for?

Hangzhou, where our Lopair headquarters is located, is an ancient water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It has the prettiest legend tells the story of a white snake became a beautiful lady and fell in love with a gentleman in order to repay his life-saving favor. The place that they met each other was exactly on the beautiful West Lake where you have to come for a visit if you go to Hangzhou.
