Part 2/8:
William Lindesay’s fascination with the Great Wall began when he first walked its expanse in 1987, fulfilling a childhood dream. Over the years, he traversed thousands of kilometers along the complex network of walls built by various dynasties over more than 2,000 years. Lindesay's journey is motivated by a desire to uncover the truths hidden within one of the most recognizable yet least understood monuments in the world.
Lindesay emphasizes that the Great Wall is not a singular entity but rather a collection of walls, built at different times and places throughout northern China. This intricate web of fortifications served to protect various dynasties, and Lindesay's continuous exploration allows him to witness the myriad changes and conditions of this monumental architecture.
