I thought the same thing, until I realised the Great Wall is 6,700kms long.
However with that being said, a relatively healthy person could probably average roughly 35kms a day (8 hours of walking). Therefore it would take about 191 days – just over 6 months.
I’ve thought about perhaps doing it in sections (although that wouldn’t be the same – would it?) if you could do it for a month per year you could do the walk in about 6 – 7 years.
It’s a mind boggling concept, but then people would’ve travelled that way for many years before modern transportation.
Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but if I ever had the chance, sure I’d go for it!
