Walking on and Beyond the Great Wall (English Edition): A Time-Traveling Wolf’s Painted Journey Through History

Walking on and Beyond the Great Wall (English Edition): A Time-Traveling Wolf’s Painted Journey Through History

Over 80 Paintings Bring the Wall to Life — Follow a Cartoon Steppe Wolf from Shanhaiguan to Jiayuguan, Discovering Watchtowers, Legends and Untold Stories for Young Readers
This is not a standard travel guide, and it is not a dry history textbook. It is a painted journey across the Great Wall, led by a cartoon steppe wolf who has traveled through time to be your guide. Over eighty paintings by the artist Wu Yang carry you from the eastern pass at Shanhaiguan to the western gate at Jiayuguan, pausing at famous towers and fortresses to explain how the wall was built, how it was defended, and what it meant to the people on both sides of it. Along the way, you hear the stories that have grown up around the wall—some heroic, some tragic, and some that blur the line between history and legend. The wolf speaks in the first person, so the journey feels like a personal tour rather than a lecture. If you want to see the Great Wall through a guide who has watched it change for centuries—rather than read a conventional guidebook or a dense historical survey—this is it.
