Photos by Michael Yamashita yamshitaphoto | While watching the 2022 Winter Olympics coverage, I couldn’t help but notice the snowboarding competitors flying through the air over a replica of China's Great Wall. Less than an hour's drive outside the confines of Beijing's Olympic Village lie sections of the real wall, China’s most iconic and visited landmark. Even an Olympic torch relay made a stop there, with martial artist and movie star Jackie Chan leading the way. Strict COVID protocols will mean athletes and attendees must wait until the games end before making their obligatory tourist visit. #greatwall
