    Does anyone know the intro music straight at the beginning? I know it was used in another documentary from Japan.

    You cannot see the wall from the moon with the unaided eye

    As a former , frequent traveler to China this documentary gave some great insights especially architecture
  • It is impossible to see the the great wall of China from the moon. Such a basic myth stated as fact.(15.30)

    I agree but to an extent there has been a lot of darker things throughout their history. Some worse than others. In such a vast land as that.

    As far back as the times of Lao-tzu and Confucius Chinese already have an idiom saying "Man can overcome divine plans". Taoism is Chinese "ancient science" which is based on careful observations, studies and experimentation in absence of the tools and equipments we have today. Like the early ancient Greeks, they also believe that "men or women who great contribution to the people and society will become. gods"

    I don't know what is wrong with all y'all's eyes, I can see the Great Wall no problem up here on the moon.

    Even this documentary is already ancient and old. China is different today with shining cities, technology, and AI from the ancient mystery.
