Part of the wall was built in the mid-6th century to begin with. Many people have their reasons for visiting it the beauty, the thought to be right next to something that is really old, and the history of it. You can compare this to why people like visiting the St. Louis Arch or the Statue of Liberty its the same reasons almost.

Contrary to popular belief, you can NOT see the Great Wall from space. The wall is just over 9 meters wide (approximately 30 feet). The color of the wall is almost similar to the mountain it is built on. While you may see it from low earth orbit (around 160km or 100 miles) it would be tiny and the conditions must be perfect.
