See image here http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/radar/sircxsar/sc-gwall.gif,

http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/files//images/hi-res/p45924.tif



These radar images show two segments of the Great Wall of China in a desert region of north-central China, about 700 kilometers (434 miles) west of Beijing. The wall appears as a thin orange band, running from the top to the bottom of the left image, and from the middle upper-left to the lower-right of the right image.
