FEMALE TOURIST SERIOUSLY HURT AFTER FALLING FROM GREAT WALL OF CHINA

A woman who was visiting the Great Wall of China fell more than 33ft after losing her footing.

The woman, who has not been named, fell around 10 metres (33 feet) on the Jiankou section of the Ming Great Wall, one of the most visible parts of the entire Great Wall of China.
