China's Great Wall is well known. It has been reported, falsely, to be visible from space; no lunar astronaut has ever claimed seeing the Great Wall from the moon. Apparently three million people died building it and over a million soldiers guardedly it.
This summer China hosts the Olympics. They have once again shown their command of architecture with the commissioning of a number of buildings for the event. The New Yorker features a portfolio of photography of the National Stadium and the National Aquatics Center.
