At a chosen location. Performance. We walked the entire length of the Great Wall of China; started on 30 March 1988. I started walking at the eastern end of the Wall, at Shaun Hai Gaun, on the shores of the Yellow Sea, Gulf of Bohai, walking westward. Ulay started walking at the western end of the Wall, at Jai Yu Guan, the southwestern periphery of the Gobi Desert, walking eastward. We walked until we met. After we both continuously walked for 90 days, we met at Er Lang Shan, In Shen Mu, Shaanxi province.
