Unbelievable. I don't know if that's funny or sad. I often wonder how people can live in Beijing for their entire lives and never visit the Great Wall. Or only go to Badaling, which is just about the same as never going.

Probably a matter of priority. My wife have lived in Tangshan for 25 years but never visited the Great Wall before I took her there last year. A lot of people is still very poor so even though they probably would like to go earning money and providing food is still a first priority, so going the the Great Wall is not an option.
I will bring my parents-in-law to the Great Wall later this year - their first time.
Probably the same in many countries all over the world. At least in Denmark most people choose to travel outside the country even though we have a lot of interesting places to visit.
