Question Where is this Great Wall located?

Sometimes we come across interesting Great Wall photos and cannot identify their location. Hopefully someone can identify them.

Here is the first one:

The Great Wall of China

This wall looks "Photoshopped" to me. The foreground, the Great Wall, and the background could all be different layers composited from different images.

But even the location of the "unphotoshopped" version would be _very_ interesting.

Thanks, Bryan! Just found some more Great Wall on GE

There's a distinct tower of some kind in the background. My first idea was that it should be somewhere near Zibo in Shandong province - and it was.

The tower is located here: 36°28'53.34"N 117°50'19.88"E

Here's some more pictures of the wall in that area:

Looks like another Badaling

The picture seems to be from the west side of the tower.

Great job, Kim!

But don't thank me; thank Lingyu. She found it here first.

Doesn´t have to be photoshoped. Flat look of the picture is made by using telephoto lens.
