There was such an author, journalist, a Polish one, his name was Kapuscinski. 
His books were translateted all over the world and he got many prestigious 
awards. He was writing about his travels through the world. You may easy find 
his books in English in public libraries. 

One of his first travels was to China. He could not understand the idea of the 
wall. But, it seems, as he pointed out, that this idea is heavily rooted into 
the Chinese culture.
