Why is the Great Wall of China so hard to find on Google Earth (or Google Maps)?

The Great Wall of China is not actually difficult to find on Google Earth or Google Maps. It is clearly visible on both platforms when you zoom in on the appropriate area.

One reason you may have difficulty finding the Great Wall on these platforms is if you are not zoomed in far enough. The Great Wall is a very long and thin structure, so it may not be immediately visible if you are not zoomed in close enough.

Another reason you may have difficulty finding the Great Wall is if you are not searching in the right location. The Great Wall stretches over 4,000 miles (6,437 kilometers) across northern China, so you will need to zoom in on a specific section of the wall to see it.

If you are still having trouble finding the Great Wall on Google Earth or Google Maps, you may want to try searching for specific landmarks or points of interest along the wall, such as the Badaling section of the Juyongguan Pass. These locations are easier to find and will allow you to explore different sections of the wall in more detail.
