There is an old Chinese saying, "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man." On Monday, despite feeling tired from competition, some members of the US men's basketball team took the chance to visit China's most famous attraction, the Great Wall.

On Monday, despite feeling tired from competition, some members of the US men's basketball team took the chance to visit China's most famous attraction, the Great Wall.

It's not exactly a sight seeing vacation for the Olympic athletes, but a few members of the US men's basketball team couldn't pass up a chance to see China's number one attraction---the Great Wall.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski, Forward Chris Bosh and their families were among the visitors. They were amazed by the Great Wall.

In their first game against China, Chris Bosh used a lot of energy to contain Chinese star Yao Ming. Despite still feeling tired, he said it was worthwhile to climb the steep steps of the wall early in the morning. The men shot a perfect four of four from the field in the closing minutes of their win over China.
