This is a great view Michelle Obama and her daughters will surely never forget.

The first lady shared a snapshot with her girls Malia Obama and Sasha Obama visiting the Great Wall of China on Sunday.

"Sharing a moment at the Great Wall #FLOTUSinChina," President Barack Obama's wife tweeted along with the picturesque photograph.

The photograph features the grinning trio sharing a sweet embrace against the beautiful backdrop.

The 50-year-old, clad in a stylish black ensemble, detailed the experience of traveling to "one of the great marvels of human history" on her White House blog.

"To get to the Wall, we rode a cable car up a mountain (and we later rode back down on a long slide!)," she explained. "The section we visited is one of the more popular parts of the Wall for tourists, and it's easy to see why," she described about Towers 14 to 15.

"Throughout its history, the Great Wall has gone through decades, even centuries, of ruin and disrepair," she continued about the iconic tourist destination in Mutianyu. "But it has always served as not only a physical barrier, but a psychological one to intimidate potential invaders."

Obama was also presented with a "I climbed the Great Wall of China" certificate.
