I've never been to China, much less see the Great Wall.
文章イメージ:前節に大きな話、後節に小さな話

The Great Wall of China is a big tourist attraction and historical feature.

feature

 noun/ˈfiːtʃə(r)/ˈfiːtʃər/[countable] something important, interesting or typical of a place or thing

What's the expression that we can substitute in this situation? We could say... 
There are some exceptions.
I'm aware of this expression all the time around me.



7 days trekking with my son was really nice, not to mention mountain views.

not to mention 肯定文でも使える
