The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. It is the longest wall in the world, stretching over 13,000 miles. The wall was originally built in the 7th century BC, but most of the current structure was built during the Ming dynasty.

Purpose of the Great Wall

The Great Wall was built to protect China from invading armies. The wall was not continuous, but rather a series of walls and fortifications. The wall was built using a variety of materials, including brick, tamped earth, and stone. The Great Wall was made with guard towers, beacon towers, and barracks. The wall is an impressive feat of engineering, and has been recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World.

The Great Wall Today

The Great Wall is not a single wall, but rather a network of walls and fortifications. The wall was built to protect China from invading armies, and was not always successful. The wall was breached by several different armies, including the Mongols and the Manchus. Despite this, the Great Wall remains an important symbol of Chinese history and culture. Today, visitors can walk along sections of the wall, and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
