The Great Wall of China

In December 1987, the Great Wall was included in the “World Heritage List.”

The Great Wall of China is the greatest architectural project in the history of human civilization. It was built more than 2,000 years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, it became the Great Wall. The Han and Ming dynasties were built on a large scale. Its vast engineering and majestic momentum can be called a world miracle. As time goes by, things are right and wrong. Now when you board the ruins of the Great Wall, you can not only witness the majestic majesty of the Great Wall, but also appreciate the great wisdom and courage of the Chinese nation to create history.

The Great Wall is located in northern China, starting from Shanhaiguan in the east and reaching Jiayuguan in the west. The total length is about 6,700 kilometers. It is commonly known as the Great Wall of China. The construction of the Great Wall lasted more than two thousand years. According to historical records, from the construction of the “Fang City” by the Chu Kingdom in the seventh century BC, to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), more than 20 vassals and feudal dynasties built the Great Wall. The length of the Great Wall in the three dynasties of Qin, Han, and Ming exceeded 5,000 kilometers. If the Great Wall built in various eras is added together, the total length exceeds 50,000 kilometers; if the masonry and earthwork of the Great Wall are built to build a large wall 1 meter thick and 5 meters high, this wall can surround the earth for more than a week.

The main project of the Great Wall is the tall city wall that stretches for thousands of miles. Most of them are built at the highest point of the mountain. The winding and endless mountains are outlined along the ridge to form a clear outline, creating a leaping and magnificent dragon, thus becoming the Chinese nation symbol. On the walls of Wanli, there are hundreds of hurdles and passes, thousands of enemy towers and beacon towers, breaking the monotony of the city walls, making the high and low terrain more majestic and dangerous, full of great artistic charm.
