The Great Wall

The Great Wall in north China stretches from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the west traversing provinces of Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shanxi and Gansu and is 6,700 kilometers long, hence the name "Wan Li Chang Cheng" or "the long wall of 10,000 li". It has been listed in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1987.
During the Qin, Han and Ming dynasties there was considerable construction with more than 5,000 kilometers built. If all the sections built in various historical periods were put together, the Great Wall would be more than 50,000 kilometers (10,000 li) long. If building a wall which is one meter thick and five meters high with the earth and stones of the Great Wall, the wall can circle the earth. Much of the Great Wall is like a high city wall stretching thousands of kilometers following and crossing the highest mountain peaks. Along its length there are some 100 passes and tens of thousands of watch and beacon towers. These structures and the undulating topography that the wall traverses add to its wonder. The section in Beijing's Badaling is strong and intact and is a good place to enjoy.
