Description
The Great Wall of China, one of the World Heritage Sites, is a symbol of China's brilliant military defence engineering in ancient times. Dating back to the 7th century BC, it was constructed and extended by a number of warring states and dynasties, most notably during the Ming Dynasty when it was reinforced and expanded. The Great Wall meanders over 21,000 kilometres across China's northern border, stretching from Shanhai Pass on the East China Sea to Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu. The Great Wall is not only an important barrier for military defence, but also a huge transport and communication route. The Great Wall has become a valuable treasure of China and even the world for its magnificent scale, superb construction techniques and far-reaching historical significance.
