INFORMATION

The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders of
the world, was listed as a World Heritage by
UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon,
the Great Wall winds up and down across
deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus,
stretching approximately 8,851.8 kilometers
(5,500 miles) from east to west of China. With a
history of more than 2000 years, some of the
sections are now in ruins or have disappeared.
However, it is still one of the most appealing
attractions all around the world owing to its
architectural grandeur and historical
significance.

3. THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA :HISTORY


Excitement abounds regarding the
vicissitude of the Wall of the Qin, Han,
and Ming Dynasties.
The Great Wall was originally built in
the Spring and Autumn, and Warring
States Periods as a defensive fortification
by the three states: Yan, Zhao and Qin. It
went through constant extensions and
repairs in later dynasties. It began as
independent walls for different states
when it was first built, and did not
become the "Great" wall until the Qin
Dynasty. Emperor Qin Shihuang
succeeded in his effort to have the walls
joined together to fend off the invasions
from the Huns in the north. Since then,
the Wall has served as a monument of
the Chinese nation throughout history.

The mystery of the construction of
the wall is amazing. The
construction, which drew heavily
on the local resources for
construction materials, was
carried out in-line with the local
conditions under the management
of contract and responsibility
system. A great army of
manpower, composed of soldiers,
prisoners and local people, built
the wall. The construction result
demonstrates the wisdom and
tenacity of the Chinese people.
