The Great Wall of China is the most
famous structure in the People's Republic of China. These castle wall
ruins are designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO. The structure
began with the building of fortifications by each state during the
Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period (around the 7th
century BC) to defend against intrusion by foreign enemies and other
ethnic groups. When Qin Shi Huang unified China, he had a wall built to
connect each fortification in the North and extended it to the West.
Time passed, and during the Ming dynasty (the 17th century), the wall
was repeatedly reinforced and repaired using advanced design technology.
The wall is said to have extended from the Shanhai pass in the East to
the Jiayu pass in the West, with a total length of 8,851.8 km. Most of
the wall that remains today was built during this era.
