Great wall

#chinatrip The Great Wall of China, an iconic symbol of China's historical strength and resilience, stretches over 13,000 miles. Constructed primarily between the 7th century BC and the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), it was built to protect against invasions from northern tribes. The wall traverses diverse terrains, including mountains, deserts, and plains, and incorporates watchtowers, barracks, and fortresses. Its most famous sections, such as those near Beijing, are renowned for their impressive preservation and panoramic views. Today, the Great Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a testament to China's architectural ingenuity and cultural heritage.
