Walk
on the Great Wall of China
The Great Wall stretches for 4,160 miles across North China. It is the only
man-made structure that can be seen from the moon with the naked eye. Its
construction started as far back as the Spring and Autumn period (770-476
B.c.) and the Warring States period (475-221 B.C.). Rival feudal kingdoms
built walls around their territories to keep out invading nomadic tribes
from the north. When Qin Shihuang unified China, he started to link up and
extend these walls. |
