The great wall
The Wall we see today is but one tenth of the total length of the walls ever constructed over succeeding dynasties of China. The best preserved sections refer to the wall built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west.
Approximately 5,130 km (3,188 miles) in length, the Ming Wall was built under the most difficult conditions, across some of the most dangerous terrains, but with the most popular tourist attractions as well. Traditionally known to the Chinese as the "Long Wall of Ten Thousand Li", the massive structure takes advantage of the natural terrain for defensive purposes following the highest points and elinging to ridges. Like a majestic dragon, these fortifications offer truly breathtaking views, enhanced by its mountain passes, castle gates, and thousands of watch towers and signal beacons along the wall.
