With a long history, The Great Wall of China was constructed over 2,000 years ago and is regarded as an important signal of China. It is one of the largest building construction projects ever completed.
The Great Wall can be easily seen from the moon according to the astronauts. Starting from Shanhaiguan in the east and ending at Jiayuguan in the west, it zigzags its way along the rolling mountains, just like a gigantic dragon. In China, the wall is called as "Wan-Li Chang-Cheng" which means 10,000-Li Long Wall. Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders of the world. It is also seldom to see such gigantic project in China or elsewhere around the world.
Today the Great Wall still presents as a great mystery to the people all over the world. Though it has already lost its original strategic meaning, it remains as an appealing tourist attraction owing to its cultural and historical value. The famous Great Wall includes Badaling Great Wall, Jinshanling Great Wall, Mutianyu Great Wall, and Shanhaiguan Pass of the Great Wall. |
