CHINA - LAND OF SILK AND DRAGONS
Great Wall of China
-
Construction of and expansion of the what is now known as the Great Wall had occurred as early as the 7th Century BCE, but what is now the Great Wall was expanded and recognized by the Chinese themselves from the 3rd Century BCE up to the 17th Century CE
-
The wall stretches over 13,000 miles, when all of its various branches are totaled, with the Ming Dynasty branch being over 5,000 miles alone
-
The Great Wall begins in the east at Shanhaiguan in Hebei province and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu province to the west
-
The wall from its earliest foundations was meant to serve as a barrier against invasions, raids, and interaction with the steppe tribes to the north of the Chinese nation
-
Materials ranging from local stone and bricks to packed dirt were used to construct the wall
-
Built to follow a natural path through the terrain whilst also making sure to place it at strategic geographic points replica watches uk
-
The wall was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 CE
