The Great
Wall
A symbol of ancient Chinese
civilization, the Great Wall has stood for more
than 2,000 years. The wall was built in stages
from the 5th century BC up to the 16th century
AD as protection against northern nomadic tribes.
Stretching from the coast of the Bohai Bay in
the east and ending at the Jiayu Pass in the west,
it snakes along the back of mountains, deserts
and valleys for 6,350km (3,900 miles). Built of
huge granite slabs and special sized bricks, the
Great Wall at Badaling 75km (47 miles) north of
Beijing is most typical of the Wall during the
Ming dynasty (1368-1644). There the wall is wide
enough for five horsemen to ride abreast or 10
men to walk side by side. |
