Introduction to the Great Wall:

The Great Wall is a treasure of Chinese civilization, one of the world cultural heritages, a building as famous as the Egyptian pyramids, and a miracle of mankind. More than two thousand years ago, it was the working people who built the Great Wall with their own flesh and blood. The Great Wall is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people and a symbol of the Chinese nation.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to defend against invasion by other countries, the princes of various countries built beacon towers and connected them with city walls to form the earliest Great Wall. After that, almost every king in the past dynasties strengthened and repaired the Great Wall. Because it is tens of thousands of miles long, it is also called the "Great Wall".

According to records, Qin Shihuang used nearly one million laborers to build the Great Wall, accounting for one-twentieth of the country's population. There was no machinery at that time, and all labor was done by manpower. The working environment was also very difficult in the high mountains, steep cliffs, and deep ravines. The Great Wall starts from Shanhaiguan in the east, Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west, and Yalu River in the east.

It passes through 10 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities from east to west. The total length of the Great Wall is 88,518,000 meters, of which the length of artificial walls is 6,254,239.662 meters, and the length of trenches and natural formations is 25,942,342.265 meters. The Great Wall was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It has a history of more than 2,000 years and a total length of more than 5.32 million meters. The Great Wall we refer to today mostly refers to the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty. It starts from Jiayuguan in Gansu Province in western China in the west and ends in Liaoning Province in northeastern China in the east. The Yalu River is 6.35 million meters long.

It is like a powerful dragon, crossing mountains, passing through cliffs, passing through grasslands, crossing deserts, rising and falling on the top of mountains, on the other side of the Yellow River and on the coast of the Bohai Sea. At all times and in all countries, everyone who has visited the Great Wall is amazed by its majestic momentum, grand scale and arduous engineering. The Great Wall is a rare treasure and a cultural relic with extraordinary art. It symbolizes the great will and strength of the Chinese nation that is indestructible and will last forever. It is the pride of the Chinese nation and the pride of all mankind.
