The shape of the Great Wall?

The Great Wall is linear. It is not just a single wall, but a complete defense engineering system, which consists of various fortifications, such as city walls, watchtowers, Guancheng, Dunbao, Yingcheng, Wei Shuo and town beacon towers.

The Great Wall is an ancient defense project with the longest construction time and the largest engineering quantity in China and even in the world. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has been built continuously for more than 2,000 years, distributed in the vast land in northern and central China, with a total length of more than 50,000 kilometers.
