It is 21,000 kilometers long. It is spread across 15 provinces, which means that starting from the Jiayuguan Great Wall in Gansu, you can walk to Badaling in Beijing. It's just a pity that since the founding of New China, the motherland has developed by leaps and bounds, so much so that a large number of the Great Wall has been destroyed.
