Its construction began at 7th or 8th centuriesBC,and continued now and then for over 2 000years.
The wall stretches across the vast area ofnorth and central China,with a total length ofmorethan
50 000km (100000 li),reputed as “Enlivenedfor 2 000 years andManeuvering for 100 000 li”.
Historical records show that since the Warring States Period,more than 20 lord states andimperial
dynasties launched construction of defense walls,and the length would exceed 100000 li (50 000 km),
In other words, the bricks,stones,and earth are excessive for a modemhighway of 10 m wide and 0.5 m
thick to go around the planetfor 10 circles. That is amazinglygreat indeed,well worth its fame as one of
the seven wonders in human history.
The Great Wall boasts serene scenery and historical value. Much of the Great Wall we seetoday was
constructed in Ming Dynasty. After careful renovation, representativesections,such as Shanhai Pass,Ju
yong Pass,Badaling Section, Simatai Section, Mutianyu Section,Jiayu Pass, Gubeikou Pass and Jin shan ling Section,has already become the world renowned tourist attractions. Among them,Badaling Section,
