The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is one of the seven wonders of the world. It is a border between Mount Hu near Dandong to Jiayu Pass west of Jiuquan. It was built in 221 B.C. and said that it was built by millions of Chinese workers. The Great Wall of China represents Chinese culture and history.

It is one of the largest defense projects and one of the most impressive architectural features in human history. The Chinese built it to protect them from the northern nomadic tribes. The nomads’ tribe was stronger than the Han Chinese infantry. But, after the Wall was built, the nomadic tribes could no longer raid and intrude into northern China. The wall also protected China’s economic development and cultural progress by safeguarding trading routes such as the Silk Road and securing the transmission of information and transportation in northern China.

The Great Wall represents the unification of China because it was linked together for the first time in the Qin Dynasty. The wall represented the awesome ability of the Chinese to work together for the good of the country.

It is one of the people's greatest cultural icons. Over 10 million people visit the place every year. It is China's national symbol as a manifestation of Chinese strength and a psychological representation of the barrier maintained by the Chinese state to repel foreign influences and exert control over its citizens.

The Great Wall of China seems like an amazing place to visit and I'd love to learn more about it there. The wall has so much history and legends about the people who made it. It reflects a lot on how the Chinese wanted to be the best in everything they do. I hope one day I can travel to China to see and experience its magnificence.
