The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is so large that the men who landed on the moon could see it clearly．It is the longest wall in the world．
It begins at Shanhaiguan on the Yellow Sea and ends at Chaiyukan in the Gobi Desert．It is almost three thousand kilometers long．It is not only a wall, it has many thousands of towers．
Most of the wall is made of stones．In some places, however, it is made only of dirt．
The Chinese people started building walls as early as 600 BC to keep out their enemies．However, it was the first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang-ti, who started the Great Wall in about 214 BC．We get the word“China”from his name．
Chinese workers built some of the Great Wall while Qin Shihuang-ti was emperor, but most of it was built much later, between 202 BC and 220 AD, and between 581 AD and 618 AD．After this time, no more work was done on the wall for hundreds of years, and much of it became broken．Then in the 15th century, the first of the Ming emperors started building another wall near the first one．This was to keep out the Mongols．It is this wall that thousands of tourists visit every day．
