Great Wall of China a Chinese fortification built from the 3rd century BC until the beginning of the 17th century, in order to protect the various dynasties from raids by Hunnic, Mongol, Turkic, and other nomadic tribes coming from areas in modern-day Mongolia and Manchuria. Several walls were built since the 3rd century BC, the most famous being the Great Wall of China built between 220 BC and 200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang (this was located much further north than the current Great Wall of China built during the Ming Dynasty, and little of it remains).
The Great Wall is the world's longest man-made structure, stretching over a formidable 6,352 km (3,948 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Sea in the east, at the limit between "China proper" and Manchuria (Northeast China), to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

It's more than 2,000 years old. The Great Wall of China remains one of the great wonders of the world, an engineering feat rarely matched in the 22 centuries since its construction began.
Stretches 4,500 miles, from the mountains of Korea to the Gobi Desert, it was first built to protect an ancient Chinese empire from marauding tribes from the north. Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over 1,000 years.
A first set of walls, designed to keep Mongol nomads out of China, were built of earth and stones in wood frames during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE).
NASA says, "The Great Wall can barely be seen from the Shuttle, so it would not be possible to see it from the Moon with the naked eye." Thus, it'd be tough to spot the Great Wall of China or any other object from the moon. Furthermore, from the moon, even the continents are barely visible.

Oh my god, no one's going to give you a full report on the great wall of china here...you have to get yourself out of the house and into the library and actually read some books about it...
I'll help you get started...the great wall of China is really tall, really long, and it was built a long time ago...

It is a very unique and beautiful place to visit and experience it your self. To reach the top of The Great Wall, u need to walk up 45 degree steep in order to reach the top and u given a certificate. In China, there is a pharse said : "Bu tao chiang chen, bu si hao han, dao le chiang chen hern yi han."
