We can see walls everywhere in the world. But the Great Wall of China is the

biggest of all. The Chinese call it "The Ten-thousand-Li Great Wall". It is in fact

more than 6,000 kilometres long. It is 4-5 metres wide. In most places, five horses or

ten men can walk side by side.

When you visit the Great Wall, you can't help wondering how the Chinese

The Great Wall has a history of over two thousand years. The kings began to build the first parts of it around two thousand seven hundred years ago. Then Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. He thought that could keep the enemy out of the country.
