The Great Wall

       In the world, each country has a famous site, and this site has many interesting history. In my country, I would like introduce a famous site, the Great Wall, which is an old site. There two parts to introduce the Great Wall that is general situation and its history.

       First of all, I would like to introduce the general situation of the Great Wall. The Great Wall is from Shanhaiguan to Jiayuguan, and its total length is 8851.8 kilometers, and it is from east to west through 10 provinces. The Great Wall was built by the Qin Dynasty, and it was used to resist enemies who came from the north in the old China. The Great Wall is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient Chinese people, but also the symbol of the Chinese nation, and I am proud with it.

       Second, the Great Wall has a longer history. In the B.C. 220, Qin Shi Huang unifies the old China, and he ordered people to build the Great Wall that resisted their enemies who came from the north. After that year, many dynasties also fixed the Great Wall, but these engineering were not large, until the Ming Dynasty, emperor ordered people fixed it again. Therefore, today we see the Great Wall that is built Ming Dynasty.

       In short, I am proud that there is the Great Wall in China, and it is one of the world cultural heritage, but also with the pyramids of Egypt eponymous building, or the wonders of mankind. I hope the people of the world come to China and visit the Great Wall.
