1.I went to Beijing with my family on my vacation.Beijing is a beautiful city,and the people were very friendly,the food was very delicious.First day,We visited the Great Wall.It was very interesting and very big.We were very happy and tired.The second day,we went to the museum.There are a lot of books.But I think that's boring.
2.The Great Wall of China is a Chinese fortification built from the 5th 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,also referred to as the Great Wall of China,were built since the 5th century BC,the most famous being the one built between 220 BC and 200 BC by the first Emperor of China,Qin Shi Huang; this wall was located much further north than the current wall built during the Ming Dynasty,and little of it remains.
The Great Wall of China was originally a project of Qin dynasty designed to keep out the nomadic Xiongnu invaders from the north.Some of the wall was built during the Qin,but most of it that we see today was constructed during the Ming dynasty.
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 .Along most of its arc,it roughly delineates the border between North China and Inner Mongolia.See List of largest buildings in the world
Great Wall is all the Chinese pride!
The dear foreign guests,we stand now in China's Great Wall.It is mounts on the Earth which Moon's astronaut sees one of few in number manual constructions.It is when the qin dynasty completes,has more than 2000 years glorious histories.I must emphasize,in the ancient times any modernization machine situation,has not constructed this Great Wall is extremely difficult.Not only to Chinese people,moreover to the world each place people,the Great Wall all is a scenic spot.China has a famous saying:Not to Great Wall non-real man.The Great Wall is Chinese people's arrogant.Will welcome you next time again to arrive the Great Wall to come.
3.The wall is complemented by defensive fighting stations,to which wall defenders may retreat if overwhelmed.Each tower has unique and restricted stairways and entries to confuse attackers.Barracks and administrative centers are located at larger intervals.In addition to the usual military weapons of the period,specialized wall defense weapons were used.
4.The construction of the wall,drew heavily on the local resources for construction materials,was carried out in line with the local conditions under the management of contract and responsibility system.A great army of manpower,composed of soldiers,prisoners,and local people,built the wall.The construction result demonstrates the manifestation of the wisdom and tenacity of the Chinese people.The wall has long been incorporated into Chinese mythology and popular symbolism.The most beautiful of several legends is about the collapse of a section of the wall caused by Meng Jiangnu,who cried bitterly over the death of her husband in the construction of the wall.This legend has been spread widely through textbooks,folk songs and traditional operas.
