Great Wall of China

The history of Great wall of China goes back to the 5th century BC. It was built between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire. The Great wall of China is the worlds longest building structure approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles). The Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

The Great wall of China is the world's longest human-made structure, stretching over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles) from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia, but stretches to over 6,700 km (4,160 miles) in total. It is also the largest human-made structure ever built in terms of surface area and mass.[citation needed] At its peak, the Ming Wall was guarded by more than one million men. Great wall of China has been estimated that somewhere in the range of 2 to 3 million Chinese died as part of the centuries-long project of building the wall.
