The
Great Wall of China
The
Great Wall of China
is a series of stone and earthen
fortifications
in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the
Chinese Empire
against intrusions by various nomadic groups. Several walls have been built since the 5th century BC that are referred to collectively as the Great Wall, which has been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century BC through the 16th century. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first
Emperor of China
,
Qin Shi Huang
. Little of that wall remains; the majority of the existing wall was built during the
Ming Dynasty
.
The Great Wall stretches from
Shanhaiguan
in the east, to
Lop Lake
in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of
Inner Mongolia
. The most comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the entire Great Wall, with all of its branches, stretches for 8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi). This is made up of 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) sections of actual wall, 359.7 km (223.5 mi) of trenches and 2,232.5 km (1,387.2 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers
