Great Wall Of China by carolman(f): 11:39am On Jul 11, 2012 |
Learn everything about Great Wall of China at one place. The Glorious History, Travel Guide, Interesting Facts, Awesome Pictures, Latest News, Quiz and much more. The Great Wall is one of the largest building construction projects ever completed. It stretches across the mountains of northern China, winding north and northwest of Beijing. It is constructed of masonry, rocks and packed-earth. It was over 5,000 km (=10,000 Li) long. Its thickness ranged from about 4.5 to 9 meters (15 to 30 feet) and was up to 7.5 meters (25 feet) tall. The wall was originally built of stone, wood, grass and earth. In the Ming Dynasty bricks were produced in kilns set up along the wall. The bricks were transported by men carrying them on their backs, donkeys, mules and even goats had a brick tied to their head before being driven up a mountain. |

Sadly, after climbing all the way to the top, for close to an hour, the only thing to do after taking that popular photo, is to go back down. Lol |
