The Great Wall of China is the barrier fortification of the largest scale in ancient China. The wall runs west-to-east 21,196 km, and the construction of it continued over 2000 years. The Great Wall has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is a symbol of Chinese people's wisdom and spirit. Like a giant dragon, the Great Wall crosses mountains, cliffs, steppe, and desert, meandering along the Yellow River and winding through precipices, which is very magnificent.
