About “The great wall of China”

The Great Wall of China is a 1,500-mile-long structure that stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Gobi Desert. It is one of the most famous manmade structures on Earth, visible from space. Built over 2,000 years ago, it was originally constructed to protect the ancient empire from outside threats. Today, it stands as a symbol of modern China and draws many tourists. A book about the Great Wall includes 165 images and explores its lasting fascination and Chinese culture over two millennia.
