The Great Wall in China
The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world. People built it in about 770 BC. They did all the work by hand. How amazing! In Chinese, the Great Wall is called “Ten thousand Ii Great Wall”. In fact, it’s more than 6000 kilometres long, 6-7 metres high and 4-5 metres wide. Now it has become a place of interest. We all know the Chinese saying: “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” Today people are trying their best to rebuild the Great Wall and protect it.
