文档介绍：The Great Wall
The Great Wall was a gigantic defensive project used in ancient times as early as in the 7th century . For self-protection, subsequent dynasties continued to strengthen and extend the wall. Over a history of more than 2000 years, The Great Wall presently extends (5,500 miles) from its origin, at the seaside in Shanhaiguan (the Old Dragon Head), a seaport along the coast of Bohai Bay in the east, all the way to Jiayu Pass in Gansu Province. Some of the Great Wall sections (Badaling, Mutianyu) have been restored and opened to tourists while some are now still in ruins (Jiankou, Simatai), partially open to public. There is a saying that “He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a real man”. Visiting the Great Wall of China is a dream of travelers from all over the world.
