The Great wall of China

(Icon from my country)

Have you ever been to the Great Wall of China? If not, I suggest you go to visit it, you would see one of the most amazing constructions in the world.

The Great Wall looks like a barricade which is stretching across the mountains of northern China, winding north and northwest of Beijing. It is built from masonry, rocks and packed-earth.

The great wall has more than 2000 years’ history. It was constructed to fend off the enemy and protect the country and the residents.

Since then, the Great Wall has become an important monument. Today people like to visit it because they believe in a Chinese saying “never been to the great wall, never will be a hero”.
