WelcomeMy name is Abigail Maguire and I will give you students important information about The Great Wall of China. The Great Wall of China was a very important part of Ancient China's Civilization and hopefully by reading this website you will be able to become part of The Great Wall spirit.IntroductionThe Great Wall was built in the east at Shanhaiguan in Hebei province and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu province to the west. The Great Wall was built in a mountainous area and almost resembles a giant serpent winding its way through the mountains. The Great Wall is furthermore known as 'Long Wall of Ten Thousand Li' by the Chinese. The Great Wall is the largest fortification in the world and consists of a number of walls joined together to form a winding wall that is 21,196.18 km long. Yet, The Great Wall was just a physiological barrier for Emperors to keep out other civilizations from influencing their society. Furthermore The Great Wall never actually kept out any invaders and more peace then war happened underneath The Great Wall.
