strength and his cleverness . There are many gorgeous wonders around the world such
as the Pyramids of Giza , the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China. In this topic
I will talk about the Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest wonders in the world. It was added in the world heritage by UNESCO in 1987. It was built over 2000 years ago by Qin Shi Huangdi. The emperor built the wall for territory and power as so as to protect their states and people. In 221 BC, after Emperor Qin shihuang defeated the other six states and unified china. He decided to link up all the separate high walls built by his
rivals , especially the walls in the northern part of china witch built by Qin Zhao and
Yan.

The Great Wall is built of masonry , rocks and packed-earth and it is about the
same color as the soil surrounding it. It is long 6700km , thickness ranged from about
4.5 to 9 meters and was up to 7.5 meters tall.

All in all I think you should visit this amazing wonder and walk inside it to see how
the human been is strong and clever.
