The Wall is over 8,500 km long, and goes from the east to the west of China. The first parts
were built over 2,000 years ago by the Ming Emperors, in order to protect the central regions
of the country from being attacked. All along the Wall special buildings called beacon towers
were constructed. When some parts of China were attacked by enemies, fires were lit in them
so that people on other towers could see them and send warnings to the army.

Nowadays some of the sections are in ruins, but other parts have been repaired. The most
famous section is called Badaling. It is near Beijing, so it is convenient and there is a cable car
to transport visitors, but bear in mind that it is often full of tourists. It is safe to walk at
