 The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall is a tourist spot that has become the main icon of this bamboo curtain
country. While on vacation to China, you must visit this tourist spot. The Great Wall
of China is a symbol of PRC greatness. This giant wall was built along the winding
mountains. Its length, which reaches 10,000 kilometers, makes the Great Wall
clearly visible from the moon. The Great Wall of China has been built since the 7th
century BC during the Zhoi Dynasty. Formerly built to hold off invaders from the
Xiongnu Tribe in the north. Previously these walls were made separately, it wasn't
until 221 BC when the Qin State unified China that the great walls were unified.

Apart from visiting the Great Wall of China for a historical tour, considering that
this great wall is a historical relic that is more than 2000 years old, here you can also
enjoy the amazing views of the Chinese landscape. Because the Great Wall of China
is very long, there are several accesses to get to the location. There are three locations
that are well-known and frequently visited by tourists, namely Badaling, Mutianyu,
and Simatai.

The Great Wall at Badaling is the first part of the great wall that is open to the public
and is the most visited by tourists. Badaling itself is in Yanqing County. The walls
here are narrow at the top and broad at the base, looking very sturdy and still clean
because they are made of large stones mixed with mud and stone blocks in the inner
material. Between a radius of 300 to 500 meters, you will find a two-story fort that
served as a battle tower in ancient times. Near Badaling are the museum and the
National Theater of the Great Wall of China. In 1987, Badaling was registered as a
world cultural heritage by the United Nations.
