长城(TheGreatWall) 长--6500多千米城墙高8--10米宽5--8米 长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹，因长度逾万里，故又称作"万里长城"。自秦朝开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。春秋战国时期，诸侯各国为了防御别国入侵，修筑烽火台，用城墙连接起来，形成最早的长城。以后历代君王大都加固增修。长城东起山海关，西至嘉峪关。明长城的总长度为8851.8千米。横贯河北、北京、内蒙古、山西、陕西、宁夏、甘肃等七个省、市、自治区，全长约6700公里，约13300里，在世上有"万里长城"之誉。

The Great Wall of China, also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000, is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes. It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria.The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east, at the limit between China proper and Manchuria, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
