What are the famous places in China?

1, Great Wall:

The Great Wall of Wan Li is a great building in ancient China and a symbol of the Chinese nation. The history of building the Great Wall can be traced back to the 9th century BC, and its main purpose is to defend against the invasion of northern nationalities.

In 22 1 year BC, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he connected the Great Wall built by the warring countries in the north before reunification, forming a barrier across the mountains on the northern border, which was more than 5,000 kilometers long. It is a barrier to resist the attack of nomadic cavalry in the northern Mongolian grassland, and it is also a favorable proof of Qin Shihuang's own strength and glory.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also built the Great Wall many times, protecting Hetao and Longxi, and strengthening exchanges between the East and the West, with a length exceeding 10000 km. In the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the remnants of the former dynasty (Yuan Dynasty) from going south, the Great Wall of the North was continuously built, with a total length of more than 7,300 kilometers, and the whole project lasted for more than 200 years. ?

At other times in China's history, the rulers also built the Great Wall to varying degrees, with a total length of over 50,000 kilometers. Therefore, the Great Wall is a great engineering miracle of "up and down for two thousand years, hundreds of thousands of miles vertically and horizontally". On July 7, 2007, the Great Wall became one of the new seven wonders of the world.
