Have you ever wonder a wall lies like a gigantic dragon, stretching up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus?
I guess you would likely say is this The Great Wall of China? Yes, you are right.
The Great Wall of China, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the great man-made wonders of the world. Some said it is a great wonder because of its breathtaking architectural grandeur and historical significance, but for me, the time it took to complete The Great Wall of China is something that impressed me! How long does it take to complete? 1,800 years for an area of approximately 6,700 km from east to west China, can you imagine!
Frankly, it is difficult for me to comprehend how many men it must have taken to build this massive structure and how the enormous quantities of stones must have been transported there.
