Will we know one of the 7 wonders of the world? Then we must go to Asia to see a beautiful monument that runs along the vast expanse of the Chinese territory. We are talking about the Great Wall of China, a vast super strength of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, which has thousands of years standing.

Walk the Great Wall of China is not alone, a long stretch of rocks on top of a mountain. We all know that this wall had previously (when it was built by one dynasty after another) the purpose of protecting the army and attacks by enemy soldiers to the empire that dominated the region.

If we mention some of the most traveled by tourists, who see that the stresses on the remaining sector is the Badaling, it’s an important point of the Wall. This work is between 7 and 8 meters in height and a base of 5 to 6 meters wide. The stones and the walls are undoubtedly the best preserved of all the wall until you can see today where the towers were defending the army firing arrows and bullets. To get here we must go about 45 minutes drive from the capital, Beijing.

History tells us that the invention of firearms and the dismemberment of the Mongolian power in Asia that Wall did lose its strategic value and was completely abandoned.

Moreover, it was expensive to maintain a structure as large as that required staff to border surveillance. However, at present, for their tourist appeal, the Chinese government pays special attention to maintaining historical and cultural heritage of the nation.
