The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall (Chinese: 长城, Pinyin: Cháng chéng) is now the symbol of China.
China's best-known attraction is one of seven wonders of the world and the largest
man-made monument ever to have been built. Chariman Mao once said "Not been
on the Great Wall, not a great man".(Bú dào Chángchéng fēi hăo hàn).
Building of The Great Wall started in the 7th century BC for defense purposes. Qin
unified China in 221 BC and soon began the greatest project in human history by
joining and extending the walls built by previous states. The Great Wall stretches
over 10,000 li or 5,000 km long, so it is called "Wan Li Chang Cheng" in Chinese.
After the Qin Dynasty, the Great Wall was renovated from time to time. The Great
Wall was mostly rebuilt in the the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and the project took
about 200 years to complete. The great wall we see today is mainly the Ming Wall.
The Great Wall at Badaling is the most popular spot for tourist. It is about 40
miles from Beijing. It was built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Historically, it
was the most important fortress protecting Beijing. In 1987, it was designated a
“World Cultural Heritage” by UNESCO. This was the site where President Nixon
visited on his historic trip to China in 1972. A cable car was built in the 1980s, which
was followed by a KFC and then a starbucks.(Website: www.badaling.gov.cn)
The Great Wall at Juyongguan is one of the sections closest to Beijing. With
unscalable mountains on either side, it was one of the two crucial passes to Beijing
and the site of pitched battles with invaders. It has fewer tourists, making for a
peaceful climb. Jugongguan is on the way to Badaling, so the public buses and tour
buses for Badaling will get you there.
The Great Wall at Mutianyu: its appear lies in its dramatic hilly setting and less
intrusive tourist industry. With a series of watchtowers along its restored length, the
wall here dated from 1368. Like Badaling, it has a cable car, but Mutianyu also
boasts a German-built toboggan ride. (Website: www.mutianyugreatwall.com)
The Great Wall at Huanghua cheng: is an exhilarating section of Ming
fortifications that is far less developed than most other parts. The great barrier is
split into two by a large reservoir. The crumbling masonry can be uneven and fairly
treacherous. (Website: www.huanghuacheng.com)
The Great Wall at Simatai: The wall at Simatai has only been partially reparied,
and so affords a more genuine impression of the original wall. It is very steep but a
good option for those who want a challenge. (Website: www.simatai-greatwall.net)
The Great Wall at Jinshanling is the least restored sections near Beijing as well
as the least visited. Besides being the starting point for a fantastic four-hour hike
(5.6 miles) to Simatai, Jinshanling is also where you can camp overnight. People
who wish to hike from Jinshanling to Simatai (and vice versa) often ask their driver
to wait for them at their destination or take the bus at their destination. (Website:
www.cdchangcheng.com)
The Great Wall at Jiankou: This section is for serious hikers only. Jiankou, a
scenic drive up the mountains west of Mutianyu, is considered the most dangerous
section of the Wall. The mountains are steep, and it's in need of renovation. It's
also pretty remote. But if you're physically fit and careful, it yields breathtaking
views that make for amazing great wall photos.
The Great Wall at Shanhaiguan: This section, in Hebei Province, is the place
where the Wall meets the sea. The East Gate, rebuilt in 1639, is known as the First
Pass Under Heaven. Manchu troops rode through here to Beijing to replace the
deposed Ming emperors in 1644. As the Wall rises steeply inland, two sheer drops
have to be climbed by ladder. From the top, you get a fantastic view of the Wall
dropping below and then bounding over the plain towards the sea. In the opposite
direction is the Old Dragon's Head, where bricks and earth crumble into golden
sand at the edge of the Bohai Sea.
Features:
* Elevation: 1,000 meters (3,280 feet)
* 3,741 meters long (2.3 miles) with and average height of 8 meters (26 feet)
* Top wide enough for 5 horses to be ridden together
* Constructed of large stones weighing one hundred kilograms (220 pounds)

长城
长城是中国古代最重要的军事防御工程，也是中国各族人民血汗和智慧的结晶。是我国古代劳动人民创造的伟大奇迹，是中国悠久历史
的见证。它与天安门，兵马俑一起被世人视为中国的象征。因长度逾万里，故又称作“万里长城”。经过岁月的变迁，长城早已失去了他
原有的军事价值，而以其特有的魅力吸引着广大中外游客，从上个实际80年代起，长城旅游开发就方兴未艾。
长城的起止点
由于时代久远，早期各个时代的长城大多残毁不全，现在保存比较完整的是明代修建的长城。所以一般人谈的长城，主要指的是明长
城。所称长城的长度，也指的是明长城的长度，明长城西起嘉峪关，东达鸭绿江畔。
长城的防御工程体系
绵延万里的长城它并不只是一道单独的城墙，而是由城墙、敌楼、关城、墩堡、营城、卫所、镇城烽火台等多种防御工事所组成的
一个完整的防御工程体系。
山海关长城
山海关是明代万里长城东部的一个重要关隘，位于河北省秦皇岛市，是中国华北与东北交通必经的关隘。明洪武十四年(1381年)，大将
徐达选中设山海卫。“枕山襟海，实辽蓟咽喉，乃移关于此，连引长城为城之址”，关城北倚峰峦叠翠的燕山山脉，南临波涛汹涌的渤海
湾，由于地势险要，素有京都锁钥之称。
山海关在秦皇岛市以东约10多公里处，山海关的城池，周长约4公里，是一座小城，整个城池与长城相连，以城为关。城高14米，厚7
米。全城有四座主要城门，并有多种古代的防御建筑，是一座防御体系比较完整的城关。关城平面呈方形，周长四公里，高十四公尺，
厚七公尺。有城门四座，东门最为壮观，有“天下第一关”之称，西门名迎恩，南门名望佯，北门名威远，各门上都筑城楼，城中心建钟
鼓楼，城外有护城河。在东西城门之外，还各建一个小城圈，俗称罗城或瓮城。1985年，修复山海关长城，1987年竣工。

目前现存几段长城：
八达岭长城，慕田峪长城，司马台长城，金山岭长城，黄花城水长城，居庸关长城，山海关长城，嘉峪关长城，虎山长城，九
门口长城，大同长城等。
八达岭长城：位于北京延庆的八达岭长城是明长城中保存最完好，最具代表性的一段。这里是重要关口居庸关的前哨，海拔高
度1015米，地势险要，历来是兵家必争之地，是明代重要的军事关隘和首都北京的重要屏障。登上这里的长城，可以居高临下，尽
览崇山峻岭的壮丽景色。迄今为止，已有包括尼克松、撒切尔夫人在内的三百多位知名人士到此游览。
八达岭长城位置：位于北京延庆县南部，在北京城区的西北方向，距市中心75公里。
慕田峪长城：慕田峪长城位于北京市怀柔区境内。距北京城73公里。北京著名长城景点之一，是明朝万里长城的精华所在。慕
田峪长城的构筑有着独特的风格，这里敌楼密集，关隘险要，城两侧均有垛口。
慕田峪长城位置：位于北京市怀柔区，据北京市77公里
司马台长城：独具“险、密、奇、巧、全”五大特点的司马台长城位于北京市密云县东北部的古北口镇境内，距北京120公里，由
戚继光督建，它东起望京楼，西至后川口，全长5.4公里，敌楼35座，整段长城构思精巧，设计奇特，结构新颖，造型各异，堪称万
里长城的精华。司马台长城1987年被列入世界遗产名录，属国家级重点文物保护单位，是我国唯一保留明代原貌的古建筑遗址。
司马台长城位置：位于北京市密云县东北部的古北口镇境内，距北京120公里
金山岭长城：位于距市区140公里密云县与河北滦平县交界的燕山山脉之中。西起龙峪口，东止望京楼，全线10.5公里。沿线
设有建筑各异的故搂67座，烽火台二座，大小关隘五处，这里长城上敌楼密集，一般50-100米一座，墙体以巨石为基，高5-8米，
并设有拦马墙、垛墙和障墙，形式多样，各具特色。被誉为"万里长城，金山独秀"。
黄花城水长城: 一个水字，为长城增添了无限的灵性和秀丽，是长城景观中唯一以水闻名的旅游区。景区的灏明湖有三百多亩，是
野生鸳鸯的栖息地。与长城、湖水相依的明代板栗园面积上百亩，为明代守城将士所种，园内棵棵栗树盘根错节，形态各异。山水
合一的完美景色吸引了无数中外游人，有“江南景、塞外风尽在水长城”之誉。
黄花城水长城位置：位于北京市怀柔区，据北京市65公里
居庸关长城是京北长城沿线上的著名古城关，国家级文物保护单位。城关所在的峡谷，属太行余脉军都山地，地形极为险峻，被称
为“天下第一雄关”。与紫荆关、倒马关、固关并称明朝京西四大名关。居庸关得名，始自秦代，相传秦始皇修筑长城时，将囚犯、
士卒和强征来的民夫徙居于此，取"徙居庸徒"之意。景区清流萦绕，翠峰重迭，花木郁茂，山鸟争鸣，有"居庸叠翠"之称，被列为"
燕京八景"之一。
居庸关长城位置：在昌平区境内，北京市区50余公里
古北口长城位于北京密云县东北部地处燕山山脉，蟠龙、卧虎两山南面的浅山丘陵区。潮河从北部山谷峡口流入密云水库。古北口
地势险要，在山海关与居庸关中段，山陡路险，距北京不过100公里，自古为京都锁钥重地。在京北燕山屏立、峰峦叠嶂中，潮河
南来峡谷洞开，所以有北京东北门户之称。古北口城北，东有蟠龙山，西有卧虎山，山势险峻，崖壁陡立，两山紧锁潮河，河岸只
有一辆车可通过的道路。古北口长城，蜿蜒曲折，起伏跌宕，敌楼密而形式各异。享誉中外的司马台长城，就是古北口长城中的一
段，其惊、险、奇、特，被长城专家罗哲文教授赞为长城之最。
山海关长城：是举世闻名的万里长城的入海处。现属山海关境内的长城全长26公里，主要包括：老龙头长城、南翼长城、关城
长城、北翼长城、角山长城、三道关长城及九门口长城等地段。老龙头长城是长城入海的端头部分，有“中华之魂”的盛誉。
嘉峪关长城：明代长城最西端的起点，建于明洪武五年（公元1372年），是目前保存最完整的一座城关，河西第一隘口，有天
下第一雄关的美名，也是丝绸之路上的重要一站。城关则是由内城、外城和城壕组成的完整军事防御体系。现在看到的城关以内城
为主，由黄土夯筑而成，外面包以城砖，坚固雄伟。城关两端的城墙横穿戈壁，在这里可以体会到大漠孤城的苍凉。
虎山长城：位于辽宁丹东市城东十五公里的鸭绿江畔虎山景区虎山面积四平方公里，主峰高146.3m。峰顶是万里长城的第一个
烽火台。站在烽火台上环顾四周，朝鲜的义州城、中国的马市沙洲和连接丹东与新义州的鸭绿江大桥清晰可见。
九门口长城：坐落在辽宁省绥中县李家乡新台子村境内，距山海关15公里，全长1704米。其南端起于危峰绝壁间，与自山海关
方向而来的长城相接。自此，长城沿山脊向北一直延伸到当地的九江河南岸，在宽达百米的九江河上，筑起规模巨大的过河城桥，
以此继续向北逶迤于群山之间。“城在水上走，水在城中流。”便是人们对九门口长城的形象描述。
大同长城：明代大同为九边重镇之一，战略地位十分重要。大同明长城主要建于嘉靖年间，由宣大总督翁万达创修。大同镇长
城东起天镇县东北镇口台，西至丫角山（今内蒙古清水河子上村东山），全长335公里。据《三云筹俎考·大同总镇图说》统计，大
同镇先后修大边、二边516．3里；内五堡、外五堡、塞外五堡、云冈六堡等主要城堡72座（城20，堡52）；边城776个；火路墩
833个。大同市、浑源、灵丘县境内的明长城周内长城。浑源境内计 160华里，灵丘境内长约 190华里。明内、外长城在大同境内
总长为 800多华里。为山西省重点文物保护单位。
八达岭长城，慕田峪长城，司马台长城，金山岭长城，黄花城水长城，居庸关长城，山海关长城，嘉峪关长城，虎山长城，九
