The Great Wall
The Great Wall of China is considered to be the only man-made project visible from the moon. Although it was once thought to have been built entirely during the Qin Dynasty between 221 and 208 BC, it is now believed to have been started earlier.
The 15-foot-high, 25-foot-wide, 1,500-mile-long structure was undoubtedly built to keep out invading enemies. To the common people of the empire, who had been forced to build the wall, it was not worth it, however. The wall, and other public works completed by the Qin Dynasty,had caused great losses of wealth and human life in the country. As a result,an angry population rose up in rebellion against the Qin Dynasty,and in 207 BC the Han Dynasty began.
Because of its rich history and magnificent appearance,the Great Wall attracts tourists, scientists, and historians to this day and will continue to do so for generations.

长城有着悠久的文化和宏伟的外观，因此直到今天还在吸引着旅游者、科学家和史学家前来参观，而且在今后许多年仍会如此。

中国的万里长城,是世界上最伟大的建筑奇迹之一.它东起辽宁省的鸭绿江向西一直延至隔壁滩的嘉峪关,绵延一万两千七百多公里,因此它被称为中国的万里长城.长城绵延于蜿蜒曲折,跌宕起伏的燕山和阴山山脉的山脊之上,途经辽宁、河北、山西、陕西和甘肃等5个省和宁夏、内蒙古等两个自治区,从而把整个中国的北方连接起来…
