Ming Great Wall

The Ming Great Wall is a historic series of fortifications built primarily during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) to defend China from invasions by nomadic tribes from the north. It consists of walls, watchtowers, and military forts stretching over 13,000 miles across northern China. Constructed using materials like bricks and stones, the wall served both as a border defense and a means of controlling trade and migration. Today, it stands as a symbol of Chinese ingenuity and history, attracting millions of visitors who appreciate its impressive engineering and cultural significance.
