The Great Wall of China
中国长城 是一座由石头和泥土建成的长 structure。它从公元前5世纪到公元16世纪修建并维护，用来保护中国北方的 boundary。许多类似的 fortifications 被修建过，但公元前220年至公元前200年间由中国第一位皇帝秦始皇修建的 barrier 最为著名。它位于现有城墙的北部，现存的 remnants 很少。现有的城墙建于明朝时期。
中国长城 是人类建造的地球上最大的 architecture。这道墙高约5至8米，长8851.8公里。它起始于上海附近，终止于一个名为罗布泊的地方。
主要部分的建设始于公元前208年左右。工程由秦帝国时期的中国人开始。中国第一位皇帝秦始皇最早使用它，并加以延长以保护他的 territory 免受敌人侵扰。除了中国的自然 barriers 外，它还用于守卫其他地区，是对北方匈奴部落的第一道 defense 线。
在汉、隋、北魏和金等朝代的历史中，都有关于长城 modification、expansion 和 reconstruction 的记载，其原因与最初修建时相同。
