The Great Wall of China has become one of the greatest
 architectural awe-inspiring buildings known as the 
"World's Garden".This masterpiece was chosen as one
 of the seven new wonders of the world on July 7, 2007
 and was recognized by UNESCO as a list of world heritages.
 The construction of this wall, which was the subject of
 legends,began in 221 BC and continued by the Chinese until
 the 17th century AD. The construction of this defensive
 wall, which is a long construction period, lasted about
 2,000 years.This defensive wall, which employs close to
 3 million workers during its construction,
 has a total length of 8.851 km. Po begins on the shore of
 Hay Gulf, Huhang Ho divides the river into two, stretching
 to the southwest, and continues westward from the south of the
 Gobi desert.
 A large part of the completed wall was restored in the time
 of the last Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

The purpose of the wall was to use a small set of defenses
 to protect the borders of over twenty separate Chinese
 dynasties during the period of the belligerent principalities.
 It was later completed by Qin Shi Huang, the first Chinese
 ruler, as a completely impenetrable wall. Thus, the attack of
 the Mongolian and Turkish sides coming from the north to Qin
 Shi Huang's territory will be eliminated. Although many
 historians have different opinions on the purpose of
 building the defense wall, the common view is almost
 immediately; that the prisoners of war of neighboring
 dynasties who were captured during the war are to be exercised
 and that the ruler is now ruled from the one hand by this
 defense wall to the whole world. It is also seen as a defense
 wall in the history of the Great Wall of China. The reason
 for this is that there are archery places, trenches and
 watchtowers every 200 meters on the wall. Not all of the
 Chinese Great Wall has a great example of workmanship and
 robustness. On the contrary, some of the walls were built with
 brick, while others were built with light building materials.
 It is usually built as 4-6 meters in height, 7 meters in base
 thickness and 6 meters in ceiling thickness, that is, the
 upper part of the wall.
