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.
