Paragraph list
It was built by the emperor Shih Huang Ti, about 200 years before the birth of Christ, to keep out the Hsiung-nu, the Hun horsemen of the north who were raiding his land and cities.
The emperor did not in fact have to start from scratch.
He joined up sections of walls that already existed and although he died soon after the wall was begun his successors carried on constructing for several hundred years.
It stretches for more than 2540 kilometres from the Gulf of Chihli on the Yellow Sea westwards to the Jade Gate to Central Asia, where the ancient silk route once passed.
The Great Wall of China is probably our greatest building enterprise.
