Definition of Wall of China

The Chinese Wall (or also known as the Great Wall of China) is without a doubt one of the most spectacular human constructions of all time. This has to do with its extension, with its grandeur, with its fabulous style and with the incredible fact that it can be seen from the Moon. As it happens with all building of a similar type, the main objective of the Great Wall of China was to protect and divide the region that empire Chinese from the rest of the territories occupied by other companies. Technically, this wall then acted as a fortification.

In the present, The Chinese Wall occupies more than six thousand kilometers in length, although historians and researchers estimate that it may have reached twenty thousand kilometers in other distant times. Every so often, the wall has a small square that would serve as a post of observation and control against the advance of certain threats and dangers. At the same time, it also has widely spaced doors that were intended to help with the mobility of those in charge of protection. The Chinese Wall is built almost entirely of large stone blocks, although it also has brick and granite in some sections. Its walls are almost seven meters high while their width is between 4 and 5 meters.

Due to the wear that nature and the passage of man cause on the conditions of preservation and maintenance, the Chinese Wall is nowadays protected in some regions of its extension and the passage is impeded momentarily. This fabulous Wall is considered by UNICEF as Heritage of the Humanity since 1987 and that is why it is well preserved (although it has been speculated that some parts of it may disappear due to permanent erosion of the wind and others factors natural.
