The "Great Wall of China" on the Great Wall of China attracts a large number of tourists every year. Its total length is 21 thousand 198 kilometers. In order to protect China's northern border from the Mongols, the first Chinese emperor, Qin Shi Huang, took the initiative to build it in 220-207 BC. Many people think that 1 million workers worked in it. Among them 3 lakh workers lost their lives in various accidents. Much of this wall was also built during the Ming period.

Part of the Great Wall surrounding Beijing is more popular with tourists. The wall in the Beijing section is 26 feet high and 16 feet wide. An average of 50,000 tourists visit the Great Wall of China every day. In 1986, UNESCO declared the site a World Heritage Site
