The Great Wall of China is about 5500 miles long. That is about the same distance as crossing the United States, from east to west, two times. The Great Wall of China is made mostly of earth and stone. The U.S views the Great Wall of China just as some big and long wall that everybody wants to visit. There is a long history of the Great Wall of China that not a lot of Americans know about. There are about 1.934 million people who visit the Great Wall each year. The Chinese built the Great Wall of China because they had to protect the Chinese Empire from the Mongolians. The little towers on the wall were used to hold fire and that’s how the Chinese would know when they were getting invaded. If they hadn’t built the wall the Chinese would’ve been invaded instantly. A lot of damage has been done to the wall over the years. As you can see the U.S and China have very different views on the Great Wall of China. The Chinese know a lot about the Great Wall of China and the U.S not as much. This paper explained two different views of the Great Wall of China.
