World Heritage

China

🎧 Listen to Introduction

Around 220 BC, during the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi, sections of earlier fortifications were linked together to form a unified defense system to protect against invasions from the north. Construction of the Great Wall continued until the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), when it became the largest military structure in the world. Its historical and strategic importance is rivaled only by its architectural significance.
