= =  =The Great Wall of China is one of the worlds most well known wonder and well known tourist attraction. The Great Wall is found China. The Great Wall of China is located on the northern border of China and from there it goes through all of China. Some of the natural features that it goes through are mountains, deserts, grassland, and plateaus. = =The Great Wall of China is the longest thing ever built. Some towns that the Great Wall goes through are Shanhaiguan, Lop Nur, and Qinhuangdao. It is about 4,500 miles long, 20 feet high and 25 feet wide. It was built entirely by hand and over 1,000 men helped build it. The Great Wall was built to protect China from attacks and invasions. It has helped China from being attacked in many wars, but now it is no longer used for protection. Now, the Great Wall is a very well known tourist attraction. The Great Wall is so old that some of it is collapsing because it just can’t stand up any longer, but some of the destroyed parts are from attacks that have tried to knock it down. Some of the more popular parts of the Great Wall are getting re-built, but some parts that are destroyed are not getting re-built. It is such a popular tourist attraction that people from around the world come to China just to visit the Great Wall. = =Learning about the Great Wall is very interesting. You get to learn about how it is made, how they built it, how long it took, and much more fascinating facts. My wonder is special because it the longest thing ever built and such a well known place to go. =
