One of the largest building-construction projects ever carried out, it runs (with all its branches) about 4,000 mi (6,400 km) east to west from the Bo Hai (Gulf of Chihli) to a point deep in Central Asia. Parts of the fortification date from the 4th century BC. In 214 BC Shihuangdi connected existing defensive walls into a single system fortified by watchtowers. These served both to guard the rampart and to communicate with the capital, Xianyang (near modern Xi'an) by signalsmoke by day and fire by night. Originally constructed partly of masonry and earth, it was faced with brick in its eastern portion. It was rebuilt in later times, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. The basic wall is about 30 ft (9 m) high, and the towers rise to about 40 ft (12 m). It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. 中国北方防御性的屏障，是人类建造的大规模建筑工程之一。东起渤海，向西延伸到中亚深处，若将其支段计算在内，总长约6,400公里(4,000哩)。其中部分堡垒的历史可追溯至公元前4世纪。公元前214年秦始皇将当时存在的城墙，连结成一整套防御体系，并设置了望台增强其功能。了望台既可护卫城墙，并可藉由讯号(白日升烟、夜晚燃放火光)向首都咸阳(今西安附近)传递讯息。长城本来有部分是以石头和泥土建成，但其东段则以砖块覆盖表面。长城于后世续有修建，特别是在15～16世纪。长城的基本高度约为9公尺(30呎)，了望台则高达12公尺(40呎)。1987年长城被列为世界遗产保护区。
右耳钉的豆豆
In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture.在中国的北部，有一座长为6700km的古代城墙。现在就是中国著名的万里长城，西至嘉峪关，东至山海关。作为世界8大奇迹之一，长城已成为中华民族及其文化的象征。

The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall, is a military fortification in ancient China. It is a tall, solid and continuous wall to limit the movement of the enemy.
长城，又称万里长城，是中国古代的军事防御工事，是一道高大、坚固而且连绵不断的长垣，用以限隔敌骑的行动。
The Great Wall is not a simple and isolated city wall, but a defense system based on the city wall and combined with a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions and signs.
长城不是一道单纯孤立的城墙，而是以城墙为主体，同大量的城、障、亭、标相结合的防御体系。
The history of the construction of the great wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, from which the famous allusion "Fenghuo drama Princes" occurred in the capital of Haojing (now Xi'an, Shaanxi Province).
长城修筑的历史可上溯到西周时期，发生在首都镐京（今陕西西安）的著名典故“烽火戏诸侯”就源于此。
During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, countries competed for hegemony and defended each other. The construction of the Great Wall entered the first climax, but the length of construction was relatively short at this time.
春秋战国时期列国争霸，互相防守，长城修筑进入第一个高潮，但此时修筑的长度都比较短。
After Qin exterminated the six kingdoms and unified the world, Qinshihuang connected and repaired the great wall of the Warring States period, which was called the Great Wall.
秦灭六国统一天下后，秦始皇连接和修缮战国长城，始有万里长城之称。
