Little Mei, I’ve finally climbed onto the Great Wall!
Yes. Chinese people often say: “If you don’t go to the Great Wall, you’re not a brave man.” Now you, too, can be regarded as a “brave man”!
Wow, it really lives up to its reputation. Little Mei, how long really is the Great Wall?
I think it’s over 6,000 kilometers long.
When was the Great Wall built?
More than 2,000 years ago, during the Warring States Period, they began building it. Later in successive dynasties it kept being expanded. But this section here was built during the Ming.
At that time to build it must have really been quite difficult.
That’s for sure! The material all had to be transported by hand. No one knows how many people died!
