The Great Wall of China is a series of fortified walls that goes through northern China. It stretches for approximately 8800 kilometers (about 5500 miles) and was built around the 5th century BC to defend against nomadic tribes from central Asia. Construction on the wall was on and off depending on the time periods' threat levels.
