4K, HD, HQ Great Wall of China wallpapers

The Great Wall of China is the longest defensive wall in the world, stretching along with northwest China. The remains of the Great Wall of China begin on the seashore at Po Hay bay. It runs west through Beijing and runs southwest, dividing the Huang-Ho River in two. It continues from the south of the Gobi Desert, heading west.

The length of the Great Wall of China, including the destroyed parts, is 8851.8 kilometers. The part that stands today is the 2,500-kilometer embankment from the Ming Dynasty. However, the actual construction was done between 221 BC and 608 AD. According to another archaeological study, it has a total length of 21,196 km with all its branches.

During the Warring States period of China (403 BC - 221 BC), the foundation of the Great Wall of China was laid by more than 20 individual kingdoms. The Kingdoms of Chu, Qi, Yan, Wei, Han, Zhao, Qin built the first barriers on their borders to protect them from each other. Qin, Zhao, Yan kingdoms were also built to stop the attacks of Xiongnu, DongHu, LinHu, Hung-nu and to protect the northern borders of the country. The first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, decided to enclose this place with an impenetrable defensive wall, and it was called the Great Wall of China.

Historians have put forward different views on the purpose of embarking on this huge construction. Some of those:

• To defend the country's borders against the attack of the "Mongol" and "Turkish" tribes against China from the north, especially The Great Hun Empire.

• To punish the captive rulers of the principalities that he destroyed at the end of long wars by exile and hard work.

• To prevent escapes from the country.

• To show inside and outside that the country is united under one rule.
