Beijing attractions Home : Beijing Attractons Great wall of China Zigzagging its way from east to west across the northern edge of the ancient Chinese Empire, the Great Wall is an unfathomable exercise in large-scale construction-even if it’s not visible from the moon. Although the emperor Qin Shihuang is credited with laying the cornerstone, his wall, made 4 of temped earth in 221BC,linked a series of pre-existing structures into a 5,000km barrier. Every dynasty since the Qin has built, fortified and extended this mammoth rampart, but most structures visible today near Beijing date from the Ming dynasty. The exact length of the wall is unclear, since new sections continue to be discovered—an 80km stretch was found in Ningxia in 2002. Officiall it snakes across 6,200 km of territory and, if stretched out end-to –end, would measure15, 000km. Great Wall Map Contrary to urban myth, the corpses of laborers who perished during its construction were not buried inside the Great Wall. The bodies of overworked drudges were dumped in a ditch alongside the wall. Decomposition under the bricks would have compromised the wall’s strength and stability. Years of tourist encroachment have taken a toll on the Wall. In an attempt to protect this historical site, the Beijing Government has banned hiking on sections of the so-called ‘Wild Wall’. The ban is not always enforced, but bear in mind that some sections of the wall are over crumble with even the most delicate steps. Not a few Beijing residents have visited the Wall so many times they have become blaze about the ‘glorified fence’ in their backyard. If you fall into that category, you should rediscover who was the first foreigner to traverse the wall’s length from desert to ocean. Lindesay works with the Beijing Administration. Present Great Wall of China Today, the Great wall has lost its strategic importance and has become a world-renowned tourist attraction. The laboring people of different dynasties demonstrated their intelligence and wisdom while building this great project. They left behind a precious heritage deserving our everlasting care. Badaling section, Juyong pass and Cloud Terrace were listed as important historical monuments under special preservation by the Chinese government in 1961. The Great Wall was listed by UNESCO in 1987 as one of the world heritages. The wall is complemented by defensive fighting stations, to which wall defenders may retreat if overwhelmed. Each tower has unique and restricted stairways and entries to confuse attackers. Barracks and administrative centers are located at larger intervals. In addition to the usual military weapons of the period, specialized wall defense weapons were used. Re productions of weapons are displayed at the wall.
