The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BCE; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built 220–206 BCE by Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty.
Other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration. Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watch towers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.

A wall is a structure that defines an area, carries a load, or provides shelter or security. There are many kinds of walls:
Wall comes from Latin vallum meaning "...an earthen wall or rampart set with palisades, a row or line of stakes, a wall, a rampart, fortification..." while the Latin word murus means a defensive stone wallEnglish uses the same word to mean an external wall and the internal sides of a room, but this is not universal. Many languages distinguish between the two. In German, some of this distinction can be seen between Wand and Mauer, in Spanish between pared and muro.
The word wall originally referred to defensive walls and ramparts.

Jose Pedro Balmaceda Pascal (born April 2, 1975), known professionally as Pedro Pascal, is a Chilean-born American actor. He is known for portraying roles such as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of the HBO series Game of Thrones and Javier Peña in the Netflix series Narcos.
Pascal was born in Santiago, Chile. Pascal's parents were Allende supporters, and they were involved in the opposition movement against the military regime in Chile around the time of his birth. Because of this, soon after his birth, his family was granted political asylum in Denmark while Chile was under the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. He was raised in Orange County, California, and San Antonio, Texas. Pascal was involved in competitive swimming during these early years, taking part in the state championships in Texas at the age of 11, but immediately stopped competitive swimming after getting into drama class. He studied acting at the Orange County School of the Arts and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and has been living in New York City for over 20 years.

Travel video about destination Great Wall in China. The Great Wall of China, a combination of many walls, extends for 1,500 miles and winds across Northern China from Gansu Province to Hebei Province on the Yellow Sea and was constructed as a defence against the northern nomads. Although it was to be of little military significance, the Great Wall is a monument to human endeavour and relentless achievement, a meandering Man made structure that seems to connect all of China's endless horizons. Some of its towers served as the soldiers' living quarters and also played an essential role in communicating messages. The advance of hostile troops was signalled with large fires and cannon shot and any relevant military information was then communicated from tower to tower until it reached a fortre...
The Great Wall of China is a must-see and we saw it from Badaling. However - no one tells you that there is something YOU SHOULDN"T WEAR on your visit! Plus, it's easy to get some great pictures despite the crowds.... IF you follow my tips. Why was I frustrated travel to the Great Wall at Badaling?

Take a tour of Great Wall of China in China -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. It is one of the world's most famous man-made structures, and the largest. The Great Wall of China is an enduring symbol of strength and empire. The Great Wall was built from 220-206 BC by China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. It was later restored and expanded during the Ming dynasty, in the 15th century. Even today, it seems almost mythical as it winds and climbs through the Chinese hills. There are parts of the wall that are destroyed or ruined, but huge stretches remain pristine. Incredibly, all the sections of the wall put together run for nearly 4,000 miles. There are many segments of the Great Wall that are open for people to walk along.

(A. Scott/Sloan)
Time may flow over realizing goals that no one knows
And my friends - They'd never admit it though
Because they can block it out and continue to roll on
But me - I know
That everything's about to blow away
For real this time and no one's watching
All of my life I've dreamed about it
And now that it's gone I can't do without it
All of my life I've stood behind it
Like trying to hide The Great Wall of China
Flying above Heathrow
Never dreaming of the time or my dwindling cash flow
And I know - I never said
That a European climb isn't starving my ego
One thing - I know
Is that everything's about to blow away
For real this time and no one's watching
All of this time I'm wasting on it
Preparing to see what the others think of it
Keeping in mind I'm still above it
But not very high because I'm only hovering
All of my life I've stood behind it
Like trying to hide The Great Wall
