| Beijing: The Great Wall | |
| Chinese started to build the Great Wall in the 7th century BC for defense purposes. Qin unified China in 221 BC and soon began the greatest project in human history by joining and extending the walls built by previous states. The Great Wall stretches over 5,000 km long. 6/11/2001 |
