The most popular attraction in Beijing is the Great Wall of China. The wall is 5000 km long, 8m high & 7m wide.
It was built 2000 years ago to stop people from the north attacking the Chinese people. The Chinese people would shoot their bows and arrows at the attackers from the wall. If they saw people from the other side they would make smoke signals to let the Chinese people know there was danger. There were also handrails to help people not to fall
over. One of the royal families which was the emperor’s family built this great wall. It took 200 to 300 years to make it.
The Great Wall of China is the first MUST see place to go if you’re in Beijing because it’s in the countryside, plus you can travel by car because it only takes 1 ½ hours.
