ming great wall









































the ming great wall (明長城; "ming changcheng"), built by the ming dynasty (1368–1644), forms the most visible parts of the great wall of china today. a comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the ming walls measure from jiayu pass in the west to the sea in shanhai pass, then looping over to terminate in manchuria at the hushan great wall. this is made up of sections of actual wall, of trenches and of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers.
ming great wall
the great wall of china visible today largely dates from the ming dynasty, as they rebuilt much of the wall in stone and brick, often extending its line through challenging terrain. some sections remain in relatively good condition or have been renovated, while others have been damaged or destroyed for ideological reasons, deconstructed for their building materials, or lost due to the ravages of time. for long an object of fascination for foreigners, the wall is now a revered national symbol and a popular tourist destination.
