Experts once believed that the Great Wall of China only stood 5,500 miles long, but a new archaeological survey done by Chinaâs State Administration of Cultural Heritage says the Great Wall is more than double than that length. The report, released early June, estimates that the Great Wall extends 13,170 miles long and across 15 provinces.
The size of the Great Wall of China makes it one of the most impressive structures ever built. The total length is 8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi).But the actual length of the wall is 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) while the trenches are 359.7 km (223.5 mi).his area of the Wall is 5 meters (16 ft) wide and 7.8 meters (26 ft) high. The Jiayuguan West Pass is the Wallâs western edge. One of the most striking areas is the steep slopes of the Ming Wall. It is 5 to 8 meters (16â26 ft) high and 1 kilometer (6.8 mi) long. Across the bottom it is 6 meters (20 ft) across.
