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.
After a full investigation, on, April 18th, 2009, it was announced that the length of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty was 8,851.8 km (5,500miles). The wall extends from Hushan Great wall in Liaoning Province to the Jayuguan Pass in Gansu Province. The section of Great Wall in Beijing is about 550km long.
