The Great wall is located in Beijing. It was used to keep out enemies. The Great Wall is so long, astronauts can see it from

space! It is about 15,000 miles long! Inside The Great Wall, is the Forbidden City, which was

used long ago by the emperors of China. It is 250 acres of paradise, beautiful walkways, nice

gardens, and all roofs are yellow and curved to keep the bad spirits away. The Great Wall took 3,000 workers and 10 years to make

it.
