Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China was built about 2000 years ago by many different Chinese emperors to protect China from invaders. The Wall started construction under Qin Shi huangdi in 220 BC. The Wall is known as one of the seven wonders with its beauty and unique features. It snakes through the mountains of China for about 4,500 miles (but no one knows how long it really is). It is 25 feet tall and 15-30 feet wide where it is nice, but in some places, all the wall is rammed earth or just a pile of bricks. Does this count as part of the Great Wall or not? It could be or it might not be. This is why no one knows exactly how long it is. In China, the wall is called Wann Li Channg-Chng. That means Long Wall of 10,000 Li. A li equals three tenths of a mile. The Great Wall is very widely visited and if you go to China and dont see the Great Wall, you havent really been to China.

All of the faces of the warriors are different. None of them are alike! There are also chariots and horse statues. Lastly, they are ranked based on there clothing. Go look at the 7,000 terra cotta warriors!
He is a great ruler but he had a dark side. It was said that he killed about 1,000,000 people with his harsh punishments, war, and forced labor.
One of his most famous accomplishments was the Great Wall which came with huge human sacrice. During the building of the Great Wall, men were forced into labor without a lot of food and no shelter. This killed many people.
Qin Shi huangdi believed everybody was born bad. This had no one trusting each other and a bad society. Neighbors would spy on neighbors, friends would spy on friends, and
