I think in China, the most interesting building is the Great Wall. it's one of the
Seven Wonders of the World, and it could be seen by the astronauts landing on the moon. it was built
about 2000years ago. It runs across from the west to the east like a huge dragon. it was built to stop
enemies from invading the land. soldiers used to keep watch on the Great Wall. when the enemy made an
attack, fires would be lit to warn other soldiers in the far distance. at present, the Great Wall is a symbol of
Chineese history.
