Chinese LandmarksBy Luke Asman
LandmarksThere are a lot of famous landmarks in China. If you keep reading this article, you will find out about The Great Wall of China, Mount Everest , Terraces and the Terracotta Army.
The Great Wall of
China Did you know that the Great Wall
of China is 2300 years old?! It was made out of Earth, stones, wood and bricks. The ruler of China whose name was Qin built the Great Wall. The Great Wall is 3,946 miles long. The wall is 5-10 meters wide. It was built in 1644.
Mount Everest Mount Everest sits on Chinas southern
boarder. Did you know it is one of the tallest mountains in the world. A lot of people say Mount Everest is a volcano but it’s not. It’s looks easy to climb but it is very hard.
TerracesMany of Chinas
hillsides are carved into flat strips
called Terraces. It helps the farmers
grow crops because if it rained it would flood and the plants would die but now the water slides
down the strips and gives the plants
just enough water.
Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army is in Qin
Shihuangdi’s tomb because he told his workers when he died to make an army to protect from his afterlife. There were 6,000
soldiers made from clay.
So if anybody asks you about Chinese landmarks just use this.
