a 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.
Terraces
Many 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.
