Great Wall of China
He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true man.- Chairman
Mao
Nearly everyone has heard of the huge stone wall known as the Great
Wall of China. The Great Wall of China was built mainly to protect the
Chinese Empire from the Mongolians and other invaders. Successive
Chinese dynasties all had a hand in repairing, re-building, lengthening,
modifying and preserving the Great Wall. There are huge discrepancies
regarding the length of the wall.
It's generally believed that China began to build the Great Wall during

the Spring and Autumn Periods when the country was in a great chaos,
with rival states fighting for territory and power. to protect their states and
people, independent walls were successively built along their states'
borders by those states. However, it's not until the Qin Dynasty after the
country was unified by Qinshihuang, did the mass construction of the
Great Wall took place.
In 221 BC, after Emperor Qinshihuang defeated the other six states and
unified China, he decided to link up all the separate high walls built by its
rivals, especially the walls in the northern part of China built by the states
of Qin, Zhao and Yan as a great defense project to ward off the
harassment by the Huns. When it was finished, the total length of the
Wall exceeds 5, 000 kilometers. The Qin Great Wall winds its way from
Linrao, Gansu Province in the west to the Liaodong Peninsula, Liaoning
Province.
In the Chinese history, the Great Wall built in four dynasties exceed 10,
000 li in length: the dynasties of Qin, Han, Jing and Ming. Among them,
the Han Great Wall, from Liaodao in the east to Yanze in the west, is the
longest: more than 10, 000 kms.
The construction of the Great wall had never ceased for nearly all the
Chinese fuadal dynasties. The smaller and less powerful dynasties of
North Wei, North Qi, East Wei and North Zhou all spent a lot on the
Great Wall. The Shui Dynasty rebuilt the Wall for 6 times while its

following dynasty of Tang, the culmination of China's feudal age, never
built the Great wall owing to its superior power and advantage over its
northern nomad neighbors. Song Dynasty had the history of building
Great Wall against the invasions of Liao, Xixia and Jing in the north and
northwest. The Jing Great wall, 5, 000 kilometers long, is the longest
among those built by a government of minority ethnic people. And the
vast Empire of Yuan did not have a history of building the Great Wall.
Statue of liberty
The Statue of Liberty was presented by the people of France to the
people of the United States in 1886 to honor the friendship between the
two nations. Today, it is recognized as a symbol of liberty throughout the
world.
It was established as a national monument in 1924 and placed under the
management of the National Park Service (NPS) in 1933. It underwent an
extensive $86 million renovation, just in time for the Statue's 100th
birthday in 1986. More than 5 million people visit the statue each year.
For 91 years, the NPS has endeavored to preserve America's parklands
for generations to come. The NPS and concessioner Evelyn Hill, the
concessioner, work to provide everything you may need for a memorable
visit.

the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its
stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly
at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon.
On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when
viewed from across the Jamuna river.
Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim, EmperorShah Jahan (died 1666
C.E.) in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra,
India. It is an "elegy in marble" or some say an expression of a "dream."
Taj Mahal (meaning Crown Palace) is a Mausoleum that houses the grave
of queen .
