The Great Wall in the desert Gobi

Introduction

The Great Wall of Han Dynasty was first built in the second year of Emperor Wu of Han's reign in YuanShui (121BC) and completed in the fourth year of Taichu (101BC). It stretches over 1,000 kilometers from Wanyuandun in Dunhuang to Ningxia, passing through landmarks such as Shule River, Yumenguan, Datong and Jiayuguan. The Great Wall of Han Dynasty is an important part of the complete military defense system of the Han Dynasty in Hexi and the historical epitome of the entire defense project in northern China. Despite centuries of erosion, it still stands in the desert and is one of the best-preserved sections of the Great Wall.
