Fun facts:

It is NOT visible from space.

It is longer (5,500 miles) than the longest highway in the USA - U.S. Route 20 (3,365 miles).

From the 7th century BC, several walls were constructed and then all were joined together, fortified and unified to make up the Great Wall.

It includes several watch towers, troop barracks, garrison stations and signaling stations.

People camp on it during Great Wall rave parties.
