Where: China
What: The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest sights in the world - the longest wall in the world, an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture.

More Interesting Facts:

3. The Great Wall labor force included soldiers, forcibly-recruited peasants, convicts, and POWs.

Hidden Interesting Fact: The Great Wall is Donald Trump's inspiration for the construction of the wall between the United States and Mexico to make America great again!

Due to natural erosion and human damage, about 2,000 kilometers, or 30% of the Ming Great Wall has disappeared. To prevent further loss of the Great Wall, the Chinese Government has taken measures to protect it:

• Laws to protect the Great Wall.
• Funds for protection, restoration, and maintenance.

As individuals, the following can be done to protect the Great Wall:

• Plant trees to keep the Great Wall slopes protected from erosion.
• Don't litter and graffiti / remove trash and graffiti.
• Don't damage the Great Wall / take bricks home (it's illegal).
