CHINESE WALL The Great Wall of China, a combination of many walls, extends for 1,500 miles and winds across Northern China from Gansu Province to Hebei Province on the Yellow Sea and was constructed as a defence against the northern nomads. Although it was to be of little military significance, the Great Wall is a monument to human endeavour and relentless achievement, a meandering Man made structure that seems to connect all of China’s endless horizons and cloak them in the mystique of an unseen invader struggling to overcome an invisible force in a land of inscrutable colour, diversity, culture and very real militaristic might.
