The Great Wall of China was built to protect ancient Chinese states and empires against invasions by nomadic groups from the north. It was constructed over centuries, from the 7th century BC to the 16th century AD, and runs across northern China bordering Mongolia. The wall stretches over 13,000 miles, though only a few sections are protected and accessible for visitors today.
