The Great Wall of China: The long wall of 10,000 Li is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during various successive dynasties. Since the 5th century BC, several walls have been built that were referred to as the Great Wall. One of the most famous is the wall built between 206–220BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains (About 1542 km) the majority of the existing wall were built during the Ming Dynasty. This wall starts from the Liao Ning in East and it continues to the Gate Juyongguan in the Gansu province in West.

Tian-anmen square: Or Gate of Heavenly Peace sits at the entrance to the former Forbidden City, the imperial residential quarter of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and towers over the immense square of the same name. The gate, first built as the front gateway to the imperial capital, consists of a double-roofed tower with nine frontal columns, elevated upon a red platform with five vaulted gateways. From base to rooftop the structure stands 33.7 metres in height. The vermillion platform beneath the tower rises more than ten metres high upon a white marble pedestal. The tower looks majestic with its double roofs and flying eaves, yellow glazed tiles and vermillion walls, elaborately carved brackets and beams and painted pillars. Tian-anmen is a symbol of New China. A rendition of it forms the centerpiece of the Chinese national emblem. The ceremony to inaugurate the Peoples Republic of China took place at Tian-anmen on October 1, 1949. The Tiananmen Gate was first built in 1417 in the Ming Dynasty.
