CULTURAL FEATURES
Great Wall Of China
​
The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, it winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 13,170 miles (21,196 kilometers) from east to west of China. With more than 2,000 years of history, some of the sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.
The Terracotta Army figures’ excavation is regarded as one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century. It had lain underground for more than 2000 years before farmers digging a well in 1974 uncovered what is now considered one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world. The terracotta warriors were each made very unique; each with their own facial features, weapons and poses. They were put there by the first emperor of China; Qin Shi Huang Di, to guard his tomb before he died in 210BC. The impact that the Terracotta Warriors have had on China is massive it has bosted their tourist rate, and has made a massive impact on the community around it.
