Great Wall of China 万里长城

The Great Wall of China consists of numerous walls and fortifications. The wall is originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the third century. It was built to prevent incursions from barbarians nomads into the Empire. It is one of the most extensive construction projects ever completed. 
It represents the unification of China, because it was linked together as China was unified for the first time in the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). It represents the great ability of the Chinese to work together for the good of the country.
