The Great Wall of China Is Not Continuous

  

The Great Wall of China is often referred to as a single, continuous wall stretching thousands of miles. However, it's not a singular structure but rather a series of walls and fortifications built by different Chinese dynasties over centuries. The construction of the wall began around the 7th century BC but was not continuous. It consists of walls, trenches, and natural barriers like mountains and rivers. The most famous sections of the wall, such as the one built during the Ming Dynasty, are better preserved, but many parts are in ruins.
