This is the Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall is known as Changcheng in Mandarin Chinese. It literally means 'long wall'. It was originally created during 200 BC by the first emperor of China in the hopes of keeping invaders out of northern China. Today the Great Wall is considered by many to be one of the great wondrers of the world. It is still the world's longest human-made structure- 6, 400 km (roughly 4, 000 miles) of man made wall.
