Fun Fact:
The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built from the 5th century BC to 16th century AD. The longest man-made structure in the world, the Great Wall stretches over 5,500 miles. Forts, passes, and beacon towers along the wall housed soldiers, stored grain and weapons, and were used to transmit military information.

The Great Wall has often been compared to a dragon. In China, the dragon is a protective divinity and is synonymous with springtime and vital energy. The Chinese believed the earth was filled with dragons that gave shape to the mountains and formed the sinew of the land.
