The Great Wall of China stretches from Dandong in the east to Lop Lake in the west.
The Great Wall of China (traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Wnl Chngchng, literally "ten thousand li wall") is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe
 Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined by Qin Shi Huang (220206 BC), the first emperor of China
