My curiosity was piqued to discover the Great China Wall. I was looking for the biggest structure made by human.

The China Wall was constructed to defend the border from enemies. Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Communist Party of China, had a saying, “You’re not a real man if you haven’t climbed the Great Wall”.
