[2026 广东茂名调研] The Great Wall of China is one of the seven modern wonders of the world. The Great Wall of China runs from the east to the west of northern China, like a huge loong lying on the land. It's a symbol of China's long history and culture.

The Great Wall was built by different dynasties, and the materials in different areas may not be the same. The earliest parts used earth and stones to keep enemies out. During the Ming Dynasty, people added bricks (砖) to make it stronger. In mountainous areas, workers cut rocks directly into steps, while in deserts, they mixed sand and grass to build the walls.
