Despite having climbed the Great Wall of China 3 times in the past, I must admit I still don't know much about it, apart from it being built to fend off enemies. Some interesting facts I recently uncovered from watching this short, informative TedEx video:
1. It originally stretched from Lintao to Liaodong.
2. It was initially called The Long Wall.
3. It was made longer during the Han dynasty and stretched from Dunhuang to Bohai Sea.
4. In WW2, certain sections were even used as defense against Japanese invasion.
Enjoy!
