The Great Wall of

China Did you know that the Great Wall

of China is 2300 years old?! It was made out of Earth, stones, wood and bricks. The ruler of China whose name was Qin built the Great Wall. The Great Wall is 3,946 miles long. The wall is 5-10 meters wide. It was built in 1644.

Mount Everest Mount Everest sits on Chinas southern

boarder. Did you know it is one of the tallest mountains in the world. A lot of people say Mount Everest is a volcano but it’s not. It’s looks easy to climb but it is very hard.

TerracesMany of Chinas

hillsides are carved into flat strips

called Terraces. It helps the farmers

grow crops because if it rained it would flood and the plants would die but now the water slides

down the strips and gives the plants

just enough water.

Terracotta Army

The Terracotta Army is in Qin

Shihuangdi’s tomb because he told his workers when he died to make an army to protect from his afterlife. There were 6,000

soldiers made from clay.

So if anybody asks you about Chinese landmarks just use this.
