Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC；3 these, later joined together and made bigger， stronger， and unified are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall。4 Especially famous is the wall built between 220206 BC by the first Emperor of China， Qin Shi Huang。 Little of that wall remains。 Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt， maintained， and enhanced； the majority of the existing wall was reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty.Other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road， regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration. Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watch towers， troop barracks, garrison stations， signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire， and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Lake in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia。 A comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the Ming walls measure 8，850 km (5，500 mi)。5 This is made up of 6,259 km （3，889 mi） sections of actual wall, 359 km （223 mi) of trenches and 2，232 km (1，387 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers。5 Another archaeological survey found that the entire wall with all of its branches measure out to be 21，196 km （13，171 mi)。6 - The Great Wall of China, Wikipedia2. Yellowstone, however, is much more than hot ground and gushing steam。 Located astride the Continental Divide， most of the park occupies a high plateau surrounded by mountains and drained by several rivers。 Park boundaries enclose craggy peaks， alpine lakes， deep canyons, and vast forests。 In 1872, Yellowstone became the world's first national park， the result of great foresight on the part of many people about our eventual need for the solace and beauty of wild places.In early years, what made Yellowstone stand out was the extravaganza of geysers and hot springs。 The wild landscape and the bison, elk, and bears were nice but, after all, America was still a pioneer country filled with scenic beauty and animals。-Yellowstone National Park， National GeographicYellowstone National Park is the flagship of the National Park Service and a favorite to millions of visitors each year。 The park is a major destination for all members of the family.
