If we talk about the longest wall in the world, the first name that comes to mind is The Great Wall of China. It is said that it was first constructed two thousand and seven hundred years ago i.e. during the period of Chunqiu in 290 BC. But since then this wall has been broken several times and then rebuilt. Tourists come from all over the world to see it. This wall starts from Shanhaiguan in Hebei province, but where does it end? Very few people know about it.
In such a situation, let us tell you that starting from Shanhaiguan, the world’s longest wall ends at Shanhai Pass in Qinhuangdao city. There this wall joins the Bohai Sea, which is its last end. This part of the Great Wall of China is known as Laolongtou or Old Dragon Head. There is also an interesting story behind the name Old Dragon Head. It is said that looking at the place where this wall meets the sea, it appears as if the dragon is immersing its face in the sea.

This wall extends to different parts of China. In such a situation, people who come to see this wall in Laolongtu, apart from the wall, they will also get to see many beautiful art works. You will be surprised to know, but let us tell you that including all the corners, this wall is 21 thousand 196 KM long. Initially wood and stones were used to build it. Later it was built using brick.
Many fake claims are made
Many types of fake claims are also made regarding the Great Wall of China. Someone says that it can be seen from the moon, but in reality it is not so. Some people also say that this wall is visible even from space. But this is also not correct. Even NASA did not confirm this. However, experts say that only after reaching a height of 3 kilometers, this wall looks as thin as a human hair. In such a situation, it is not possible to see it with the naked eye from space. However, some astronauts also confirm seeing this wall.
