China is one of the countries with the most sites that are still visited by tourists. One very important one is the Great Wall of China. The wall is considered to be one of the biggest things man ever made. When the wall was first built from the ancient Chinese it was mostly because they wanted to keep any "intruders" out of the country. The wall goes throughout the whole country of china, even through mountains and the small deserts that are found all over the east. The wall is made out of dirt, mud and bricks. Today, some parts of the wall have been destroyed because of the weather and also because the government needed to build new roads. Though, in the year of 2006, the Chinese Government finally realized what a great thing the wall was and they started to take action to keep the wall intact. Another site that is mostly visited by the tourists is the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was the place where twenty-four emperors lived during the two dynasties of Ming and Qing. This palace was also knows as the Purple City. The palace was forbidden from everyone, except if one of the emperors invited you in. The place was build around the year of 1407 and it was finished after five years.
