The Great Wall Winds On
China · Asia
The Great Wall helped defend a territory. Towers helped guards watch the routes. Its path follows the mountains.
Did you know?
It was built and changed over many centuries.
Look together
What could the guards see from the tops of the towers?
An idea to try
Draw a winding line and add a tower at each end.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The Great Wall includes fortifications built in different periods. It was not a single continuous construction project. This scene suggests a restored section near Beijing, with a walkway and towers; materials and forms differ in other places.
