About Mutianyu Great Wall
The Great Wall began in the Spring and Autumn Period (770–476 BC) but was extensively rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) to protect Beijing from northern invaders. Emperor Zhu Di prioritized this project, and General Qi Jiguang oversaw the construction of key sections, like Badaling. The Ming government spent eight years fortifying the Wall with materials like brick and stone, adding watchtowers and military features. This rebuilt Wall became a symbol of China’s defense and strength.
