Great Wall of China - art. The Great Wall stretches across northern China. It consists of a series of walls built by the Ming dynasty in the 15th and 16th centuries to protect China against invasions from the north. The strongest walls were built near Beijing, the Ming capital. Sections of the Great Wall, including this part near Beijing, have been restored, mainly for purposes of tourism. Wolfgang Kaehler
