The Great Wall Reference Guide

A fact-checked 11-page guide to the Great Wall as many walls: the Qin joining, the Ming fabric, what the official lengths count, and the “visible from space” claim, with credited photographs and a simplified teaching diagram.

What’s inside:

- Not one wall

- The Qin joining

- The Ming wall, and what it is made of

- What the length figures count

- Ends of the line

- Named stretches

- Huanghuacheng and Mutianyu

- How much remains, and a busy pass

- Can you see it from the Moon?

- Sources and credits

Pages: 11 (A4) / 11 (US Letter). Formats: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Most inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; the cover is dark, so print that in colour or skip it to save ink.

Every fact is written in our own words and checked on 15 November 2026 against UNESCO’s World Heritage pages for The Great Wall (list 438), a UNESCO periodic report, Encyclopaedia Britannica’s Great Wall of China article, NASA’s 2005 feature “China’s Wall Less Great in View from Space”, and a BBC News report of 6 June 2012 on the official length survey; the sources are listed on the credits page.

This pack is independent and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, UNESCO, Encyclopaedia Britannica, NASA or the BBC. The east-to-west schematic is a simplified teaching diagram, not a survey map, and is not to scale.
