Originally built in the Warring States period ( BC) as a series of earthworks erected by individual kingdoms as a defence against each other and from invasions from the north, the Great Wall s main objective was to keep out Genghis Khan and the Mongolian hordes. This proved only partially successful. The present day wall remains from the Ming dynasty ( ) and represents one of the great wonders of the world. After lunch, visit the Forbidden City, the complex of the Imperial Palace that covers 74 hectares and was home to the Emperors of China for over 500 years.
