After erosion for thousands of years, both have been scarred in most parts. Far apart from each other, the two kinds of military constructions have different defensive functions, architectural characteristics, and cultural inheritance. Contrary to castles that only defend tens of kilometers of feudal territory, the Great Wall runs over mountains and across rivers for more than 5,000 kilometers, enclosing the whole northern borders of the Chinese empire to form a chain-like defense line from the East China Sea to the inland of Asia." —Foreword Adult College of Tourism Management Tourism Senior High School Tourism Text in English The Great Wall of China.
