Southern Great Wall

China / Guizhou / Tongren /
 wall(s), fortification

Built during the Wanli period (1563-1620) of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it stretched 190 km.

The wall was meant to separate the Miao from the Han. With a height of 3m, a width of 1m at the top and 2m at the base, it is made up of stone slabs that are often not cut neatly or polished.

The section open to tourists, to the west of Phoenix, was renovated around the new millennium and extends only 4.48 km.
