Well, I just know these. Hope they would be helpful. It was first built in Zhou Dynasty (1046BC-256BC) and last built in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It is among one of the eight wonders in the world. The wall we talking about nowadays actually refer to the Wall that built in Ming Dynasty. Its total length is about 5500 miles (8851.8 kilometers) The average height of the wall is 8.53 yards (7.8 meters), and average width is 7.10 yards (5.8 meters).
