Much of the Great Wall of China was built in mountainous and hilly regions to keep out nomadic invaders to survey the wide expanses of countryside which needed protection. Portions of the wall climb extremely steep slopes. Many parts of the Great Wall, especially those in the mountains, have fallen into disrepair. |
