 The Great Wall of China is a system of fortifications designed to protect ancient Chinese kingdoms and Imperial China from numerous nomadic populations from the Eurasian Steppe.

Only a little portion of the Qin wall has survived. Many consecutive dynasties would later construct and maintain various lengths of boundary walls.
