According to the archaeological research, once the total length of the wall was 21,196 kilometers, considering that its construction began in the 3rd century BC. But only its later sections, that were built in the 14th-17th centuries with the use of more sustainable and solid stone blocks, have remained till nowadays. And even the remaining 6,259 kilometers of this construction truly make the Great Wall of China one of the most outstanding monuments of the world.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong is both a city and a state, and (more precisely), a special administrative area of the People's Republic of China. It is truly "special" in all regards.

Hong Kong is one of the worldwide financial centers, and this mere fact places certain obligations on its residents and determines the city's architectural appearance (the first skyscrapers in China were built here). Additionally, a special administrative status allows Hong Kong to have its own laws, and it takes full advantage of those.
