MODEL BUILDING TIPS

This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.

Give yourself enough time to enjoy the process and achieve the best result!

ABOUT THIS LANDMARK

The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of various neighbors.

Stretching approximately 21,196 kilometers (13,171 miles) in its entirety, the Great Wall is not a continuous line but a collection of walls and fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials. It traverses a diverse range of terrains, from deserts and mountains to plateaus and grasslands.

Over the centuries, sections of the Great Wall have been damaged or destroyed by natural elements and human activity. Preservation and restoration efforts continue today to maintain this UNESCO World Heritage site, which is also considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
