Wall of Qin State

King Qin Shihuang founded the Qin Dynasty in 221 BCE. He integrated China and joined the separated walls of the various states and extended it further to prevent the sporadic attacks from the Huns and to establish peace in his kingdom. The invasion from Xiongnu, an ancient minority from the north often brought in disorder while intrusion by Yigu was also rampant. Thus a strong wall was built along the northern frontier. The task of building the wall was an overhauling project.

It involved hard work by millions of people for 10 years. The Wall of Qin lie in the Gansu province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

The Great Wall of Qin comprised of three sections, the eastern, the middle and the western section. The eastern section was built on the wall of Yan State. It started in Huade County, Inner Mongolia, and passed through Hebei Province to Fuxin County, Liaoning Province. The middle part, mainly built by the Qin Dynasty, with beacon towers, ascended from Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, in the east and finally reached the desert. The western part ran along the Yellow River, which began in Min County, Gansu Province, and wound its way to Yuzhong
