Ok, let me tell you the correct answer! In fact, there are three Great walls in our country! I tell you three Great Walls,In fact my mean there were three climax of building the Great Wall.First of all, it was Qin Great Wall.The second climax of building the Great Wall in Chinese history Was the Han dynasty period. The last Climax building the Great wall in Chinese history was in the Ming Dynasty.

Well, another question! Do you know how many functions of the Great Wall?(The tourist will give me their answers...)
In fact there were four functions of the Great Wall. The first was its Military function.Since the nomadic tribes lived in the grassland,they were good at riding horses and shooting arrows in battle , but not good at assaulting fortified positions.The Great Wall effectively stopping their attacks.
The second was its Economic function.The Great Wall was like a barrier, which made the hinterland a peaceful environment,so people could live harmoniously and economy could develop.
The third funtion of the Great Wall is that:the Great wall was a link that accelerated the mixing of ethnic groups.
The wall also has the funtion that it protected the "silk-road".

Attention please!There is another question: Do you know how many periods of the Great Wall in Beijing?(The tourist will give me their answers...)
There are 5 periods of the Great Wall in Beijing area run 629 kilometers: there are named as Badaling,Mutianyu, Juyongguan, Jinshanling and Simatai. Badaling Great Wall is the most famous one;Mutianyu Great Wall is the most beautiful one; Simatai Great Wall is the most original one and also the farthest away from Beijing City....

I think there is only one Great Wall in China, for it should be considered as a whole.
But there are many sections of it.
