Chinese southern great wall was built in 1554 and finished in 1622. the southern great wall starts from Tingziguan in south to Xiqueying in north with the total length of 191, 000 meters. It is called The Tens of Thousands of Miles Wall in Miao-Nationality area. It is also one of the greatest projects in Chinese history. Most sections of southern great wall go through Fenghuang Ancient Town. The great wall has 3 meters high and 2 meters wide in bottom. Most of the great wall was built on the steep ridges. It surrounds the mountains and strides the rivers. There are a lot of passes, emplacements, sentries and other defensive buildings, roughly 800 used for soldier stationing and defense. In Ming Dynasty, the local people of Miao Nationality were divided into Strange Miao-Nationality People and Familiar Miao-Nationality People. Generally, Strange Miao-Nationality People disobeyed the administration of central government, and they could not bear the suppression of government and rebelled against the government, so to stabilize the government of the Ming Dynasty this great wall was built to separate two kinds of people of Miao Nationality. But such a defensive project was not so useful as planned. The stones of the great wall were gradually removed by the local people to build houses. Great Wall of Miao Nationality is for sure a part of Chinese great wall and should be listed in the world cultural heritage together with north great wall.
