The Qin wall is the southern section and is named the Guyuan Great Wall. It is more than 400 km. long and can sill be seen.
The Mongol nomads in the north often entered central China through the Sanguankou area and were a great threat to the northern borders. In order to keep the Mongol invaders outside, walls were built along the borders, forming a seemingly impenetrable fortification.
This section of walls was built with soil mixed with gravel. It is recorded that materials used were transferred from distant mountainous areas.
