Most sites we see today are 600 years' old, like badaling and mutianyu. The origins of the great wall can be traced back to the 7th century bce during the warring states period There are no surviving historical records indicating the exact length and course of the qin walls, as most of the ancient walls have eroded away over the centuries, and very few sections remain today.

China’s great wall wasn’t built all at once—it was constructed and connected over many centuries
Now, new research suggests the earliest known section of the landmark may be roughly 300 years.
The great wall of china, an iconic symbol of chinese civilization, spans over 13,000 miles and has a history exceeding 2,000 years Initially built for defense against invasions, particularly from nomadic tribes, it saw significant enhancements during the qin and ming dynasties. In early 2025, archaeologists found persuasive evidence that the earliest known section of china's great wall, called the qi wall, is around 300 years older than previously believed The ancient walls were previously thought to date to the spring and autumn or early warring states periods.
The construction of the great wall began as early as the spring and autumn period and the warring states period, and continued until the qing dynasty, spanning over 2,000 years in total. According to historical records, the earliest great wall was built by the state of chu during the spring and autumn period and the warring states period It was distributed in the border area between henan and hubei provinces today, and has a history of more than 2600 years. The great wall of china wasn’t a single construction project, but rather a series of defensive and border fortifications linked over hundreds of years under the direction of multiple royal.
