Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC. The most famous is the wall built between 220â€“200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.Â  The Great Wall stretches over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles) from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia, but stretches to over 6,700 km (4,160 miles) in total. At its peak, the Ming Wall was guarded by more than one million men.Â  It has been estimated that somewhere in the range of 2 to 3 million Chinese died as part of the centuries-long project of building the wall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1099" title="1" src="http://www.itaoran.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/1-150x109.jpeg" alt="1" width="150" height="109" />Founded in 1956, FCD is one of the oldest primary schools for foreigners in Beijing. CSL education is deemed as only a transition to a Chinese-only instruction, particularly in the international division of the school (guojibu). As a Chinese school following the Chinese national curriculum, expectations of the students, in terms of content, are more demanding compared to international or bilingual schools. This however, allows students to adapt to the Chinese National Curriculum rapidly. Even though the majority of the teachers are non-native English speakers, the increasing focus on English has seen considerable finances being allocated to professional development. The school&#8217;s extracurricular activities include summer camps and visits to cultural events while their facilities include a multifunction athletic field.</p>
