Great Wall of China Falls After Heavy Rains

Heavy rains in northern China caused huge flooding, and tons of water swept down from the mountains and swept away a part of the wall at Dajingmen. The cascade of rain left a 36 meter wide gap in the ancient Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall of China, listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1987, was initially built in seventh century BC to keep invaders out of the Chinese Empire.
