Welcome to my postcard blog! I collect postcards, and my goal is to collect at least one postcard from every country/territory/stamp issuing entity in the world. Maybe you can help me with my collection?

The Great Wall, China
In c. 220 B.C., under Qin Shi Huang, sections of earlier fortifications were joined together to form a united defence system against invasions from the north. Construction continued up to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), when the Great Wall became the world's largest military structure. Its historic and strategic importance is matched ony by its architectural significance. UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
