Along most of its arc, it roughly delineates the border between North China and inner Mongolia. The wall is complemented by defensive fighting station, to which wall defenders may retreat it overwhelmed.
         Each tower has unique and restricted stairway and entries to confuse attackers. Barracks and administrative centers are located at larger intervals.
         The materials used are those available near the site of conduction. Near Beijing the wall is constructed from quarried limestone blocks. in other location it may be quarried granite of fired brick. Where suck materials are used, two finished walls are erected with packed earth and rubble fill placed in between with  and egg whites.
