I have been researching this question for a while and keep coming up with different answers. Can anyone shed some light on this question, please?
What is the height and length of the Great Wall of China?
I researched it and I found several answers also but I found this answer and compared to all the other Measures, they all fell into this range. The measures are probably different because I'm sure the whole length of the wall isn't the exact same height.
It ranges in height from 15 to 30 feet (5 to 9 meters).
The Great Wall was built and rebuilt over a course of several hundred years. Some of it is no longer visible, and other parts have been rebuilt fairly recently. Check this site for more information.

Thank you for your time ladies. I reviewed the site that Ms. Sue supplied and found some very helpful information. However, there are still no precise measurements available. I decided to scale down and focus on a specific part of the great wall, constructed during the Qin dynasty, in order to provide more precise numbers.
You're welcome. I think your plan is excellent.
The Great Wall of China, one of the most iconic architectural marvels in the world, stretches across various parts of northern China. The exact height and length of the Great Wall can vary depending on the source and the section of the wall being measured.
To find accurate and up-to-date information on the height and length of the Great Wall, the best approach is to consult reliable sources. Here's how you can do that:
1. Visit reputable websites or online encyclopedias: Websites such as UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) or official Chinese tourism websites can provide reliable information on the Great Wall. Avoid anecdotal or unverified sources.
2. Consult scholarly articles and books: Academic sources can provide comprehensive and detailed information about the construction and measurements of the Great Wall. Libraries, online databases, or university resources are excellent places to find scholarly material.
When researching, keep in mind that the Great Wall is not a continuous structure but rather a series of walls, fortifications, and natural defenses with varying heights and lengths. Moreover, different sections may have undergone restoration or reconstruction, further affecting their measurements.
Ultimately, the most accurate height and length numbers can be obtained from official sources and scientific studies.
