Ancient China faced several nomadic groups as its main enemies from the north, the most notable being the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu were a confederation of nomadic tribes that posed a significant military threat to Chinese dynasties, particularly during the Han Dynasty. Their incursions prompted the construction of defensive structures, including early forms of the Great Wall. This rivalry significantly influenced Chinese military and diplomatic strategies throughout its history.
To the north of the Xiongnu, various groups and tribes included the Siberian nomadic peoples, such as the Donghu and the various Turkic tribes. These groups were often in flux and engaged in trade, conflict, or alliances with the Xiongnu. The geographical region was characterized by a diverse array of cultures and tribes, contributing to the complex dynamics of the steppe. Additionally, the Xiongnu's northern neighbors were influenced by the broader interactions of the Eurasian nomadic cultures.

Qin's primary enemy in the north was the Xiongnu, a powerful nomadic tribe known for their skilled cavalry and raids into Chinese territories. The Xiongnu frequently clashed with the Qin state during its expansion and consolidation efforts. The conflict with the Xiongnu played a significant role in shaping Qin's military strategies and eventually contributed to the construction of the Great Wall to defend against their incursions.
It was to protect China from the invasion of the Xiongnu people from Mongolia. The Xiongnu tribe was China's main enemy at that time.
