The Great Wall currently stretches over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles / 12,800 li) from Shanhai Pass in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. The distance between its farthest points is nearly 6,700 km (4,160 miles / 13,400 li)

Recent archaeological surveys have stimated that the entire Great Wall, with all of its branches, totals as much as 8,851.8 km (5,500 miles / 17,700 li) of constructed walls.
