Vatican City, officially known as the Vatican City State, is the smallest independent state in the world both in terms of land area and population.

Vatican City covers an area of approximately 0.44 square kilometers (0.17 square miles). 
It is an enclave within Rome, Italy, and is entirely surrounded by high walls.

Vatican City has a very small population, with around 800 residents. 
However, it attracts millions of visitors each year due to its religious and historical significance.

Vatican City is an independent city-state and the spiritual and administrative headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. 
It is led by the Pope, who serves as the head of state and the leader of the Catholic Church.

Vatican City has a unique political structure. The Pope is the absolute monarch and holds all legislative, executive, and judicial powers. 
He is assisted by various bodies, including the College of Cardinals and the Roman Curia, in the governance of the Vatican.

The Vatican City has its own economy, which is primarily supported by donations, tourism, and the sale of postage stamps, coins, and publications. 
It does not have an industrial or commercial sector.

Vatican City is a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for its cultural and historical importance. 
Its art treasures, including Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, attract art enthusiasts from around the world.

Visitors to Vatican City can explore its iconic landmarks, attend papal audiences, visit the Vatican Museums, and experience the unique atmosphere of this small but significant city-state.

  The Great Wall is the largest man-made project in the world.  The complete route is over 20,000 km, stretching from the east seaside to the west desert in northern China,winding up and down across mountains and plateaus like a dragon. The Great Wall stretches across 15 northern Chinese provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, from the Bohai Sea in the east to the Gobi Desert, 2,500 kilometers away in the west.  There are 15 geographically important passes built along the route. The Great Wall is not a single-structured wall, it includes beacon towers, barriers, barracks, garrison stations, and fortresses along the walls, together forming an integrated defense system.
