Ch'ŏlli changsŏng

The Korean name ''Ch'ŏlli changsŏng literally means the "Thousand Ri Wall", a reference to the Great Wall of China whose Chinese name is the "Ten-Thousand" or "Countless Li Wall". The second wall is also known in Korean as the Goryeo Jangseong'' ("Great Wall of Korea"). ==Goguryeo period==

After Goguryeo's victory in the Goguryeo–Sui Wars, in 631 Goguryeo began the fortification of numerous military garrisons after the Tang dynasty, the successor to the Sui in China, began incursions from the northwest. Its construction was supervised by Yŏn Kaesomun during the reign of King Yeongnyu. The preparation and coordination was completed in 647, after which Yŏn Kaesomun took control of the Goguryeo court in a coup. The network of fortresses ran for approximately 1000 li in what is now Northeast China, from Buyeoseong () (present-day Nong'an County) to the Bohai Bay. The most important of the garrisons were as follows: • Bisa (; present-day Jinzhou County in Dalian) • Geonan (; present-day Gaizhou) • Ansi (Goguryeo: 안촌홀 (安寸忽, , near present-day Haicheng in Anshan Prefecture) • Baegam (; in present-day Dengta County of Liaoyang prefecture) • Yodong (; just to the east of present-day Liaoyang) • Gaemo (; present-day Fushun, Shenyang) • Hyeondo () • Shin (, present-day Fushun) • Buyeo (; present-day Nong'an County in Jilin) ==Goryeo period==

A second Ch'ŏlli changsŏng is the stone wall built from 1033 to 1044, during the Goryeo dynasty, in the northern Korean peninsula. It is roughly 1000 li in length, and about 24 feet in both height and width. It connected the fortresses built during the reign of Emperor Hyeonjong, passing through these cities, • Uiju () • Wiwon () • Heunghwa () • Jeongju () • Yeonghae () • Yeongdeok () • Yeongsak () • Jeongyung () • Yeongwon () • Pyeongno () • Sakju () • Maengju () • Unju () • Cheongsae () • Ansu () • Yeongheung () • Yodeok () • Jeongbyeon () • and ending at Hwaju (). King Deokjong ordered Yuso to build the defenses in response to incursions by the Khitan of the northwest and the Jurchen of the northeast. It was completed during the reign of Emperor Jeongjong. It ran from the mouth of the Yalu River to around Hamheung of present-day North Korea. Remnants are still extant, including in Ŭiju and Chŏngp'yŏng. ==See also==
