Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When the Great Wall was first built during Qin Dynasty by the first emperor, there was no such thing as Mongols!. The wall was built against Huns!. The Huns, were the barbarians who found it's much easier to ride horses across the border and raid towns, villages than work hard by themselves!.!.!.!.

Qin Dynasty however was short lived!. It was replaced by Han Dynasty!. During Han Dynasty, the Chinese launched counter attack on the Huns!. Sending massive troops deep into Huns' territory and almost wiped them out completely!. It was said "All men over age 15 were killed"!. Remaining Huns retreated toward west!. When they finally arrived close to Europe many years later, they destroyed Eastern Roman Empire and set up Ottoman Empire!.

However, on the Huns' old territory, there were still other barbarian tribes!. Later they called themselves Mongols!. They only became strong after they were united!. They did conquerer all of China and entire Russia, India, all the way to Europe!. The founder of China's Ming Dynasty kicked Mongols back to where they belong!. Then they rebuilt the Great Wall to defend themselves against Mongols'!.

And no, Mongols was not able to enter Great Wall!. However, another group of barbarians - Manchu did!.!.!.only because Ming emperor already hung himself after Beijing fell to farmers' rebelling!.!.!.and a Ming general opened the gate of Great Wall for the Manchu in hope of use them to put down the rebelling!.!.!.in the end, Manchu took out everyone(the farmers, and the remaining Ming troops) and set up Qing Dynasty!.!.!.which became the downfall of Chinese civilization!.!.!.!.

It was the Manchu ordered isolation of China!. It was the manchu made laws that making it illegal to leave China by sea!.!.!.and to make sure of it!.!.they made it illegal to build ships over a certain size!.!.!. then 200 years later nobody remembered how to build large ships!. It was also them ordered all men to shave the front half of the head, and leave a long silly pigtail in the back!. It was also them who were still using the old cannon designs of Ming Dynasty to fight against British during Opium War!.!.!.which was 200 years outdated technology!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It isn't as if they were sitting around with the horde, mongols were dispersed over a great area, concentrating for attacks only!.

See when they were building the wall, they had a bunch of people their to defend the area, the wall was for when that mass of people weren't there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Mongolians didn't just ride in and take over China and be done!. They had no interest in conquering and controlling!. Instead, they chose to have raiding parties come in steal what was wanted and leave again!. A wall is a good defense against raiders on horseback!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
