The World From Below and Above – (included in must visit list)
On a
beautiful morning, the streets in Beijing bustled with noise. Tourists were preparing to load two waiting buses that will
take them to the starting point of the Great Wall. Their faces show just how
much excitement they’re trying to hold! Soon after, the two buses sped side by
side through traffic, but to these lively passangers,
the trip must have felt a
couple hours longer. In the buses, a briefing
took place, and it looked like they were well informed and prepared for what
people consider as one of a great physical challenge. Then, as the buses came
to a halt, people were
already stumbling their way out. A thick and cold air surrounded the tall
hills, and these travellers were seen
shivering from head to toe, even under several layers of clothes. Up in the
distant, circling the hills like a rusty colored snake, the Great Wall of China
stood absolutely still; quiet like a dead rock. It was taunting them, perhaps, asking to be
conquered within the day. The role of the Great Wall nowadays is only as a tourist attraction, a
minor role compared to its old use. In ancient times, it was ordered to be
built by the emperor of China. His purpose was to prevent Mongolians from
entering the China territory. It the wall hadn’t been built, China would have
been in war with the Mongolians. It is now a magnificent attraction to many due
to its never ending length, which to many is an impressive feat completed by meer hands of
simple humans
from thousand years ago. It is also one of the Wonders on Earth, and the view
from both below and above the Walls is fascinating. Like a strange
new world, a new atmosphere seem to form in the sight of its beholders.
Everything was double the beauty and majestic; words just couldn’t describe the
lightweight feeling when looking down and above a marvelous view. When exploring China’s
cultural destinations, you would find every single scenery just wonderful. To
me, one of the sources of this “wonder” is
none other than the Great Wall of China. Those is search for a beautiful sight, should definitely
and without doubt take your family and close relatives and bring them to enjoy
a day in one of China’s ancient and historical sites. It is guaranteed that fun and
amazement will come your way. Prepare to be amazed..
