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..
