Climbing the Great Wall

Climbing the Great Wall

The Great Wall is a collective term for the vast military engineering that ancient China built at different times to resist the invasion of the Saibei nomadic tribes. The Great Wall stretches thousands of miles, so it is also known as the Great Wall. The Great Wall was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago. The existing remains of the Great Wall are mainly built in the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century. According to the data released by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2019, the total length of the Great Wall was 21,196.18 kilometers. The National Cultural Relics Bureau published the survey data of the Great Wall in 2019. The total length of the Great Wall of China is 8851.8 kilometers. The Great Wall is a great miracle created by the working people of ancient China and a testimony to China's long history. It is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages with the Colosseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In December 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site.

I dreamed that I would climb the Great Wall one day and look at the great rivers and mountains in the world. Today I can finally dream. My mother turned out to be two tickets like the Magic Magic, and it is a high-end luxury sleeper ticket. Beijing, I can't believe my eyes, and what I dreamed of was finally realized. The heart is full of happiness and excitement. The car started slowly, and my heart jumped up with excitement. The car was driving on a wide asphalt road. I was lying in the car and "sitting up". From time to time, I watched the scenery outside the window. Every moment is changing, and soon I went to Hebei, and soon I went to Tianjin. It was already 12 o'clock in the morning, but I still have no sleep. I saw two big characters, Huang Wei, and my mother said that the car has entered Tianjin. Tianjin, referred to as Tianjin, the municipality directly under the Central Government, China's national central city, the North China Economic Center, the Bohai Rim Economic Center, the North China International Shipping Center, the North China International Logistics Center, the international port city and eco-city, the international shipping financing center, China Traditional Chinese Medicine Research and Development Center, Asia-Pacific Regional Marine Instrument Testing and Evaluation Center. Tianjin is located in the northern part of the North China Plain. Since ancient times, it has risen since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Ming Yongle officially built the city on November 21st. It is the only city in ancient China with a record of the exact time of city construction. After more than 600 years of experience, especially in modern times, it has created a unique urban style that is compatible with Tianjin and China. "Modern China sees Tianjin" has become the consensus of the world. Tianjin is located at the confluence of the five major tributaries of the Haihe River in the North China Plain. It borders the Bohai Sea in the east and Yanshan in the north. The Haihe River passes through the city. The Haihe River is the mother river of Tianjin. Tianjin Binhai New Area is known as “the third growth pole of China's economy”. Tianjin is the resident city of the Summer Davos Forum. The history and culture of Tianjin is really too long. Our car continues to move forward. We see more colorful neon lights and colorful skyscrapers. This fully illustrates that Tianjin is a developed and prosperous city. Ours The car continued to move forward. It was already one o'clock in the morning. The car still had three hours to reach my dream Beijing. I finally couldn't restrain myself. After a while, the car stopped on a boulevard in Haidian District. At midnight in Beijing, there was a drizzle of light rain, and the colorful neon lights outside the window were particularly dazzling. It was already four o'clock, and we started the day with a little rest.

At five o'clock in the morning, we drove to the downstairs of Tiananmen Square. Although it was just five o'clock in the morning, there were already tourist vehicles from all over the country gathered here. We circled around Tiananmen Square. Tiananmen Square is located in the center of Beijing, China. The southern end of the Forbidden City is opposite to Chang'an Street in Tiananmen Square. It is the main entrance of the Imperial City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The designer is the master architect of the Ming Dynasty. Tiananmen Square was built in the fifteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It was called Chengtianmen. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Tiananmen. On October 10, 1925, the National Palace Museum was established, and Tiananmen Square began to open to the public. On October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was held here. It was designed into the national emblem and became one of the symbols of the People's Republic of China. In 1961, Tiananmen Square was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Tiananmen Gate is really big! I am amazed at the grandeur of this tower! Due to the crowded cars, we did not see the flag-raising ceremony at close range. But it is very happy to be able to come to Beijing to play! There are opportunities to see the flag raising. I don’t care if I don’t look at it today.

We went to Juyongguan Great Wall for the first time. Juyongguan Great Wall is a famous ancient customs city along the Great Wall of Beijing and a national cultural relics protection unit. It is a national AAAA level scenic spot assessed by the Beijing Tourism Bureau. Located in the canyon 20 kilometers north of Changping County, 60 kilometers away from Beijing and 20 kilometers away from the Badaling Great Wall, the terrain is dangerous. It is an important relationship between the Great Wall and the ancient working people who used their blood to block the passage of the Xiongnu. I have heard a lot of sighs here. In that era, the Great Wall can already be called a feat. We look back at a series of wars that occurred in that era. Every war is a victory or defeat of both sides, but I believe that as long as you work hard It will surely bear fruit of fruitful results. Victory and defeat are commonplace in the military. You should not put victory and defeat in your heart. As long as you fight for the enemy on the battlefield, even if you are dead and wounded, you are also a successful general. We are starting to leave. The road on the Great Wall is steep and rugged. If you are a little careless, you will fall a big one. I can imagine how hard it was for people who built the Great Wall in that era to manually move the marble blocks by hand. Slowly moving forward, there is a guardrail on the Great Wall that allows me to grab the guardrail and climb up. After climbing for a while, my mother is tired and tired. To make out of breath, but I would like to climb if Beijing is not in vain this tour yet? I made up my mind to climb up. On the way up, I met a foreign tourist. I warmly greeted him and invited him to take photos with me. This is a testimony of friendly exchanges between China and foreign countries. I did not expect this to be a very meaningful trip. In that era, the Great Wall was used to resist the construction of the Huns. It played an important military defense role against foreign enemies. However, the Great Wall has become an important holy place for cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. The concept of peaceful coexistence has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The ancient building of the Great Wall is now the best witness to people living in harmony. The great mountains and rivers of the motherland are unstoppable for sightseeing. Let us try to explore together from now on!
