THE GREAT WALL
 Beijing
The Great Wall is the ethnic
symbol of China and is one of the
greatest wonders of the world. Just like a gigantic dragon, The Great Wall winds up and down
across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus stretching
approximately 6,700 kilometers. A famous folk tale about the Wall says "You are not a man if you have not been to the Great
Wall."
Is Chinas
most famous and most mythical site. It belongs not only to
China, but is part of the cultural heritage of the whole world.
Great Wall was originally built at the Warring States Periods
as a defensive point by the three states: Yan, Zhao and Qin. Later
on is repairs from the later dynasties. In fact, it began as
independent walls for different states an till that Emperor Qin
Shihuang succeeded in his effort to have the walls joined together
to fend off the invasions from the Mongolians Huns in the north
after the unification of
China. When you visit the Great Wall is like you travel through the
history backwards.

What The New Age Traveler Says...?
 Beijing The Great Wall,
Is
one of the places in the world that makes travellers to understand
why they travel... and that was how exactly I felt when I first look
at it. The majestic Great Wall was built with wisdom, dedication,
blood, sweat and tears. It has been estimated that somewhere in the
range of 3 million Chinese died as part of the centuries long
project of building the wall.
During the journey
on the
Great Wall we had good views of
the scenery, rice paddy fields in some parts, views of mountains in
others.
For me Great wall was a
journey back in time.
