Ancient. Historic. Magic. Its grandeur and beauty makes me wonder how the people of the ancient times manage to build the wall brick by brick. Only the wall knows. Only the wall witnessed. I felt the texture of the bricks, most of them faded, changed by the elements of the earth since 220-206 BC. Millions have already stepped on the place that I'm standing in. Before the walls are stained with bloody memories, but now, it brings good memories to the people. Like a time machine, it values the connection of the past and the present.
Climbing the Great Wall has always been my dream. And the moment I came to Beijing, I know, my dream is just within my reach(just an hour away).
2. Tiring. Maybe I just lack exercise. But almost all of the way up are very steep.
3. Fulfilling - This is my personal shot when I climbed up the Beacon. The Great Wall is circled around Beijing, so if I kept going, it would take me years to reach the finish line.
Happy Me. Dream Come True number 1 is accomplished. :d
