we set out early in the morning. we first took the subway and then the bus. on reaching the foot of the great wall, peter was attracted by the landscape immediately."what a won der!" he said repeatedly and pulled me onto the cable car at once. we got a view of the beautiful scenery. after a while, we got to the great wall. peter was very excited. he touched the bricks frequently. i explained to him when and how' we chinese built the wall. he listened with great interest. when we entered a turret, peter was more curious. i told him what the turret was and what it was built for. "it was really an amazing achievement!" peter gasped with admiration and took several photos. unconsciously, we found we had reached the stele of brave man, the symbol of the great wall. a lot of visitors gathered around it and took photos. i translated the words on the stele for peter. "only the one who can reach the great wall is a brave man." "really?" peter asked jokingly. we both laughed.
it the time to go back. we were fascinated by the scenery and reluctant to leave. we really had a pleasant time.
as the saying gose:"he who has never been to the great wall is not a true man.".today,i came to one of the seven wonders of the world---"the great wall".it is a tourist attraction which is famous both at home and abroad.since time immemorial,many men of literature and writing left commendatory poems here.after the overhaul,it shows us a brand-new look at present which attracts more tourists from various of countries.
today,my father brought me to the the great wall at badaling.i know that the great wall at badaling is interlocking stretching and undulating on the far-flung land of our great motherland.it looks like a megalosaurus cross the lofty peaks,go through grassland,stride over big deserts and run to the sea.i also know that more than twenty countries had built the great wall including qin dynasty, han dynasty and ming dynasty.at present,there are still much ancient great wall and beacon towers existing in xinjiang,gansu,ningxia,shanxi,beijing and so on.
