I CLIMBED THE GREAT WALL!

I LOVE BEIJING! A city full of history. Historical buildings and memories can be found at almost every corner. I'm proud of being a Chinese when climbing along The Great Wall, and proud of our ancestor who fight in the World War, while also felt very sad when thinking about people who die when building The Great Wall.

Beijing is full of culture, newspaper stalls and book shops in almost every corner of street, even inside every underground train stations.

People are friendly and helpful, I encounter many helps when I lost my way. I remember clearly how a local girl brought me to the train station (not only pointing the way), she was rushing to her office in the morning, which was opposite way to the train station.

More photo memories on Beijing will be put here, hope to share with you how lovely this place is!

    I saw a photo of the Tian-Tan on a wall calendar in the office at my uni but forgot to ask where it was. Thanks for sharing.

    Beijing looks like a wonderful city to visit. I'd love to see the historical palaces and monuments, and walk along the Great Wall of China.
