Travels of the Great Wall: 280 words

Today, we visited the Great Wall, a world-famous ancient architectural miracle.

The Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese nation. It is 12000 miles long and is one of the greatest buildings in the world. We visited the Badaling section of the Great Wall. Not far from Badaling, the garage has already seen the majestic Dragon City, which meanders in the distance with the continuous mountains, flying like a dragon among the misty peaks. Every other distance on the Great Wall is a beacon tower, holding hands like a giant, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the land of the Central Plains.

We climbed up from the foot of the Great Wall. The Great Wall is not as steep as I thought, but is made up of many gentle slopes. The steps are built in steep places, and handrails are installed on both sides and in the middle of the steps. It's not difficult to climb. The Great Wall is crowded with people, and there are many "old foreigners"! Unconsciously, we have climbed to the first bonfire, which reminds me of the story of Waiting for the Bonfire. After the beacon tower, we continued to climb. In the mountain fog, I vaguely saw the placard of "One World, One Dream" made of steel plates on the opposite mountain. Then we climbed up and saw a watchtower. Dad said, "This is the watchtower, where ancient sentries stood guard." After the sentry tower, we walked back and came to the "Monument to Heroes". There is an inscription by Chairman Mao on the Monument to Heroes-You are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall. Our family took a photo here and went home.

You are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall. Today, I climbed the Great Wall and became a hero. How happy I am!
