中夏 (China) - 京剧 (Beijing)






When in Beijing, I also visited a very very small part of the immense Great Wall of China. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers (4,163 miles ) from east to west of China. Its construction started during Ancient Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring Stated Period (770-221 B.C.) until the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the section of the great wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared.

I was there!!

I climbed the Great Wall!!
