He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man

Among the steep mountains of Beijing, the Badaling Great Wall is like a world-famous dragon, proclaiming that one who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man. The Great Wall should be a must-visit spot when coming to Beijing. The Badaling Great Wall presents itself to the world with a majestic and spectacular posture. From a distance, it appears like a slumbering giant dragon, with the ancient walls bearing the vicissitudes of time and the thickness of history. Setting foot on the Great Wall, a surge of heroic emotion spontaneously arises. Each stone underfoot seems to be telling the stories of the past. The architectural craftsmanship of the Great Wall is astonishing. The huge stones are stacked layer upon layer, and despite the erosion of wind and rain, they remain as solid as ever. It bears witness to the wisdom of the ancient working people and symbolizes the tenacious spirit of the Chinese nation. Climbing the Badaling Great Wall is a challenge to oneself, step by step to witness the wisdom of the ancient people. The Great Wall has its own unique charm in every season: in spring, the mountains are blooming; in summer, the trees provide cool shade; in autumn, the maple leaves are like fire; in winter, the snow is pristine. The Badaling Great Wall is not just an architectural wonder, but also a symbol of the spirit of the Chinese nation. It inspires countless people to forge ahead. Families with children who really cannot climb can take the cable car up and then walk down slowly, which also allows them to feel the grandeur of the Great Wall.
