Shanhaiguan in Hebei, the thousand-year beacon tower

I have always imagined what the boundaries of this world would look like, until I came to Shanhaiguan in Hebei. Standing here, I feel as if I can see the river of time rushing through the corridor of history. This ancient and magnificent pass is the pride of the Chinese nation, and a page of Chinese history. With reverence in my heart, I walked onto the ancient city wall. Above me, the vast blue sky; beneath me, the winding alleys. The significance of the Great Wall at Shanhaiguan is not just a defensive line, but also a living fossil of the history of resistance and border defense. The bloody battles, the valiant soldiers, all have left deep marks on this wall. My steps continue forward, and the scenery before me gradually becomes more expansive. Overlooking Shanhaiguan, I am stunned by the magnificent scenery surrounded by towering mountains. The Yellow River rushes past, stretching for thousands of miles, bringing endless vitality and prosperity to this land. Standing on Shanhaiguan and looking into the distance, I feel as if I could also become a brave general, galloping across the battlefield. Strolling under Shanhaiguan, one can see the beacon towers that have stood for thousands of years. They are towering dams, staring at the changing winds of history, carrying legendary times. The beacon towers are filled with magnificent poems, and every valiant soldier has shed blood and sweat for this land. Shanhaiguan also has a place that people yearn for, the vast coastal wetlands. In this vast expanse of green, I seem to feel the most primitive heartbeat of nature. The birds in the wetlands sing joyfully, and the lake shimmers. This is a paradise for flora and fauna, and a haven for people to relax. Standing on Shanhaiguan, I touch the traces of history. I can feel that the scars left by ancient history are all telling the story of the People's Liberation War, making me, a person born in an era of peace, rekindle respect for history. This silent wall outside the pass is also like a book, waiting for us to read.
