Beijing 3.1 - The Great Wall-

The great wall of China, the "NEW" Seven Wonders of the world. Some believe that this is the only human made structure visible from the outer space. Its proven wrong by China very own TAIKONUTS! Not visible from outer space doesn't make the Wall less meaningful. The great wall suppose to be long, tens thousand of miles long and yes, I don't think anyone did walk the distance and I don't suppose I can too. So the tour brought us to Badaling Wall (sounds like Petaling Walls), a minor part of the walls that has been maintain and restore by the government.

The wall is actually a symbol of suffering, millions died building and defending it. Its a reminder for human kind, the cruelty of wars. the steps of the wall aren't of standards size and length, I am sure workers and soldiers of ancient time has difficulty maneuvering around the wall. Some steps are almost 2feet high and narrow. This is the only part of the thousands miles that still in good condition, some actually has ruined. Very similar to climbing Mt.Kinabalu... TOUGH!There were stalls setup, selling certificate for RMB20 to certify that you have climb the Great Wall with a pix of you in it! BUT the certificate isn't recognized in the WHOLE CHINA! LOL! AND you can actually buy it some where else without climbing the wall.

hooooray! my 3rd 7even wonders of the world! 5more to go!
