The Great Wall of Badaling: A Mark of History, A Treasure of Humanity

On the vast land of our motherland, the Great Wall of Badaling is like a giant dragon, winding on the continuous mountains, witnessing the vicissitudes and glory of history. As a tourist, I stepped on this magnificent ancient city wall with full of awe and curiosity, trying to explore the story and meaning behind it. I chose to go to the Great Wall of Badaling by Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed rail on a clear morning in winter. When the train slowly left Beijing North Station, the scenery outside the window gradually became vast and broad. Soon, I arrived at the Great Wall of Badaling Station. The platform is about 1.8 kilometers away from the scenic area. You can choose to walk or take a free shuttle bus to the entrance of the scenic area. I chose to walk, wanting to feel the atmosphere of this ancient place more authentically. Entering the scenic area, the first thing that caught my eye was the tall and solid enemy towers. They are distributed on the ridge in a staggered manner, as if showing the grandeur and craftsmanship of ancient engineering. I walked along the city wall and felt the heaviness and solemnity of history. Every stone, every brick seam, tells the vicissitudes and changes of the years. The majesty and danger of the Great Wall of Badaling reminded me of ancient wars and frontier scenery. This was an important channel of the ancient Silk Road and a battleground for the military. Standing on the Great Wall, I seemed to feel the hardship and tenacity of the ancients when they built this great project. They used their hands and wisdom to create this world-class miracle, which is admired and admired by later generations. I stayed on the Great Wall for nearly three hours. Although the cold wind was biting, the excitement and emotion in my heart made me forget the cold. I marvel at the magnificence of nature and the depth of history, and I am also moved by those who silently contribute to the protection of the Great Wall. When I left, my heart was full of respect and emotion. This unforgettable journey gave me a deeper understanding and experience of the Great Wall of Badaling. The Great Wall of Badaling is a memory of history and a treasure of human civilization. It teaches us to cherish history, respect culture, and draw strength and wisdom from it. As a Chinese, I am proud to have such a great historical relic, and I hope more people can come here to feel the charm and power of history.
