風景掠影-The Great Wall

Great Wall of China, China
One of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Wall of China is a man-made structure that was constructed over two thousand years ago and took about 100 years to complete. The vastness of this project brings to light the immense capabilities of man.
中國 長城
作為世界的七大奇跡之一，中國的長城是人造的建筑，建于2000年以前，耗時100多年才竣工。這一工程規模的巨大讓人相信人類力量的偉大。

The constructions started in the 5th Century B.C. It is actually many walls put together and stretches over 4,000 miles and was constructed to protect the Chinese Empire from the Xiongnu people in the north. The wall was initially built of stone, grass, earth and wood, but bricks were used once the production started. It is believed that about 2-3 million Chinese died as part of this project.
該建筑始于公元前五世紀。實際上，長城是由許多的墻組成的一個整體，延綿4000多余里。建造長城是為了防止北方匈奴對帝國的騷擾。開始時，城墻是由石頭、牧草、泥土、木頭建造的，而磚塊是從一開始就用上了。人們相信，大約兩到三百萬人建造這一工程中死去。

小編心語：
俗話說，”不到長城非好漢”，長城，這座屹立于祖國大地上的長龍，凝聚著數代人的心血與寄托。當你迷醉于歐式古堡的建筑時，不要忘了，我們的長城，也一直張開的雙臂，等待你的一個擁抱！
