The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in

Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from

west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it

reaches the sea.It is one of the wonders of the world.The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it

was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the

borders of the different kingdoms.It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent

parts into one empire.

To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the

walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk

side by side.Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch.Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any

modern machines.

All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under

the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of

the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese

but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous

Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

It is fine today. I made an appointment with my foreign friend Peter to visit the Great Wall on Badaling.

We set out early in the morning. We first took the subway and then the bus. On reaching the foot of the Great Wall, Peter was attracted by the landscape immediately."What a won der!" he said repeatedly and pulled me onto the cable car at once. We got a view of the beautiful scenery. After a while, we got to the Great Wall. Peter was very excited. He touched the bricks frequently. I explained to him when and how’ we Chinese built the wall. He listened with great interest. When we entered a turret, Peter was more curious. I told him what the turret was and what it was built for. "It was really an amazing achievement!" Peter gasped with admiration and took several photos. Unconsciously, we found we had reached the Stele of Brave Man, the symbol of the Great Wall. A lot of visitors gathered around it and took photos. I translated the words on the stele for Peter. "Only the one who can reach the Great Wall is a brave man." "Really?" Peter asked jokingly. We both laughed.

It the time to go back. We were fascinated by the scenery and reluctant to leave. We really had a pleasant time.

[游长城初三英语作文

我们来到长城脚下，发现通往长城的路上有些陡峭，像是在爬山一样。当我们走到长城的入口处时，我才发现万里长城是那么的名副其实，远远看去像一条黑龙盘踞在那里。呵，来爬长城的人可真不少啊！说着我便和爸爸妈妈一起向第一个烽火台进发。一路上，我们边走边拍照。长城上，人山人海。每到一个烽火台的地方，我们就得手拉手地走过去，以免走丢。当我们走到第四个烽火台的时候，长城上的风突然大了起来，人们的头发都飘了起来，有的人连帽子都被吹走了。于是，我们小心翼翼地爬上剩下的四个烽火台。当我站在长城的最高点时，看着长城下的一片绿色，心情非常轻松，把爬长城时的疲劳全部抛于脑后。

望着美丽的景色，我突然想起了在秦朝建造这座万里长城的人们，是他们用智慧和双手铸造的万里长城，所以这座万里长城在这片土地上屹立了几千年之久。

望着雄伟的景色，我突然想起了古代守卫国家的军士们。我想起了抗战时期，依靠顽强斗志的中华军民，他们保卫中国的国土，就是死，也不愿做日本人的奴隶。我又想起了现在站在国家边境线上军人们，他们日日夜夜守卫着边境，不让别国侵犯中国。

望着宏伟的景色，我想明白了，终于想明白了。坚强，可以战胜一切，而懦弱，只能接受失败。

今天，我们游览了世界闻名的古建筑奇迹——长城。

长城是中华民族的象征，它全长一万两千多里，是世界上最伟大的建筑之一。我们游览的是长城八达岭段。当车行到离八达岭不远处时，就已经看到了气势恢宏的长城，随着连绵起伏的山脉向远处曲曲折折地延伸，像一条龙在云雾缭绕的山峰中飞腾。长城上每隔一段距离就是一座烽火台，像一个个巨人手牵着手，担起了保卫中原大地的重任。

我们从长城脚下往上爬，长城并不像我想象的那样陡峭，而是由许多缓坡连接起来，在比较陡的地方都筑有阶梯，阶梯的两旁和中间还装有扶手，一点儿也不难爬。长城上人山人海，还有许多“老外”呢!在不知不觉中，我们已经爬到了第一个烽火，这里让我想起了“烽火戏诸侯”的故事。过了烽火台，我们又继续向上攀登，在山间云雾里，我隐隐约约看见对面的山上有用钢板做成的“同一个世界，同一个梦想”的标语牌。接着往上爬，我们看到了一座碉楼，爸爸说：“这是哨塔，古代哨兵就在这里放哨。”过了哨塔，我们就往回走，来到了“好汉碑”。好汉碑上有毛主席的题词——不到长城非好汉。我们全家在这儿留了个影，便回家了。

“不到长城非好汉”，今天我爬上了长城，我也当了一回好汉，真开心啊!

长城是我国的“世界遗产”之一，它像一条长龙盘旋在中国北方辽阔的土地上。凝结了中国古代劳动人民的血汗和智慧，是中国古代文明的象征。可是，现在的它，正在强颜欢笑，正在遭受了人们的摧残与破坏，已失去了它往日的辉煌与雄伟。

随着参观长城的游客越来越多，给长城带来了显而易见的破坏，例如：白色塑料袋、矿泉水瓶、果皮、纸屑等垃圾随处可见，严重地破坏了长城的卫生。游客还在城墙上乱涂乱画，弄得城墙狼狈不堪，破坏了长城的美观。当地村民还在垛口处和通往长城的小路上私自搭设梯子，设点收费，我为他们的行为感到羞耻。更可恶的是一些房地产开发商为自己的利益，不顾别人的劝阻，在长城周围建了很多建筑物，挖土机还在隆隆作响，铲车还在来回穿梭，忙得不可开交，不惜破坏了长城周围的景色，加速了长城周围自然景观的破坏……

站在长城上，扶着墙上的条石，耳边似乎响起了古代战争时的号角声，眼前似乎展现打战时气魄雄伟的场面。长城经历了无数次战争的洗礼和岁月的沧桑，至今还巍然屹立在我们面前。它以雄伟与壮观的景象吸引着无数前来参观的游客。它是我们古代劳动人民智慧的象征。所以，我们要保护长城。只要游客少扔一些垃圾，长城就会多一份美丽。因此，我要向大家呼吁:请大家保护我们古老的长城吧!让我们携起手来，从我们做起，从现在做起，做一个文明的游客。

我相信:只要你我的努力，古老的长城会永远雄伟壮丽的屹立在中国这辽阔的土地上。

远看长城，想一条长龙，在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。从东头的山海关到西头的嘉峪关，有一万三千多里。

从北京出发，不过几十公里就来到长城脚下。这一段长城修筑在八达岭上，高大坚固，是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖，十分平整，像很宽的马路，五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的成排的垛子，垛子上有方形的嘹望口和射击口，供嘹望和射击用。城墙顶上每隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台，是屯兵的堡垒。打仗的时候，成台之间可以互相呼应。

站在长城上，踏着脚上的方砖，扶着墙上的条石，很自然地想起古代修筑长城的劳动人民来。单看这数不清的条石，一块有两三千斤重。那时候没有火车、汽车，没有起重机，就靠着无数的肩膀无数的手，一步一步地抬上这陡峭的山岭。多少劳动人民的血汗和智慧，才凝结成这前不见头、后不见尾的万里长城。

这样气魄雄伟的工程，在世界历史上是一个伟大的奇迹。

It was pretty sunny last Monday , I , together with a few my alien friends and gusts cycled to your holley destination —— the Great Wall. To tell you the truth , we have been imagining visiting there for quite a long time , and eventually we fulfilled our dream .

After approximately one hour’s cycling , the grand splendid construction appeared in front of us . “our efforts count!” one of my foreign friends shouted stimulatedly. The Great Wall, which looks much likely a huge stationary dragon , lies silently on the beautiful , historical ground . “That’s regarded as the symbol of China ! ” I said proudly ,’It is one of the ten architecture miracles on the earth ! ’

With a delightful and modest sensation , we walked upwards the respectable construction , feeling the incredible intelligence of ancient Chinese architects and labours . In the process of climbing , I sincerely wish that China would become stronger and stronger.

We spent the whole afternoon on the wall , and no one felt like going back until too late in the evening . We do enjoy this significant journey !

The Great Wall of China, also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000, is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes. It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria.The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east, at the limit between China proper and Manchuria, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

中国的长城，在中国也被称为长城的10000，是中国古代的一个设防建造的第十四世纪末直到第十七世纪初，在明代，为了由蒙古人和突厥部落保护中国免受袭击。这是之前几个墙自公元前第三世纪的游牧部落来自地区现在的蒙古和满洲里的突袭建。壁延伸超过一个艰巨的6350公里(3946英里)，从东部渤海湾关山海，在中国和满洲里之间的界限，以罗布泊在新疆维吾尔族自治区东南部的部分。

The first major wall was built during the reign of the First Emperor, the main emperor of the short-lived Qin dynasty. This wall was not constructed as a single endeavor, but rather was created by the joining of several regional walls built by the Warring States. It was located much further north than the current Great Wall, and very little remains of it. A defensive wall on the northern border was built and maintained by several dynasties at different times in Chinese history. The Great Wall that can still be seen today was built during the Ming Dynasty, on a much larger scale and with longer lasting materials (solid stone used for the sides and the top of the Wall) than any wall that had been built before. The primary purpose of the wall was not to keep out people, who could scale the wall, but to insure that semi-nomadic people on the outside of the wall could not cross with their horses or return easily with stolen property.

第一主壁的第一个皇帝统治时期建造的，短命的秦朝的主要皇帝。这堵墙没有建造作为一个单一的努力，而是由几个区域的墙而建的战国加入了。这是位于更远的北部比目前的长城，很少遗骸它。在北部边境修建了防御城墙，在中国历史上不同时期几代保持。长城，今天依然可以看到建于明朝，一个更大的规模和较长的持久材料(固体石用于两侧和顶部的墙)比任何墙壁已建成之前。墙的主要目的是不让出来的人，谁能翻墙，但要保证在墙体的外侧半游牧民族，不能交叉的马匹或返回轻松赃物。

Look, the Great Wall looks like a long dragon, winding between mountains and mountains. From the shanhaiguan pass to the west end of jiayuguan, there are more than 13,000 li.

Now we have come to the foot of the Great Wall. This section of the Great Wall was built on badaling, and it was made of huge stones and bricks. The top of the wall was paved with square bricks, very flat, like a wide road, and five or six horses in parallel. The walls are lined with rows of two metres high, with squares on them. Mouth and mouth, for? Look and shoot. At the top of the wall, there was a square tower every three hundred meters, a fortress of soldiers, and at the time of battle, the towers of the city were able to echo each other.

Now we are standing on the Great Wall, with the square brick under foot, holding the stone on the wall, and you will naturally think of the ancient people who built the Great Wall. Single the countless stone, a piece of have two or three one thousand catties, at that time there were no trains, cars, no crane this steep ridge, rely on countless countless hands, shoulders to the time of the working people is great.

It is a great miracle in the history of the world.

Is the majesty of the Great Wall so magnificent that it does not make us deeply intoxicated? So lets do that for ourselves.

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten-thousand-Ii Great Wall" in Chinese.In fact, its more than 6000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries.The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up.Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtow-ers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world.Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

中国的长城

中国的长城汉语中常叫作“万里长城”。实际上它长6 ooo多公里。它从西到东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，跨过深谷，蜿蜒而行，最后直到海边。它是世界上的奇观之一。

长城有两千多年的历史。最早是在春秋时期开始修筑的。战国时期，各诸候国为了保卫自己的边境，分别修筑了更多的城墙。在秦朝时，秦国把各诸侯国统一起来，成为一个帝国。为了御敌于国门之外，秦始皇令人把所有的城墙连接起来。这样，长城就形成了。

长城上面很宽，足够五匹马或10个人并排而行。沿城墙有许多烽火台，过去常有士兵驻守。敌人来时，就点燃烽火，以通知其他士兵。

没有任何现代机器，要修筑这样一座长城是非常困难的。所有的工作都不得不用手来完成。成千上万的人死了，被埋在自己修建的城墙下面。长城不仅是用石头和土筑成的，而且也是用数以百万计的人的血肉筑成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自全世界各地的人们来说都是一处名胜。其中许多人都已知道这句中国名言：“不到长城非好汉”。
