Route 1 Great Wall of China + Olympic venues
Description:
Do you know why the Great Wall of China is the most epic fence in history? Apparently, the ancient Chinese decided that if you put a fence, then so that the neighbors would ask: “Are you serious?”
Imagine a dialogue between two builders 2,200 years ago:
- Listen, can't you stop? The wall is already long... - Oh, come on! We need to extend a couple of thousand kilometers - let the descendants be proud! But what if the enemies get over it? Then we will give them a sign: Welcome! You spent 3 years on this.”
The Great Wall of China is actually:
21,000 km of architectural perfectionism
a thousand-year project, which is constantly “made” (a classic example of “work in progress”);
a building that was built from everything that was at hand: stone, brick, rammed earth - and even glutinous rice in solution (this is a really “tasty” story);
A system with fortresses, watchtowers and signal points is almost like the ancient Internet, only instead of likes - smoke signals.
Although the wall was not one hundred percent protection (nomads sometimes found workarounds), it perfectly coped with the main task: to inspire awe. Today, it is a UNESCO site and a major symbol of China – and yes, tourists are still trying to find the “last brick” to put it in and become part of history.
