Longsheng County locates in Guilin 100 miles from the northwest; it is famous at home and abroad for its strange stones, beautiful rivers and the custom of the minority. In my opinion, Longji (the back of a dragon) terrace and Ailing hot spring attract me most.
Follow me, and start at dawn; On 6th January, 2006, we followed the tour guide Mr. Su and the driver Mr. Mo to Longsheng in a cold morning with the song happy old family.
We left Guilin by carriage at 8pm, the scenery beside the road was wonderful, the up-and-down mountains, even you could see maple leaves sprinkle in them, and hear the singing of birds and rivers.
As we closed to the hamlet, the path became steeper and steeper, especially at the across where 11km to Longsheng county, we entered a limited lane which was like a snake circled on the mountains and stretched far away. As we had met many sudden wheels, the road appealed us in the bus. We were afraid if we should fall out of the car? How could we enjoy the scenery in mood?
Oh, Longji terrace! You made me happy, make me sad.
At last, we reached the first station-----Pingan hamlet after two hours driving.

The guide Mr. Su told us that the terrace was built in Yuan Dynasty, its history could trace back to 800 hundred years ago. It was neither the donation of the nature, nor the building of some nobles, even not related to the religion, it was just made by the Zhuang, Yao and Dong minority people. It was the production of their hard work. It was said that the Longji terrace is the most splendid one of all. Over viewing it from afar, you could see the columns of smoke winding into the sky.
Because it was winter at that time, we could not enjoy its dainty in spring, either the cool in summer, nor its charming in autumn. However, the terrace in winter be endowed with another meaning. I likethe mountain here, and the custom here. My favorite was the terrace; it is the perfect mixture of nature and labor. It gave me unwritten shock by the great of nature and of the people The terrace was built on the waist of the mountain, the only way to outside was a stoney road, which was repaired by villagers from generation to generation. Every family has to do free work for three days. That is why we had the perfect stone road now. china hotel

The sun walked slowly in the sky, mountains all around stood solemnly. Instead, the mountains under the Great Wall put down their prideful heads. Sparse grass covered the soil of two sides of Great Wall, low vegetation formed a green illusion. It was the unique views from the mountains behind us every time we passed a signal fire platform. Meanwhile, the Great Wall turned on a fantastic scenery: blue sky, clouds, breeze, peaks, green trees, yellow soils, and ribbonlike roads all got together harmoniously. It was just a vivid picture.
During our climbing, there were slopes and steps. Was our life like that? Yes, absolutely! Because our life was full of adventures and wateriness. The epigraph of Mao chairman “If we fail to reach the Great Wall, We are no heroes.” we saw when we arrive at the No.8 northern building. And we paid the entrance fee, and then entered the picture area. Until we were not interested in taking photos, we reminded us that all extraordinary sighting was at peaks, and then I decently pick up my girlfriend’s hand, looked up to the peak. Absolutely, up-and-down peaks showed us the magnificent northern mountains, and all beautiful views were in our eyes.

After our pictures developed, I found that only the one which we took at the beginning could show the magnificence of the Great Wall, instead, those we took from various angles during our trip was just the evidence that we had been to the Great Wall. Maybe, only at the beginning, specially, at the basement of the history, can we appreciate the Great Wall seriously. Relatively, for my life, shall we see our life clearly at the beginning, while on the way, we lose because of the changing angles and exotic attractions?

We climbed towards the north. The foundation and the walls were built of stone blocks and bricks. As standing in the storms, bricks had begun to fade, and faint grey they were now. Various signature we found everywhere, on the walls, battlements, it seems as though the tourists would tell every body that they had been here. Names could exist with the Great Wall, while, could they exist with the history yet?
We had to climb up some high steps before we arrived at the No.2 northern building. There were about 100 steps and about 35 CM per step, so we climbed by my hands and feet. One of my colleagues told us that when he had been studying in Beijing, he often had climbed the Great Wall. And a guide had told him that one foreign young guy had climbed up the Great Wall every morning from No.1 northern building to No.8 northern building in a breath. I was astonished and kidding “I think our football national team should climb 5 times for very day’s training, so that they will energetic in the match.” We joked along ourtrip and forgot the sighting. Actually, so did our life! We passed over No.2 building and got to No.3 building, when we took a rest, I am looking back: The Great Wall was so magnificent that we were in its long-narrow embrace. It was filled with people at the beginning place. Wind come through from the battlement, blowing our T shirt，we felt a little cool..

This morning, we got up early, after we had breakfast, we got together and drove to the Great Wall. Our motorcade ran on the highway straightly towards Badaling. Not long after we passed Juyongguan, we arrived at the Great Wall.

Great Wall is the symbol of our China, extending for more than 12000 kilometers. It is one of the great building of the world. The Great Wall began its construction atQin Shihuang period, and subsequent dynasties continued to strengthen and extended the wall. The construction of Min dynasty reached the present magnificent scale. Badaling is the only part which is not only best preserved among the Min Great Walls, but also the representative one. This section with an altitude of 1015m, is the outpost of Juyongguan. Steepy and solid, hence it is always an important strategic place for wars. After entering the gate, we saw the Min dynastic cannons displayed at the two sides of steps. As they experienced lots of dynasties, old brown cannons stood stably, and they will still stand up to the flying time.

We hurried back from immortal hills of Ali，we were hesitated to go to the foot of Everest, because we had to pay for the environment, it would cost us four hundred yuan for our cross-country car, besides, the gate fee was more than one hundred Yuan a person, it was not a small expense in all. More over, Luosang persuaded us, “it is not a big deal to go to there, as it is a base camp after all for athletes. We won’t meet the athletes and will be regret to see nothing exciting if it is not fortunate. But if we live in Old calendar, we can live in a hotel where we can see the Everest from the window, actually not only Everest, but also other mountain peaks altitude over eight thousand meters.” I was hesitated. We came to Tibet from far away, should we really give up the chance in the condition that we spend large money? Should we change again to visit it? Other three members gave up the plan, so I had to follow them, as we were a team. Luosang was satisfied with our decision, and played the game of “count seven” and sang Tibetan songs that evening.
So we accommodated us in Old calendar which was four or five hours bus driving from Everest. It was clear that day, we went out to see the Everest. Pointing the peak far in front of us, some said it was Everest, some said it was Gasherbrum Friends Fung, and some said it was Xixiabangmafeng… later, we got on the bus, and discussed which peak it was. To be honest, I regret that we didn’t go to the foot of it, no matter how bad the weather was, and no matter how expensive the fee we had to pay, we should have visited them.
Everest, we were so close to you, but miss you in the end!!!
