长城不仅是人类的伟大建筑工程（chángchéng bùjǐn shì rénlèide wěidà jiànzhù gōnɡchéng），更代表了中国人民的精神（gèng dàibiǎo le zhōngguó rénmín de jīngshén）。其中（qízhōng），八达岭长城是万里长城最具有代表性的部分（bādálǐng chángchéng shì wànlǐchángchéng zuìjùyǒu dàibiǎoxìng de bùfen）。站在八达岭上看整个长城高耸云端（zhànzài bādálǐng shàng kàn zhěnggè chángchéng gāosǒngyúnduān），从南到北盘踞在嘉峪关和居庸关上（cóngnándàoběi pánjù zài jiāyùguān hé jūyōngguān shàng），整个长城无边无际（zhěnggè chángchéng wúbiānwújì），一望无垠（yíwàngwúyín）。很多人登上长城（hěnduōrén dēngshàng chángchéng），用长城之歌来激励自己（yòng chángchéngzhīgē lái jīlì zìjǐ）。The Great Wall is not only the magnum opus of human being but also the soul of China! And the Badaling Great Wall is the eximious representation of The Great Wall. On the peak of the Badaling, the Great Wall is towering. It goes up to the South peak and north peak from the Guan city, convolves on the Ridge of Jundu Mountain. You can not see its beginning and end, it disappears beyond. So many people climbed it, felt inspirited, sang the praises of it and gasped in admiration……

China is ashopper'sparadise. But it's a shame to spend time trying to pick up things you forgot on your packing list rather than in themarketscruising for treasure.
