Ever wondered why the Great Wall tops every “must-visit” list for China? 🌏 In the latest episode of CGTN’s Ask China, Liu Qi, a doctoral candidate at the Communication University of China, spills the tea on this iconic wonder – and it’s way more than just ancient bricks!
Standing at the Juyongguan section, Liu explains how the Wall isn’t just a relic of the past. 🏮 “It’s a bridge connecting China to the world,” he says, tracing its 2,300-year history from warring states to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fun fact: If stretched out, the Wall’s total length could circle the Earth *twice*! 🌍✨
But here’s the real vibe: Liu urges travelers to create their own stories here. Whether you’re snapping sunset selfies or hiking rugged trails, the Wall’s legacy lives through every visitor. Ready to add your chapter? 🥾📸
