Coming down from the original name of Meishan and Jingshan, now called Long live mountain, it passes through the entire Forbidden City and comes out from the main entrance.
I saw stalls selling small handicrafts from Beijing on both sides of the road.
There are bracelets and chains made of crystal and jade, rings made of agate, small pendants made of Shoushan stone and Hetian jade, craft paintings and so on.
Anyway, there are all kinds of small handicrafts that are so beautiful that you can’t think of them, and there is nothing that others can’t make.
Zhu Houzhao in this life is different from his previous life. He is not the kind of person who likes to spend money randomly, eat a bowl of food and throw away a bowl. It can even be said that he can still be more economical, but he is not stingy when it comes to spending.
Just like now, when I see many tourists coming out of the Forbidden City, the vendors start shouting at the top of their lungs, "Take a look, take a look, pass by, don't miss it..."
Many tourists in the team were attracted by the shouting and walked over.
Zhu Houzhao also had a fragile heart. When he heard people shouting like this, he felt itchy and panicked. He thought to himself, he might as well go with the crowd and buy something as a souvenir! Otherwise, his trip to the capital would be in vain.
Besides, it’s not easy for vendors to earn a little money. They wake up earlier than a chicken, go to bed later than a dog, and are as tired as an ox. Besides, a small handicraft doesn’t cost much.
Zhu Houzhao didn't have many requirements for small handicrafts, as long as the price was affordable. As for the grade and quality, it didn't matter. However, when Zhu Houzhao walked into a stall, he was immediately dazzled by the dazzling array of various small handicrafts.
"Handsome, what kind of handicraft do you want?" Zhu Houzhao was looking around at the stall. Just when he was wondering what handicraft he should choose, the girl setting up the stall started to greet him.
Looking at this girl with a sweet smile, Zhu Houzhao said to himself that these businessmen really know how to talk. No matter what they look like, the men are all handsome and the women are beauties.
"Get me a bracelet." As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he noticed that not only the girl who just called him handsome covered her mouth, but also several people next to him looked at him in surprise. Some of them reacted quickly. The person already wanted to laugh.
However, the girl at this stall immediately stopped laughing and asked quickly: "What quality do you want, and how fine is it?"
Zhu Houzhao knew why they were laughing, but he really didn't know anything about the quality and quality of the bracelet, so he could only say: "I don't have any requirements for the quality or quality, as long as it can hang on my hand."
It turned out that he was a country bumpkin. The people around him immediately understood that this young man in ordinary clothes was a country bumpkin.
The most important thing for people nowadays when buying bracelets is probably whether they can be hung. Are there bracelets that cannot be hung? What people are looking for are the fineness, quality, and whether the appearance is dazzling or not...
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, the girl who set up the stall immediately lost her previous enthusiasm. Just a bracelet, like the one strung with wooden beads, cost two or three dollars, and she couldn't make any money at all.
Zhu Houzhao had met countless people in his previous and present lives, so he could tell what was going on in this girl's mind just by looking at her face, but he didn't care. Who doesn't want to make a lot of money in business.
The girl finally took out a crystal bracelet from the stall and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Crystal bracelets are warm in winter and cool in summer. They are very comfortable to wear and the price is not high. They are suitable for you, sir."
This one costs 80 yuan.
Although there are two or three bracelets strung with ocean and wooden beads, the girl still wants to make some money. See if Zhu Houzhao wants to lower the price if it is too expensive. If not, she will get the cheapest one.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, took out a 100-yuan foreign note and threw it to the girl and said, "Then I want this one. It's hard for you to have the extra money, so I'll give it to you as a tip."
The girl running the stall almost couldn't catch her breath. The person in front of me was still a young fashionista. Not only was it not too expensive to buy such a bracelet, she even gave him a tip of twenty yuan. If I had known to introduce him earlier, Buy an expensive one and maybe he will want it too.
Thinking of this, the girl quickly said: "Sir, do you want a better bracelet, such as one made of jade, agate or Hetian jade..."
However, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhu Houzhao, "Hurry up and help me, I still have something to do."
Zhu Houzhao had just bought something, "Bi, Bi, Bi!" the tour guide's whistle started blowing.
''Attention those from other places participating in the inspection of cultural and historical sites in Beijing and Chengdu, we are now gathering at the entrance of the Forbidden City to get on the bus, and the next stop is the Badaling Great Wall!"
As soon as the tour guide blew his whistle, everyone eagerly followed the tour guide who was walking ahead holding a small flag and got on the tour bus waiting at the entrance of the Forbidden City.
After everyone got on the bus, the tour guide counted the number of people. When he saw that everyone was here, he gave the order and the driver drove the car towards the Badaling Great Wall at lightning speed!
Badaling Great Wall, deep in the continuous mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, is extremely mysterious and attracts an endless stream of tourists.
The tourist bus stopped at the foot of the ridge, and everyone anxiously followed the tour guide through the crowds of people and climbed up to the Great Wall on the ridge.
The tour guide introduced to everyone while climbing: "The Badaling Great Wall is an important part of the Great Wall, a great defense project in ancient China. It has the oldest history, the richest culture, and the most magnificent architecture among the thousands of famous passes in the Great Wall. , the most spectacular scenery, the greatest reputation, and the most complete and essential section.
The tour guide continued: "The Badaling Great Wall is an important outpost of Juyongguan. It is a strict defense system with connected city gates, facing each other's forts, heavy city guards, and beacon fire alarms. It was said in ancient times that "the danger of Juzu is not in the pass but in Badaling." Here The mountains overlap and the situation is dangerous. The extremely majestic city wall spirals from north to south and extends among the mountains with no end in sight. Its superb architectural skills and immortal artistic value fully reflect the wisdom and strength of the working people of ancient China.
The construction of the Badaling Great Wall began in the 30th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1551). It was built with rammed earth, stones, external strips of stone and bricks, and white ash.
It took more than thirty years to finally complete the city. The entire city is in the shape of an irregular rectangle, slightly bulging in the middle, and slightly tapered at both ends. It is built according to the mountain, and the northern city is built on the middle of the mountain. The entire city is 510 meters from east to west and 185 meters wide from north to south. It is shaped like a boat. The city covers a total area of about 83,000 square meters. The city wall is 8.5 meters high and has a trapezoidal plane. Most of the wall tops are wide and flat, allowing five horses to ride abreast and ten people to ride abreast.
The entire city is made of stone bricks, lime, and mud. There are horse paths on the city. The outer walls are equipped with crenels, observation holes, and nozzles. There are 2 beacon towers on the south city wall, equipped with cannon barrels 2.85 meters long and 105 caliber. Millimeters, powerful iron cannons with a range of more than a kilometer, as well as divine arrows, iron rods, and thousands of large and small stones.
The Badaling Great Wall is also equipped with 43 watch towers, which can be used for defense and attack in the event of war. These enemy towers are similar in shape but have their own characteristics. There are wall platforms for patrolling and sentrying, and enemy towers on the upper and lower floors. The upper floors are surrounded by crenels, shooting holes, and lookout points. The lower floors are for soldiers to stay and store rations, water, and weapons. , ammunition and other strategic supplies, as well as water spouts. The watchtowers are all designed according to the mountain and terrain. They are masonry structures and have ladders for going up and down.
Finally, everyone climbed up the Great Wall panting and sweating. Standing on the Great Wall and looking around, the sky was exceptionally blue, and the mountains that looked like indigo turned into solid blue waves, and white clouds were swimming in the mountains. The maple leaves all over the mountains and plains are so bright and red, very spectacular. Together with the Great Wall that winds on the top of the mountains and looks like a swimming dragon, it forms a majestic and spectacular scene, as if it is a majestic. Ink painting.
Standing on the top of Xiongguan, you can see the Great Wall leaping over the mountains, the blue sky and green trees, and the cool mountain breeze, which makes people feel so relaxed and happy.
