Trekking the Great Wall - China Documentary

Ойын-сауық

Exploring the great Wall of China has become the lifetime obsession of British historian William Lindesay. In this 50-minute special, Lindesay travels from one end of China to another to show us how and why the Wall was built, how its construction differs according to region-and how it is really many walls built by different dynasties, and not one single Wall.

    Still to this day I'm not able to fully comprehend how gigantic of project that is. I dont think the world will see anything quite like this in the future when it comes to its sheer size and scale. Truly remarkable.

    This documentary has made me feel horribly homesick for China, even though I had immigrated to the US at 4 (I'm 37). I have to admit to feeling a little jealous of Mr. Lindesay for getting to make it his permanent home.

    The section of the wall I've visited was in the area that has been rebuilt about 30 miles outside Beijing. Climbing the wall is a lot more of an athletic event than one would imagine and the irregularity of the steps and the angle of climb can make you glad for the handrails. There was a monument commemorating the building of the wall that included the workers who built it. Xie Xie!

    If it was standard practice for non-skilled wall builder's to erect a plaque to commemorate their families contribution, wouldn't you expect to find these all over the place? It's a bit suss if it's the only one they have.
