When I was in Beijing saw two things that I thought were amazing. One of the many great things I saw in China was the Water Cube and Birds Nest. These buildings are where they held the 2008 Olympic Games. The Water Cube is a pool used for all the water actives in the games. The Birds Nest is where they held the opening and closing ceremony it is also used for the track and field in the games.
I also traveled from Beijing to the Great Wall of China. This wall was built to prevent nomads from attacking the Chinese. It as well marked there territory. The wall stretches more than 5000 km from the seacoast to the east. The Great wall is one of the great 7 wonders of the world. I thought the wall was very hard to walk on because it was very steep and the steps were very high off the ground. Over all in my trip to China I had a pretty great trip.

I wondered how big the people were that built the wall. Big steps?
