1 . The Great Wall in China is one of the greatest wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Different sections of the Great Wall have distinctive landscapes, and in this flower-blooming season, which one would you prefer to take a tour of?
Badaling Great Wall
The Badaling Great Wall is located in the northwest suburb of Beijing. It extends in all directions and therefore got its name as Badaling. Due to the strategic importance of Badaling, it was the place where the military fought in the past.
Mutianyu Great Wall
The Mutianyu Great Wall, 70 kilometers from urban Beijing, is known as the best part of the Great Wall. With a unique architectural style, it expresses the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644). The ancient architecture and the beauty of nature is blended into one harmonious whole, giving rise to Mutianyu’s reputation as having the most unique beauty anywhere along the ten-thousand-mile-long Great Wall.
Simatai Great Wall
For anyone intent on experiencing a section of the Great Wall that keeps a more antiquated air, the Great Wall at Simatai remains one of the best options. It is also the only section of the Great Wall that provides a night tour for tourists. It is said that since the Ming Dynasty, there has been a tradition that people holding palace lanterns visit this section.
Jiankou Great Wall
The Jiankou section is one of the most dangerous parts and mountain hikers usually call it “the wild Great Wall”. With a total length of 7,952 meters, the Jiankou Great Wall was built during the Ming Dynasty and was neglected, becoming damaged over time. It is much preferred by photographers due to its primitive appearance.

10 . Unlike a tourist, a traveler is someone who wants to experience another culture and avoid “tourist traps” and other less authentic experience.
Ask locals for advice. You don’t have to stop someone random on the street to get advice from a local.
Try free activities like riding bicycles and hiking. These types of activities are often overlooked during vacations because of the need to do everything “important” in any given city. However, biking around a city gives you a great view of the architecture and a sense for the city’s life and vibrancy.
Travel alone. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone by traveling alone and relying only on yourself and the friends you make during your trip. Sometimes, you’ll be making temporary friends, otherwise, they might be friends you stay in contact via social media or messaging.
| A．Research your travel destination and pack appropriately. |
| B．Similarly, hiking in forests and parks can be a beautiful and relaxing way to connect with the culture. |
| C．Study your travel destination before leaving |
| D．Ask your taxi drivers, bartenders, and hotel receptionists where they recommend. |
| E．Ask locals where they’re going, if they have any advice for things to do in the region, and about their experience in the area. |
| F．But sometimes, travelling alone and meeting someone else in a foreign place leads to a friendship that can last a lifetime. |
| G．To embrace the traveler in you, focus on the culture of the country or city you’re visiting and connect with locals for advice and new friendships. |
