Meng Jiangnu Shakes the Great Wall

Before Qin Dynasty in ancient China, many northern vassal States of Zhou Dynasty (1100B.C.-256B.C.) built some defensive walls against minorities invaders in their own states, then, as the first Emperor Qin Shi Huang united the whole China and realized these defensive walls are not effective to anti minorities invasion, so he launched a grandiose project of linking the various defensive walls in north of China, what was to become known as the Great Wall, that also was the start of our story.

Wan Xiliang, the husband of Meng Jiangnu, was seized on the night of their wedding, and became one of the 500.000 labourers to build the Great Wall for Qin shi huang Emperor. Before they parted, Meng broke her hairpin of white jade into two parts, and gave half to Wan Xiliang with the words”My heart is as white and pure as this jade，keep this half and you will feel that I am with you, and I will wait for your until you back”.

As the rough environment, tough work and merciless overseers, thousands upon thousands of labourers died of overwork and maltreatment, as well as poor Wan Xiliang. Some ancient books wrote that:”The ditches were filled with corpses; piled-up skeletons supported one another”.

However, Meng Jiangnu didn’t know what happened to her husband, and as the autumn came and the birds began to fly south, she recalled that her husband left with thin clothing, so she made some padded clothes and started her journey to find her wife.

One day, on a mountain road to the Great Wall, she fainted for hungry and exhausted. When she regained consciousness, she found that she was lying on a comfortably heated brick bed and a white-haired old woman was taking care of her, and no hesitate to continue her journey with the old woman accompanied. When Meng jiangnu decided to say thanks and bye to this old woman after three days and nights, but when she turned back to her, she found the old woman disappeared. (The old woman was an immortal who was moved by Meng’s devotion and came to earth to help her)

One day, in the mountains, Meng Jiangnu lost her way and was wandering around; at that time she heard a flock of wild geese that seemed to be beckoning her, so she followed them and finally find the way to Great Wall.

There, what she saw was the numerous workers dressed in rags and reduced to skin and bones. However, after shouted her husband until her voice was hoarse and the wall have shaken, she found no sign of her husband. In great despair she knelt by the wall and wept for three days and three nights, some sections of the Great Wall collapsed and the bones of the Wan Xiliang appeared, after saw this, Meng Jiangnu jumped into the sea with the Wan Xiliang bones.

Today, although we have no chance to see the scene of building the Great Wall by billions people, and experience the feeling of broken heart of Meng jiangnu, we do have chance to witness the splendid man made miracle.

Besides, if you want to experience the Great Wall with quiet environment and less tourists, we do suggest you to take China Travel agency and visit Mutianyu section of Great Wall, however, if you don’t mind the crowds and want to experience renewed splendid steep Great Wall, we do suggest you visit Badaling section Great Wall.

The famous building is the black seasame alley 13 homes, which is a typical Siheyuan with five courtyards.

Northland Scenery in Changbai Mountain

Jilin Province in winter, the snow must be the most beautiful scenery . Under blue sky and brilliant sunshine, what people yearn and infatuate are the white and downs, the magnificent and vast mountain , the feeling of climbing and the voice of trampling …

Changbai Mountain

Changbai Mountain in winter is the ink picture of the north land. Mountains, waters, forests and grassland are all covered with snow displaying fresh and elegant. It is a magical world by people’s attention, known as “ The millennium snow and eternity pine tree, directing at the first peak on the earth”. Snow-clad mountains, steep peaks, warm hot springs and changing weather make Changbai Mountain more mysterious , attracting numerous tourists and explorers.

Looking ahead, boundless forests covered snow, with north wind , white snow wave one after another. Under full snow canopy, green pine needles are coming from time to time , exceptionally vivid. Inadvertently , you will find here is your dream of spiritual promised land. The perfect snow will wash tired in your whole body.

Occasionally, the little piece of snow shows the brilliant atmosphere of Changbai Mountain , it is frenzy. At the bottom of Changbai Mountain, the beautiful beauty pine trees are like the pretty girls , stretch their arms , waving welcome visitors from afar.

Poetic Harbin

In the heavy snow of Harbin, hide in a hundred-year-old cafe shop, drinking coffee, what a pleasant thing to spending the whole afternoon. You can go to the depths of birch forest , looking for the engraved love of birch in the heart.

Poetry of Harbin

Getting off the plane, we are going straight to the Central Avenue which concentrates the past and present of this legendary city. Central Avenue has all the expectations of Harbin – exotic architecture , century – old storied stores , traditional cuisine and a variety of Russian-made souvenirs.

Dance Time in Cafe

We are breathing in three cafes in Central Avenue – “Lucia”, “Tower Priests” and “Ma Diego Fall” ice cream parlors.

“Lucia” exists in the corner for more than a century, it has the romance written in the art books – the quiet window from that to watch the colorful world , not a lot of space for the old photographs on display, reflecting the city of the earliest pioneer who are dressed , looked disdainfully , or sitting ,or dancing.

“Tower Priests” was an underground cellar of a successful Russian merchant. Compared to Lucia , it is simply described as luxurious , but also will have scarce passengers in the off-season. For the brilliant and distant view of the history of the shop, we call it “ the basement of Harbin” generously.

“Ma Diego Fall” was once one of the most famous hotel in the Far East. The hotel is now passed its prime, the only well famed ice cream shop is hot now. The sign product is red bean ice cream, popsicles on the door of a takeaway are in the open cardboard box. No fridge, the winter Harbin itself is a huge natural refrigerator.

Sun Island Calm Island

We took a cab across the frozen Songhua River, heading for the famous Sun Island. The temperature on the glacier is clearly lower than in urban areas, the air is chilly and piercing , bright sunshine makes the cold even more straightforward.

Sun Island has been ridiculed famous by a pop music, worthless of the name, but I don’t think so , because there is “Russian Town” on the island. It is the ancient Russian village community formed of 27 different styles of villas. In the evening , we almost became the only tourists to enter this old town. Immediately , the desolation and loneliness is declaring this is a dead community.

We did not have a ride back again, but walking through the Songhua River back the sunset. Walking along the footprints of others, from yesterday to today.

Old Town Image

The next day , we walked to the Sofia Church. And snow took the city like a huge ski resort. There are nearly 30 churches in Harbin , mostly have been converted into museums. Surrounded by the snow pine trees , the Sophia Orthodox Church is the city historical data showroom now. Then we went to the Daowai Area, a place where needs paying our respects. However , it is going to be lost in the memory of local people. The old city is the birthplace of Harbin, is also the concentrations of dangerous rooms, shanty towns and potholed roads. Now , except of a few old buildings were repaired and retained as cultural heritages , the entire road is facing demolition and reconstruction.

Tips :

Local temperature: In early spring Harbin , under sunshine the temperature is still “20 degrees” , pay attention , locals say temperature omitted “minus” because no one will misunderstood.

Tour Highlights: The Sun Island well-known as summer resort all over the world; Central Avenue-Asia’s longest European pedestrian street ; the largest Orthodox church in Far East – the Hagia Sophia , Stalin Park , the Flood Monument , Gogol Street , Siberian Tiger Park , Changbai Waterfall – the largest mountain drop waterfall in Northeast, Shenyang Imperial Palace and so on.

Breathe Under the Snow

It is also a cold and windy winter, every this time , the south people always ask when snow in north, where to see the most beautiful snow . For those who enjoy the snow , the snow in Heilongjiang is no doubt the most pretty. The snow-mushrooms seems like ice cream and red lanterns watching the white snow , all the scenery will let you into the snow world. But it needs long way and full preparations for the northeast tour.

Compare to it , the Mulan Hunting Ground is more convenient , which is located 430 kilometers from Beijing. It is the best place to see and picture snow. The grassland, birch, hills, lakes , cattle and sheep are the rare photographic subjects. Rich and full screen, frozen lake covered with frost hay , this huge scenery will make people with high mood.

The reason why the locals call it the dam is that it is located in the junction of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, Loess Plateau and the North China Plain, around Beijing for semi-circle , as a dam. The criss-cross terrain is a collection of representative views of all the north. Flowers everywhere in spring, cattle and sheep flocks in summer, red forest in the autumn and winter snow all around in winter. When snow covers the entire fruitful prairie , we can still listen to the soft breathing of snow under the land.

It usually starts snow in November each year, until March next year. The average thickness of the snow can be more than 15 cm. Then the New Year Holiday is the best time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The agency advised me to choose Suzhou and Hangzhou to spend my travel, because it will give me a different impression of China. I decided to have a try, after all, China is a country with so plentiful civilization. After receiving the e-mail of my tailor-made itinerary, I was dreaming that travel every day. Although the itinerary is so detailed that I can see the scenery in my eyes, I still want to enjoy the sightseeing by myself. I travel the itinerary as scheduled. The first day, I was taken to Wuxi. When it refers to Wuxi, I cannot help to talk about the delicious dinner. I remembered that there is a restaurant near my hotel called Wang Xing Ji, where you can taste the Steamed Buns and the San Feng Bridge griskin. The taste is fresh and nice and very different from our western food. The second day, my tour is arranged in the heaven of the earth, Suzhou of China. The guide takes me to get to Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, and Lion Grove. It is said that the Humble Administrator's Garden is the villa built in old times. That is very wonderful. At night, we went to the Restaurante Chino to eat beggars chicken. My guide told me that that delicious chicken is invited by the beggars in old China. That is incredible. Because it has been a famous dish The third day, my guide and I went to Haining to enjoy the spring tide in Haining. Due to my tout is in Chinese National Days, many Chinese people choose the dates to travel to Haining. The beach is crowded. However the tide is beautiful and the people assembling there is also distict scenery for me. We were all happy. The fourth day, our destination was changed to a simple and unsophisticated place, Xitang. Chinese civilization is unbelievable. The fifth day, we came to Hangzhou, where is the birthplace of the famous Chinese legend about Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. My guide took me to the West Bridge and the Fall of Pagoda. That is interesting but moving. The last day, after understanding the history of the old city, my guide took me to cruise on the river. The old style boat made me terrified then but now I think it is fun and brought me back to the old time as well a the Paper Umbrella taken by the girls in Hangzhou. After my tour, I told all my friends about my China tour. That is a mysterious County.
