司马台,长城

密云县,长城

昨天我跟我的朋友一起去长城。我们出发的时候原来想去怀柔,长城慕田峪的地方,但是在汽车站有一人告诉我们慕田峪就是马马虎虎,司马台是最漂亮的地方。所以我们去了司马台。哎呀,我觉得有一点麻烦了,因为先坐地铁,然后坐公共汽车差不多两个小时。再要打的,还要开车一个小时。我们从金山岭到司马台爬上是差不多九个公里,要四个小时。有的地方有一点危险,可是大部分还可以,小心小心,慢慢走了。虽然我们很累,但是很兴奋。长城真的是很美。

Yesterday my friend and I visited the Great Wall. We originally thought about going to the Mutianyu section of the wall, but a person at the bus station said that Simatai was the most beautiful part, so we went to Simatai instead. It's a bit of a hassle to get there. First we took the subway, then rode a crowded bus for 2 hours, then rode in a car for an hour. Once at the wall, we walked about 9 kilometers and it took 4 hours. Some parts of the wall are a little dangerous as they are old and run-down, but most of it is walkable, just be careful and take your time. The Great Wall is really beautiful...
