On October 1st last year， my parents and I went to the Great Wall. On the way to the Great Wall， I felt very excited， because this was my first visit. I had dreamed of this trip many times. We took a train first， and then we took a bus to get there. When it appeared in front of me， I couldn’t help jumping. I said， “What a wonderful sight it is！”

When I walked on the Great Wall， I felt very proud because it is the longest wall in the world. At the same time， I couldn’t believe my eyes. I wondered how the ancient people built it with very simple tools. I wondered how many people took part in building it. It was a mystery to me.

I almost lost myself in the beautiful scenery around it. He who doesn’t reach the Great Wall is not a true man. “Now I’m on the top！ I’m a true man.” I said loudly.

But， as there are many visitors every day， there are many problems for the Great Wall. For example， many visitors throw rubbish about or spit on the Great Wall and some visitors even carved their names on it.

As visitors， I think we should try our best to protect the Great Wall， not destroy it. It’s our responsibility. The past is not only for us to enjoy but also for the people in the future.
