Colorful sunset's glow hits the Great Wall

Jinshanling's Great Wall, located in a mountainous region of Chengde city, connects the Simatai Great Wall section in the east and Gubeikou Section in the west.
The Great Wall at Jinshanling was first built from 1368 to 1389 during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), and in 1567 and 1570, rebuilding of the wall was mainly directed by great Chinese General Qi Jiguang.
To many hiking enthusiasts and photographers, this section is one of the most popular destinations as it has retained its original appearance since its construction several hundred years ago.

Surely there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate seeing a beautiful sunset.
Indeed it is a beautiful sunset. I find the great wall and its history totally fascinating. It's one of the many outstanding accomplishments China has achieved.
While I do not support or approve of China's government rule, I can appreciate their ingenuity and beautiful creative contributions.
All governments have their warts, RW, and America, especially these days, is no exception to that. However, life is pretty good where I am. I've been to The Great Wall. It is said that you don't know China unless you've done these 3 things: Walk on The Great Wall, Eat Peking Duck and watch the Peking Opera. I did all three 4 months after I came here, and I've now been here almost 20 years.
I agree, Buzz, and America has its own warts that need to be dealt with and not just kicked down the road to only get worse.
IMO, one of China's greatest assets is in the natural beauty of its varied environments.
I would love to experience the events you mentioned. However, I will now have to wait until my next lifetime. (grin)
Two of the best sunset photos I've ever seen were taken by our late friend Kavika - posting them here in his memory.
.
I remember these photos from Kavika's posts. While humans seem determined to destroy it. our world never stops providing beautiful reasons for humans to step back and take the time to appreciate and enjoy them. Kavika and I were good friends here on NT and off. He shared much of his life with us here on NT and helped open the eyes of many to look closer at the many gifts that surrounds us every day. Beautiful sunsets are just one example.
He was my NT friend as well. I miss him. NT misses him.
I miss him too.
