Day Twenty in China: City with walls

It was finally the last day of vacation, and oh, how I didn't want to go. I really, really wanted to stay. It was too bad that I couldn't. Today was exciting! We were going to walk on the wall! We walked outside to wait for our tour. All of a sudden, loud music was turned on. When I turned around, I saw a large red carpet. So people were going to have a performance? That was awesome! I tugged on my aunt's arm, and led her over to the side where we could see better. Sure enough, people dressed in costumes started walking down the carpet. More people, this time doing flips. Next, girls dancing. Then that was it. I wasn't really impressed, except for the flips. Maybe because the music was too loud? But I was glad to finally get started on our walk.

 

Looking down from the wall, I could see all the houses. Just then, I realized how organized they were. They were in rows and columns, and almost all the same height! I also realized how big the city was. It was so exciting to see a city from above. We walked around on the top, all the way around. When I looked outside, I was quite disappointed. Outisde it was just another city, but this time, it was a modern city. So I guess the view wasn't that good after all. 

Nothing inside was interesting... except the torture methods. Yes, that's right. It was where they tortured prisoners. I won't write about them here... it's really disgusting. They torture you in every way possible, leaving the killing last. I shuddered, trying not to imagine it. One torture method lasted 3 days and 2 nights. All I could think was, Ouch!, and who would deserve that? We also saw luxurious cells. Seriously, a place to go to the bathroom, a warm bed, and a place to hang clothes! It was also light and spacious. The next cell was pitch black, had no bed, and had nothing but a little corner to do you know what. So they wouldn't know when night and day was! That was awful! They were so cruel! I couldn't imagine... After that, we left (thankfully).

The next place was boring. It was a place with six courtyards, where someone important lived. The courtyards were like a maze, I would get lost easily. The last courtyard was a garden. There was a spring, and a bridge. Again, it was kind of boring, and that was it. Our day was over, and it was time to go home. Today wasn't as fun as yesterday with the vinegar, sadly.
