  It's much better and healthier than going to the gym.

I'm outdoors and we all enjoy it.

Surprisingly, it's still in very good shape after so long.

I take a lot of pictures and send them to my friends and family because it's a beautiful place and it's famous all over the world so it's great to be here.

  Very interesting for me, I really like the Great Wall, I never thought I would have the opportunity to come here because we are actually in a closed loop and there is no way to visit the city and experience the culture.

But it's great for us to offer such a "journalist tour", I also covered the 2008 Olympics, but I didn't have time to be here, and it's good to experience it now.

  I am very happy to be able to participate in this "Great Wall Tour", where Chinese culture meets the Olympic Games.

The Olympics are a historical event, so the fusion of culture and sports is normal.

On that day, 40 Chinese and foreign media reporters and media staff participated in the tour.

It is reported that this event strictly implements the Beijing Winter Olympics epidemic prevention and control management regulations. Visiting in closed-loop scenic spots, the whole streamlined point-to-point closed-loop management is completely separated from the social aspect.
