The magnificent view of this astonishing site is really impossible to define in words. The backdrops unveiling this spectacular wall are really breath-taking.

1. Historical Overview :-
The Great Wall of China was originally built more than 2000 years ago by the first Chinese emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi during the Qin Dynasty. The emperor linked and enlarged the existing four ancient fortification walls with North China after vanquishing and connecting China to the seven different Warring States. The armies were positioned to encounter the invading Hsiung Nu tribes. There were some signal fires that indicate probable attacks beforehand.

2. Architectural Details :-
All through the Ming Dynasty the wall was enlarged to 6,400 kilometers which actually means 4,000 miles. It was renovated for almost 200 years and the cannons and watch- towers were added to it. The Great Wall of China holds the credit of being the largest building construction assignment that is ever completed. It is around 25 feet tall and stretches around mountain ranges of northern China, meandering north and the northwest of Beijing.

3. Some Interesting Facts :-
It is not only an architectural showpiece but it is a historical monument, an amazing tourist attraction, a religious site and a source of earning livelihood for the people engaged in local tourism business. One incredible fact associated with it says that it is quite visible with the human eyes from the moon. Another belief states that it is also visible from the low earth orbit. However these are the debatable topics.

4. Notable Characteristics :-
Previously the stones, rammed earth and wood were used to build this wall until the bricks do not come in existence. At the time of Ming Dynasty bricks, stones, lime and tiles were used in bulk. The rectangular shaped stones were used to build the gateways and inner as well as outer brims of the great wall.

So, finally if you are planning to witness the epitome of historical architecture and a symbol of attribute to the people who have sacrifice their life to save the devastating spirit of China. It is a must visit place to acknowledge the superiority of human creativity.

Red Fort - Delhi ( In Heart of INDIA ) Travel



Red Fort, Delhi was laid on the banks of the Yamuna River in the 17th century. The Red Fort also known as Lal Qil'ah or Lal Qila was the made by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. This is known as the shajha’s new capital, Shahjahanabad, the seventh Muslim city in the Delhi. The Great... emperor of Mughal Shajahan had built it with the desire of spreading the Mughal power of success between 1638 and 1648. This is not right to say Monument for it, it is more like a small city of mughals. The fort is contentment example of one’s brilliant minds imagination.

The fort has two main entrances – one is a Delhi Gate and another is a Lahore Gate. The entrance of Delhi Gate leads to Delhi's most famous and crowded place, Chandni Chowk. The shajha had created this small city when he moved his capital from Agra to Delhi. The Red Fort gets its name from the hefty wall of huge red sandstone that tells us its four sides. The red fort stands at the eastern edge of Shahjahanabad.

The fort lies along the Yamuna River, which fed the fosse that surround most of the wall. The design and esthetics of the Red Fort represent the elevation of Mughal imaginativeness, originality and zeal of power which prevailed during kingdomship of Shah Jahan. Inside the fort there are many small museums which include artifacts related to the independence as well the Mughal period.

The Red Fort was originally known as "Qila-i-Mubarak" which means “the blessed fort”, because it was the residence of the royal family.

The Fort has the Diwan-i-Am or the Hall for Public Audiences, where the Emperor would sit to hear the complaints and problem of the common people. There is another place as Diwan-i-Khas which is the hall of Private Audiences, where the Emperor held private meetings. The Rang Mahal or the 'Palace of Colours' was the house of the Emperor's wives and mistresses and holds a spectacular Lotus shaped fountain, made out of a single piece of marble. The palace was embellish with excellent paintings, gold bordered projections, variegation of mirrors and the ceiling was made with gold and silver which reflected in a central pool and gives an elegant look.

It took almost took nine years to build this indomitable bastion and it got accomplished on 16th April 1648. It is said that it got an expenditure of about one crore rupees, an enormous sum in those days, its construction. Half of this total squander was spent to build only the exotic palaces within the fort. In short if we describe the Red Fort then it is an perfect paradigm of intelligence of our kings and the Indian rich heritage.

The city is one of the few major cities throughout the Mediterranean, mainly to the cleanliness of the beaches very large value. The number of beaches provided with the “Blue Flag” as a symbol of high standards of bathing water quality, is in Antalya and around very high.

This bustling metropolis million (1 million summer / winter 0.5 million) has made a remarkable recovery behind them, not least the result of tourism. The ideal situation in the Gulf of Antalya on the Mediterranean and the year-round mild climate provide the best conditions of the city.
Incidentally, the region countless culturally interesting sites, whose visit to the compulsory programme of each visitor counts.
The powerful airport, which recently for a further expanded terminal, is the hub of the entire coastline.In the south-west of Antalya extends to the mountains to the city up. The miles of public beach of Konyaalti is a great contrast to the nearby steep mountains. Even with daily trips by bike, it is possible heights of 2000 meters to reach mind of “zero” …..
In the Antalya region are tours from 1 to 6 (7)

Relevant bike tours for ANTALYA 1 to 6 (7):

Short plug Brief:
(Tour 1) round with a city tour of the Old Town and an impressive waterfall as a target.
(Tour 1, 2, 3) Cultural and ancient monuments as targets.

And not far behind, isolated and pristine nature.

A stay of one week with bike program for each day is possible. Since alone the many attractions in the city itself and the many historical and ancient sites in the immediate surrounding area and other interested parties for a whole week already complete, it is entirely possible not only a week or only once on this wonderful city.

The expected particularly for guests to the beach without the urge of great interest.

The last day before the fun begins... Ramadan Kareem

The first day of th Ramadan actually depends on how you see the moon; for exemple, people in Lybia has started the fasting yesterday, while in Turkey, Ramadan started today. Morocco might start tomorrow or the day after.




It is a interesting concept to follow the lunar calendar for holly days. For 30 days most of my colleagues at work will not eat in between Sahur and Iftar, which are the morning call and the evening one. I am waiting for the drummer to wake me up at five in the morning for breakfast, but that did not happen. Probably to many unholly stuff the night before.



I am amazed how people are practicing a religion sometime, or how they speak about it or even, what they do behind their own faith's back.



I saw people in cafe this morning on my way to work, I told myself, they are certainly not muslims. Well, actually they are, they are just bad muslims, I mean not really good at it. Or they just do what ever they want, which I prefer.



Ramadan is a holly month for compassion, kindness and it is an opportunity to spend time with

...

the loved ones. This is very fine, but what about the 11 remaining months; are they unholly months? Time when you can robb, steal, get drunk, cheat on your partner just for the good reason that it is not holly month so everything is permitted? If I don't believe in god can I do that too? Is god fighting against anarchy?



I'd like people to be kind every day of every month. I don't want them to knock at my door asking if everything is alright, just a bit less of individualism. Can I call for a prayer me too? I will sing like the Muezin: Come out of your bubble! Lift your head and smile at this new day! Take your dog out and stop being grampy, say hi to your neighbour, come back to the simple things of life and learn to enjoy them again.



I think we can be muslim, jew, christian, orthodox, or else, or not believing in any gods, but we do need to open our eyes on the world and pop our heads next door, just to enquire something like: are you alright today?



Something simple we forget to do.
