  Olympic Torch Relay
In the morning of August 7, 2008, Beijing time, the most visible Olympic torch finally arrived at the foot of Badaling, the most representative portion of Great Wall, Beijing, the host city, after going through 21 countries and regions, and 113 cities and sacred cultural sites in China. A grand ceremony was held at the Guancheng Square. People greeted the arrival of the sacred torch by dancing merrily the red silk dance at Badaling Great Wall. Thousands of young people waved yellow silk ribbons to compose a galloping dragon at the fluctuant Great Wall.
Toiling from Olympus, Athens to Badaling Great Wall, Beijing, the Olympic flame set up a bridge of friendship between the two ancient civilizations. It witnessed the marvelous picture of ¡°One World, One Dream¡±, and exhibited the prosperity of the ancient Great Wall.
