Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an author hints certain plot developments that perhaps will come to be later in the story. It is used to arouse the reader, viewer or listener about how the story will proceed and mentally prepare them for how it will unfold.
Exploring the magnificent city walls of Xian during our China Odyssey was definitely an amazing adventure. Here is a taste of our mist covered morning spent on one of the most famous ancient city walls in China. Xian wall is the longest, the most intact and best-preserved, and the largest in scale of the ancient defense systems in the world. This wall has a circumference of 13.74 kilometers which you can walk, bike or for the soft option take a little “golf cart” trip.

I love that the only colour on this part of the Xian wall are the lanterns! Think it would be beautiful at night, just a pity I never had the chance to see it at night.

It’s always the way…if only! I have had plenty of those moments, but as I get older, I am very pleased to recall the places I did see, the events I saw! You will too, one day!! I’m not that old, really! 🙂

What a fabulous photo. This gives me a better idea of what it might be like to stand on the Great Wall than thousands of “better” — ie more glamorous, traditional, “pretty”, photos.
