walk the wall

There aren't many places that I know of where you can take a walk along and within an hour, you get to view a great historic city from every angle, York is the first one that I encountered.

The city wall runs along the old town. Walking on it, you could feel its stronghold presence in its days as a core military, political and economical base which hosted and served "unwelcomed guests", including Nordics, Anglos, Normans and Romans.

Modern urban developments blend in nicely with the ancient city, injecting a new life into the old. People of all ages, all races and from all over the world live under the harmony of this blessed city.

Everybody holds a piece of the history, every walk has different footprints, every building records some kind story. No matter where you are in the city, whether in a pub, at a junction, inside a shop or simply walking down the street, you'll see and hear the history is repeating itself yet moving forward at an elegant pace.

If you've never been to York, make sure you pay a visit; if you have been, make sure you go back again.

There are simply too many history and rich stories waiting to be heard, remembered and taken away to every corner of the world ...
