00:00I never thought something like this would happen to me here, in this imposing place, so full of history.
00:05It wasn't the cold, it wasn't the tiredness, it was something that simply touched my soul.
00:12This is the Great Wall of China, one of the 7 wonders of the modern world.
00:17They say it's so big it could circle half the planet.
00:20It is over 21,000 kilometers long and was built over 2,000 years ago.
00:25And yet it remains one of the most impressive places in the world.
00:32My fellow travelers! The long-awaited moment of my trip to China has finally arrived.
00:38The day I dreamed of so much, the day I imagined so much is today.
00:43And I'm in Beijing, and that means one thing.
00:47And today we're going to see the Great Wall of China. So let's go.
00:52The Great Wall is approximately two hours from the center of Beijing, depending on the entrance you choose.
00:58You can go by bus, tour bus, or taxi.
01:01I chose to go by taxi and it cost me $30 to Mutianyu.
01:07After two and a half hours of travel, I arrived in Mutianyu.
01:12The entrance or section I chose to visit the Great Wall of China,
01:15because it says it has spectacular views and that there aren't nearly as many tourists as in Badalín,
01:21which is always collapsed.
01:23I hope it was worth it because, honestly, I just arrived and I'm already starting to see that there are things.
01:28a lot of people.
01:30I'm happy because I know I've arrived in China.
01:32I hadn't seen the sun for days; the days had been super cloudy and rainy.
01:36And today the day cleared up, it's helping to have a sunny and super beautiful day.
01:42So let's get to the first thing, which is buying the ticket.
01:46Mutianyu has a super organized infrastructure.
01:49It has a small market with many clothing stores, crafts, and restaurants.
01:54And what I like most is that at that station you can go up by cable car and come down on a fun ride
01:59slide.
02:01I already have my tickets for the Great Wall of China.
02:05It cost me 60 yuan, which is about $9.
02:08Already with the bus that brings you to the entrance.
02:11And I also bought a ticket to ride a cable car which looks super fun.
02:16Completely open and descending in an epic way from the wall on a slide.
02:22Honestly, for a wonder of the world, I think it's incredibly cheap to be able to do two attractions.
02:27plus admission, all for $30.
02:29I think it's a good price.
02:30What do you say?
02:37It's almost my turn and it's a cable car or a chairlift, I don't know if you can call it that.
02:42It's completely open and it never stops, so you have to get on board really, really fast.
02:48Here? Okay?
02:50Here! Here comes the chair!
02:52Okay! It fell!
02:54And we're leaving now!
02:56Bye, bye!
02:59Wow! What a way to start this adventure!
03:02Hey! They didn't even assure me or anything here, it was quick.
03:04And now we're on our way to one of the largest construction projects in history.
03:09How beautiful!
03:14From here, as I continue, I can see people going down the slide, but super fast.
03:20So this video, besides being full of so much emotion and dreams,
03:23It's also going to be full of adrenaline and adventure.
03:26And as we climb higher, I can already feel not only the breeze, the wind, but also the history, the
03:32energy.
03:33And my heart is beating a thousand times a minute because in just a few minutes we're going to be able to touch the Great Wall of China.
03:46I know that not everyone loves the idea of heights and being completely exposed like that,
03:51But you also have the option of taking a conventional cable car, all enclosed.
03:56But you know that the more I'm in contact with nature and the more extreme it is,
04:00It amuses me more, it excites me more.
04:03And guess what! I can already see the wall! It looks beautiful! Look!
04:10It's missing something very nice! It's missing something very nice! It's missing something very nice!
04:16This sheet is fast, you can't fall asleep here.
04:27Wow, my travelers, officially join me in this very special moment for me
04:34Where I am stepping for the first time on the Great Wall of China
04:38I can't believe it, I swear.
04:41Because this marks the end of a dream come true
04:45That makes seven, the seven wonders of the modern world that I have visited
04:50And it's truly spectacular to know that after six and a half years
04:55What started as traveling with Vero is now a reality, and you have been a part of it.
05:00Look how funny
05:04The mystical Machu Picchu in Peru
05:07The majestic Christ the Redeemer in Brazil
05:10Chichen Itza in Mexico
05:11The imposing Roman Colosseum in Italy
05:14The mysterious Petra in Jordan
05:17The dazzling Taj Mahal in India
05:19And now, my seventh wonder, the legendary Great Wall of China
05:25I feel my skin prickle.
05:28I feel like I'm trembling right now
05:30And perhaps for many it's something very silly.
05:32But they don't know how I'm feeling right now.
05:35And I just want to turn off the camera for a few minutes.
05:38To be able to contemplate this majesty
05:41This wonder, literally this wonder
05:45Incredible to believe
05:47To hug Vero Chiquita
05:49Tell him, look, we did it.
05:50It was possible
05:51And nothing.
05:53Then start walking
05:54As many kilometers as I can
05:56This wall
06:03Now, with renewed energy!
06:06With this little bit of sunshine warming me up
06:08With lots of energy
06:10Let's begin to travel this entire stretch
06:13As you can see
06:13It's a sub and it goes down
06:15And many, many stairs
06:17That's why
06:18That philosophy of let's work really hard
06:20When we are young
06:21And then we enjoyed ourselves.
06:22When we are old
06:23We need to see, we need to think about it
06:25Because at least for the Great Wall of China
06:26You have to have too much
06:28But we need to be very active.
06:30There are many, many stairs.
06:31However, we see people
06:32People of all ages here
06:34Fulfilling his dream
06:35Look, they're coming down
06:36They are super steep
06:38And then there were increases too.
06:40The wall was originally built
06:43To protect China from invasions
06:45But more than a fortress
06:47It was a symbol of unity
06:48Effort and resistance
06:50Every stone here
06:52It has a history
06:53And every step
06:54It makes you feel diminished
06:55Given the magnitude
06:56Of what they achieved
06:57More than 20 centuries ago
06:59Surprisingly
07:0021,000 kilometers of wall
07:04Look, one of the techniques
07:06That people use
07:07When hers already
07:08It's very steep
07:09It's about holding on and holding on.
07:10Until reaching the top
07:12I'm tired
07:14They need to bring some water
07:15Whatever they are going to bring
07:16Because up here
07:17They obviously don't sell
07:18Absolutely nothing
07:19Everything downstairs at the little market
07:21Anyway, the weather is beautiful.
07:22I feel like today everything
07:23He conspired in my favor
07:24So that the day
07:25It would be beautiful.
07:26And take such beautiful photos of me
07:28Just like these
07:31It makes me laugh so much
07:32People like
07:33It keeps going up like this
07:34Super tired
07:34And now I am
07:35One more of them too
07:37But believe me
07:37That each rise
07:39It has its reward.
07:40Because suddenly
07:40One goes up
07:41And it's rising
07:41With tongue sticking out
07:42And when you turn around
07:44The view is amazing
07:46They say that if you manage
07:47See the wall
07:48From the highest point
07:50It has the shape of a dragon
07:51Among the mountains
07:52That's why I owe it to myself
07:53That helicopter flight
07:55I have to come
07:55Let's do it
07:57But anyway, my traveler
07:58It's truly spectacular.
07:59And one fact that struck me
08:01Extremely curious
08:02This wasn't
08:03A continuous construction
08:04But it took
08:06About 1800 years
08:07It passed from dynasty
08:09In dynasty
08:10And that today
08:11It still continues to attract
08:12To so many people
08:13From the world
08:14Come
08:15To meet her
08:16It's amazing
08:17Look, here we all go.
08:18Subienditos
08:19Subienditos
08:20And then the descent
08:21Don't believe it
08:21The descent is also difficult
08:22Not just the rise
08:24It is said
08:25That the wall
08:26It is made up
08:26For more than 25,000
08:28Watchtowers
08:29And that the emperors
08:31They were sending signals
08:32With smoke or fire
08:33To communicate
08:34Among them
08:35That's incredible!
08:35Today, being in one of them
08:39I went down this corridor
08:41And I think that
08:41I can get there
08:42All the way up there
08:43And have a view
08:44Incredible
08:45It doesn't say anywhere
08:46This cannot be done
08:49So let's see
08:53Wow!
09:01Sometimes it's so necessary
09:03Simply stand
09:05Allowing ourselves to feel
09:06See, smell
09:08Sometimes trips
09:09They are so, so fast
09:10A photo, a video
09:11All
09:12You don't even realize it
09:13And at this moment
09:14A movie is playing.
09:15In my mind
09:16From when I left
09:17Sometimes with my backpack
09:18In 2019
09:19Full of fears
09:19I didn't know what it was like
09:20I was going to be traveling
09:21With seeing
09:21Or if they were going to like it
09:22Where were we headed?
09:24And today, after so much time
09:25Being on the Great Wall of China
09:27In addition to having met
09:28The Seven Wonders
09:29From the modern world
09:30Having visited so many countries
09:32It's like
09:32Wow!
09:33Wow!
09:35I swear
09:36I don't know
09:37I don't know how to explain it to them
09:38What I feel at this moment
09:39Only
09:40I feel so much gratitude
09:42I want to thank you
09:43To all who have been
09:45Part of this
09:46Thank you
09:46That you have accompanied me
09:47Also in every adventure
09:56This one really was
09:57A video uploaded
09:58Of so many emotions
10:00We're back to the adrenaline rush
10:01My travelers
10:02And it's because after doing
10:03A long line
10:05And very scared
10:05Because I believed
10:06That he wouldn't be able to anymore
10:07Since it's until five
10:08P.m
10:09And I'm right on the edge.
10:10We're going down these slides
10:11The most epic way
10:13To lower the wall
10:14On a slide
10:15And at full speed
10:16So let's go!
10:19We sat down
10:20And we need to accelerate.
10:21With the little lever
10:22Down
10:22Subscribe
10:23We'll be
10:24Backwards
10:25Backwards
10:26Backwards
10:26Backwards
10:27Backwards
10:28Backwards
10:48We're literally in the middle of rush hour, lots of people, don't go down at 5, go down earlier
10:53I'm here, I'm going to give them space, I'm going to give them space to leave, because I can give it my all.
10:57the ideas that I like
10:58So come on, now yes, now yes, now yes, look, it's at the back
11:05Oh, I'm going to the other side!
11:18Paying at full speed along the Great Wall of China
11:24They told me to stop.
11:26Oh, how fun!
11:28Ma'am, hurry up, I want to give it to you quickly, hurry up
11:36I must say that this slide has made the Great Wall of China one of my favorites.
11:42Because it was so much fun, I loved it
11:45The only thing is that, honestly, the lady who was in front of me, I mean, I don't know why she didn't get off
11:49via cable TV
11:50Because she was coming slowly and I said to her, ma'am, please
11:53But I loved it
11:54And then here you can see a picture; if you want to buy it, it costs $3
11:58Yes, I visited the 7 wonders of the modern world
12:02But more than that, I discovered my own strength.
12:05My travelers, nothing is impossible
12:07All you need is a dream, faith, and the courage to take that first step.
12:12Even with fear, without having everything
12:15Believe in yourself
12:16Because one day, you too will say
12:18This made me cry, but tears of happiness.
12:23My fellow travelers, after such an exciting day as yesterday on the Great Wall of China
12:28Today, on this second day, I've decided to explore and get to know the heart of Beijing.
12:34A place with over 600 years of history, mystery, and beauty
12:40So today I came to the Forbidden City
12:43Or also known as the Lost City of the Emperors
12:47That you absolutely must see when you come to this city
12:49So let's go
12:50The Forbidden City was built in 1406
12:55And it took them 14 years to complete it
12:58It has more than 980 buildings and more than 9,000 rooms
13:03For centuries, no one could enter or leave without the emperor's permission.
13:07That's why it was called the Forbidden City
13:09This is one of the most impressive buildings in all of China.
13:14And for centuries it was at the heart of imperial power
13:17In fact, this was the home of 24 emperors of the Ming and Qin dynasties
13:23Oh, I learned it! Without a guide!
13:26Being here is like stepping back in time.
13:28To be able to walk through these ancient buildings
13:31And also, to see all those beautiful Chinese women dressed in period clothing
13:35With golden things on their heads and spectacular makeup
13:38Every detail has a meaning
13:41The colors, the carved dragons, the golden tiles
13:45Everything symbolizes power, harmony, and eternity.
13:49I'm walking along and suddenly this beautiful woman says to me
13:52Let's take a picture, we want to see
13:54And I, you are more beautiful
13:56Look how lovely her whole outfit is
13:58Too spectacular and also very kind
14:00Welcome to China
14:02Oh, thank you, Shise!
14:04Thank you
14:07I think one of the things that has impressed me most about this place
14:10It's seeing so many beautiful Chinese women
14:12With a full production team including makeup artists, hairstylists, and photographers
14:16Some even bring in stylists who touch up their makeup.
14:21And not only women, but also girls, boys, and even men
14:26Many of them also have these suits that look very impressive
14:29And I feel that they add something extra to the place.
14:31Because you literally feel like you're living surrounded by emperors.
14:35Look, for example, at this one I'm looking at here next to me.
14:38How lovely!
14:39I swear, I'd like to go up to everyone and tell them
14:41Please, one picture!
14:43But I don't know, I feel sorry that some
14:45Not because they are hateful, because they are not hateful here.
14:47But like, I don't know, they feel a little sorry for us or something
14:49But I've tried to show you all the ones I've seen.
14:56I asked them for a photo and they said that's how it is.
14:59Ah! Cheers! Look how lovely!
15:03Wow! Wow! How cute they are!
