The Great Wall of China

image

The Great Wall (长城, pinyin: chángchéng), also known as the Great Wall of 10,000 li (万里长城, pinyin: w?nlǐ chángchéng), is included in the list of the "Seven Medieval Wonders of the World" (of course not one of the classical Seven Wonders of the World recognized by the ancient Greeks).

The Wall was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.


The Chinese have a saying, 不到长城非好汉 (pinyin: bú d?o chángchéng fēi hǎoh?n), roughly meaning "you're not a real man if you haven't climbed the Great Wall".

But for what is the Wall great? It's not, however, an easy question to answer. Let's just start from the Wall's length and building time.

The Mushroom House

image

The Mushroom House, located in Whistler, Canada was first devised in the late 1970s. Zube, the artist/creator, has spent 22 years developing, creating and re-creating this haven and work of art.

The interior design is based on the anatomy of a tree. All aspects of the décor reflect this motif, from the womblike hues of the Jacuzzi room in the 'roots' to the vivid leaf greens on the walls in the 'canopy'.
