A 13,112-meter-long painting scroll is
stretched out along the Juyongguan Pass section of the Great Wall in
Beijing, capital of China, July 13, 2008, to mark the 7th anniversary of
China's winning the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games. The painting
scroll dubbed as Olympic Dragon features a huge dragon with a
6.6-meter-high metallic head. The body of the dragon is painted in five
colours same as those of the five rings on the Olympic flag. The national
and regional flages of the 205 countries and regions which will
participate to the 2008 Olympics are also painted on the scroll together
with blessing words in over 200 languages and patterns bearing good wishes
to the Olympics. (Xinhua/Dai Xuming) Photo Gallery>>> |
