【在山西大同左云县八台子村，长城遗址沿山可见，而仅离它数百米耸立着一座19世纪哥特式教堂的塔楼。明清两代，八台地区曾为边防、外贸商道要冲，因此留下了独特的历史痕迹】The tower of a Gothic cathedral, built by the Jesuits at the end of the 19th century, stands on lookout over a stretch of the Great Wall of China. Very few tourists make it here – you're more likely to bump into shepherds herding their flocks nearby.
