| 摘 要： | IN an article entitled “China＇s Ancient Skyline” published on July 15, 2007 in The New York Times, American journalist Simon Winchester wrote about his tour of Zhangjiajie, describing scores of mighty towers climbing endlessly into the foggy sky, like some surreal and unexpected ruined city. “It is a sight utterly to astonish the unprepared, akin only perhaps to the moment when a Midwestern soybean farmer is flushed out of the Lincoln Tunnel into the canyons of Midtown Manhattan.” He added, “In terms of astonishment I found myself saying time and again, as I gaped from cliff-edge and bridge and viewing tower： This is as great as the Great Wall.”
