Do you know Machu Picchu in Peru? Maybe you never hear about it and think there is nothing great with it. But it is famous all over the world, just like the Great Wall in our country.
Machu Picchu is over 600 years old, but people found it very late, in
1911. That's why people also call it"The Lost City of the Incas". Machu Piechu lies on the highland of a mountain, at over 2,400 metres above sea level. It is about 5 km² and has about 200 different old but great buildings. There are three areas(地区) in Machu Picchu and every one of them has different uses. The slopes(斜坡)of the mountain work as the farming areas. The lower (更低的) areas are the buildings for people to live in. The top of the mountain is for religious activities(宗教活动). From there, you can enjoy all of Machu Picchu.
▲Why did people build the city on the mountain? How did they build these fantastic buildings? Who lived there before? It may take a long time to find them out.
Do you know extreme(极限的) sports? Extreme sports are often dangerous. But many people like them. A lot of people want to do them., even women. Do you know why? One said, " Because they can make me look very cool." Do you think so?
