Latest Updated at 2008-July-14 09:09:00

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.
