Teave
Kiired faktid: Rohkem kui 58 000 nime on graveeritud mustadesse graniitpaneelidesse, loetletud hukkumiskuupäeva järgi, mitte tähestikulises järjekorras. Külastajad jätavad sageli seinale isiklikke esemeid ja National Park Service kogub igal aastal üle 2000 eseme säilitamiseks.
Esiletõstmised: Seina must graniit toimib nagu peegel, nii et kui vaatate nimesid, näete ka iseenda peegeldust nende peal, ühendades elavad langenutega. Kui kõndite mööda rada allapoole maapinna tasemelt, tõuseb sein 8 tolli kõrgusest otstes üle 10 jala kõrguseks keskel, luues maasse haava moodi lõhe, mis järk-järgult paraneb, kui tagasi üles kõndite.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Bring a piece of paper and a soft pencil to make a rubbing of a name that means something to you.
- If you're looking for a specific name, use the onsite directory kiosks or download the app in advance to find panel and line numbers.
- Arrive early morning on weekdays to avoid crowds; weekends and spring break can get extremely busy.
- Walk the entire length from one end to the other to experience the full emotional arc as the wall rises and falls.
