Presentation
Xi'an — the Walled City
Dear Diary,
This is our last night in China. We will fly home tomorrow. We did so much on this trip.
This afternoon, we went to see the Beijing Opera. Wow! I loved the music and the colourful clothing.
Yesterday was a great day. In the afternoon, we went to the Great Wall. It is amazing! It is about 6 300 kilometres long and over 2 000 years old. Then, in the evening, we went to the Bird’s Nest. It is only a few years old, but it is a very famous and beautiful building. It held the 2008 Olympics. Danny looked for birds there. But of course—he didn’t find any.
China is a great country. Where else can you travel thousands of years back in time We saw the Terra Cotta Warriors, the Walled City and the Yellow River.
I learned so much about Chinese history and culture on this trip. I learned about a new instrument—the erhu. And I ate some delicious food.
I can’t believe our trip is over. I will miss China.
I will come back someday.
