An Unforgettable Experience
This summer, I went to Dalian with my family. It’s an unforgettable experience for me.
We began our travel first from the sea park. We saw many different kinds of fishes there. We also saw a dolphin show. Then we went to the sea, and we all enjoyed ourselves on the beach. However, one of the most unforgettable things was the sea food. It was very delicious. By the way, during this trip, we took a lot of photos.
I look forward to traveling there again.
