I'm Sharon.One of my favorite countries to go on vacation is China.After falling in love with the country on a business (生意) trip two years ago,I took my children to China last summer.
We visited three cities,but Xi'an was the most interesting one.This old city is amazing and my children loved to ride bicycles on the famous City Wall.The wall is about 14 kilometers long and it has a very long history.Visitors can rent bicycles there and it is very cheap.And on each corner (街角) you can take a rest and enjoy a bottle of cold water,because it was very hot when we visited it in July.Trust (相信) me,your children will love the trip!
