Dear Mark,
How is everything going I will tell you something about the trip to Beijing I went on with my parents. We visited the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, and so on.
What attracted me most were the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. The Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City with many treasures in it. As a famous wonder of the world, the Great Wall is made of countless stones and bricks, each of which is very big and heavy.
I do hope you can come to China and see some of the places of interest one day.
Yours,
Li Hua
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
