Beijing, China

The Great Wall of ChinaHere’s a little bit about my trip to Beijing, China. Do you know that the 2008 summer Olympics will be here? I got to see a lot of cool temples and I ate rice every day, but my favorite part was going to the Great Wall of China. That day, we took a car out towards the mountains to find the Great Wall. When we saw it in the distance it looked like a white snake on the mountain peaks. As we got closer I was so excited. We’re finally here! Once on the Great Wall, I started to run! I just kept running with my friend between the look-out towers. It was so much fun! I think I could even see Mongolia in the distance. Later that night, I decided to practice writing some Chinese characters. I also went swimming in the pool at the hotel.

Check out China on the map so you can hear some music and see some pictures. You can find China on the continent of Asia.

See you later!

P.S. Look at my Chinese writing!
