                                      My summer holiday

I went to Beijing with my Dad this summer holiday. We stayed there for five days. It’s an very exciting trip. And now, let me tell you about it.

On the first day of our trip, we went to climb the Great Wall. My Dad told me that “ you were not a real man if you didn’t climb to the top of the Great Wall”. I want to be a real man so I began to climb the Great Wall. But climbing the Great Wall is hard because the Great Wall is really long and the weather was hot. I began to feel tired but Dad said, “stop being such a baby son. We are almost there!” After 6 hours climbing, we reached the top of the Great Wall. I was a true man after that. I felt very excited and happy.

On the second day, my Dad and I went to the Palace Museum. The Palace Museum was really big. It was the place that important people worked long ago. We looked through every little palace and garden in the Palace Museum. We saw lots of things that emperors used long ago and we saw lots of beautiful plants and rare trees in the royal garden. It was really exciting.

The third day was a free day. My Dad and I watched a shadow puppet play. It was very funny. We had delicious Peking duck for lunch. In the afternoon, we went back to the hotel and played chess. What a relaxing day!

On the fourth day of our trip, we went to the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace was very big and beautiful. It’s the royal palace and the royal garden in the past. My Dad and I walked in the roads. We had lunch in the Summer Palace. In the afternoon, we went boating in the lake. It was tired, but exciting.

On the last day of our trip, we went to Tian’anmen Square in the morning. We took a walk there. In the afternoon, we flew back to Guangzhou.

What an exciting trip to Beijing!
