There are many places to visit in China. To start with Hong Kong is one city you can visit. In Hong Kong people wear the same clothes that we do. They also wear samfoo and cheongsam, a kind of Chinese clothing. Another place that you visit is the Ocean Park. It has an aquarium with 2,000 fish. Victoria Peak is a mountain where rich people live.

In addition to Hong Kong you can also visit the Himalaya Mountains. It is dangerous to climb because there are high winds. Mount Everest is part of the Himalayas. It is the tallest mountain in the world. It is 29,035 feet tall. The Himalaya Mountains is very cold because if it’s high altitude.

Another reason to visit China is the Forbidden City. It is the biggest palace in the world. The palace has 980 buildings and 8,707 rooms. It is 360 meters long and 750 meters wide. Most of the Forbidden City is yellow. Yellow is an important color because it represents the royal family. The royal library has a black roof. This is because black symbolizes water. The Forbidden City was originally built as home for the emperors. In 1949 it became open to the public as a museum and in 2008 the Olympics will be held there.
