China
By Juliette

There are many places to visit in China. One place is Shanghia and is located on the border of the East China Sea. Its population is 20 million people. Shanghia’s port is the busiest port in China. An interesting place to visit there is the Yuyuan Garden and it was built over 400 years ago. In one part of the garden there is a rare rock called "The Jade Rock." The Jade Rock is rare because it weighs 5 tons and has numerous holes made by the water.

Another example of a place to visit in China is the Himalaya Mountains. The Himalaya Mountains are 1,500 miles long and has some of the highest peaks in the world. Mount Everest is in the Himalaya Mountain range too.

In addition to the places I’ve told you about, the Terracotta Warriors is another cool place to visit. The Terracotta Warriors were built 2,000 years ago and were buried with the emperor to protect him in his after life. They were discovered by two farmers drilling a well in their field. The warriors gave them information about life 2,000 years ago. Such as, by the way they dressed and what weapons they used to fight in attacks by enemies.

So you can see there are many places to visit in China. Some places that you can visit are Shanghia, the Himalaya Mountains, and the Terracotta Warriors. China is the most amazing place that I ever studied. It would be so amazing if I could visit for a whole month!
