China
By Nicolas

There are many places to visit in China. The second largest city in China is Beijing, it is also the capital of China. More than 15 million people live in Beijing. Also, the Forbidden City is in the heart of Beijing. This palace was built for the emperors. Both the inside and outside are yellow because yellow is the symbol of royalty. Another place to visit is the Beijing zoo. The Beijing Zoo is known for its pandas. The zoo gets its animals from India, Africa, Europe, and China itself.

In addition to visiting Beijing, you can also visit Tibet. Tibet has many tall mountains. That is the reason why Tibet was nicknamed "Roof of the World." The Zangbo River is in Southern Tibet. Tibet’s capital and largest city is Lasa. It lies in the valley of the Zangbo River.

Another place to visit in China is where The Terracotta Warriors are located. The Terracotta Warriors are a large army of life size pottery figures. The Terracotta Warriors where buried with the emperor to protect him in the after life.

In summary, there are many places to visit in China the places I wanted you to learn about were Beijing, Tibet, and I wanted you to learn about the The Terracotta Warriors. I can’t wait to go to China.
