By Alejandra

`

China has many great places to visit. One place of great interest in is the city of Hong Kong. One famous place in Hong Kong is the Victoria Peak. It is one of the richest areas in the world. Another place of interest in Hong Kong is Ocean Park. A great place for kids and even adults; it’s the third largest park in the world. It has over 14 rides and if you don’t like rides you can go to the giant panda exhibit or jellyfish and shark aquarium.

The traditional clothes that they wear in Hong Kong are called shamfoo for men and cheongsam for women. The shamfoo are like pajamas the cheongsam is a tight fitting Chinese dress with a mandarin collar.

Another example why you should visit China is to visit Tibet. Dali Lama is not allowed in the country. About 6 million people live in Tibet however 7.5 Chinese live there as well.

Most Tibetans are farmers or nomadic. The Potala Palace raises a further 170meters and is the greatest monumental structure in all of Tibet.

Finally the last reason why you should visit China is to visit the Forbidden City. Forbidden City was home of 24 emperor’s. It is now known as the palace museum. It was built over 1 million years ago there are 980 buildings and 8,707 rooms.

So as you can see, three reasons why you should visit China is to visit Hong Kong one of the richest city’s, Tibet, and the Forbidden City which is now known as the palace museum.
