Interesting Places to Visit in China

By Jack

China is a land filled with many beautiful places for you to visit. One place you would want to visit in China is Beijing, China’s capital. In Beijing you would want to see their zoo which is famous for its panda’s and over 7,000 creatures and 600 different types of animals. You should also go to the world’s largest public square. It is called Tiananmen Square and can hold up to 1 million people.

Another interesting place to visit is the Himalaya Mountains. Did you know that these mountains are 125 to 250 miles wide and over 60 million years old? If you are up to the challenge, you may even want to climb the world famous Mt. Everest. This is the tallest mountain in the world. It is so tall that it reaches the jet stream. The roads are very dangerous and the air is very thin. Did you know that there is a rainforest located at the foot of the mountain? It rains everyday and there are many unusual animals there.

Finally, before you leave China, you must see China’s Forbidden City. This city is located in the heart of Beijing. It is called the world’s largest palace and has 980 building with 8,707 rooms. This palace was only for the royal family and common people were not allowed. Since 1949, the Forbidden City is now a museum open to the public.

So as you can see, you should visit China because it has many wonderful places to see and explore like Beijing, the Forbidden City and the beautiful Himalaya Mountains.
