Interesting Places to Visit in China
By Mary

There are many different and interesting place’s to visit in China first let me tell you about Beijing. You should definitely see the giant panda at the Beijing Zoo. After you see the zoo visit the Forbidden City. It was home to 24 Emperors! It also known as the Gates of Heavenly Peace, which is the world largest public square and holds up to 1 million people!

The second reason you should plan a trip to China is so you can see the Himalaya Mountains. The Himalayas are the world's highest mountain range and a challenge for all mountaineers. Another place in the Himalayas is Mt. Everest, the world’s biggest mountain. The first people to climb it were Hillary and Tenzing Norgray and since then over 4000 people have tried and 140 have died trying.

Finally, the last reason you should plan a trip to China is so you can see the Terracotta Warriors, they are life size people made to represent a small part of the eight thousand underground army buried near Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s tomb. The warriors where called the Terracotta warriors because they were made of clay called Terracotta.

So as you can see you should plan a trip to China so you can see Beijing China’s capital the Himalaya Mountains were the highest mountain is and the Terracotta Warriors made to represent some of the buried army’s.
