Hong Kong
By Sarah

China has many places you can visit. Hong Kong is
one you must simply see. For example Hong Kong is the richest city
in the world. Another amazing place you must visit while you are
still in Hong Kong is the Ocean Park.
The Ocean Park came in seventh for the world’s most popular
amusement parks it had 4.38 million visitors in 2006, WOW! Now
that’s a lot of people! On Victoria Peak only the super –rich live
there.
Great places to visit in The Himalaya Mountains
Another reason you should go to China is the Himalaya Mountains.
The Himalaya Mountains is the worlds highest mountain range and
contains eight of the worlds ten highest mountains. Mt Everest is
also located there; It measures 29,035 feet tall. The Himalaya
Mountains can be dangerous to mountain to mountain climbers because
of their steep slops, landslides and avalanches. The Himalaya
Mountains measures 1,500 miles long and 125 to 250 miles wide. Once
you are at the Himalaya Mountain be sure to take some breath taking
photographs.
The Great Wall Of China
Finally, the last reason you should go to China is to see
the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall is approximately 4,136 miles
from east to west in China. That's longer than the distance between
New York and California in the United States. It also winds up and
down plateaus, desserts, grasslands, and mountains. How did they get
the Great Wall to go to all those places? The thickness of the wall
ranges from 15 to 30 feet, the Great Wall is also 25 feet tall. It
is the only man made object that can be seen from outer space.
