China was incredible. I was able to visit some very interesting places, such as the great wall and the Terracota soldiers. The tour my family and I went on, toke us to three different places around China, Beijing the present of China, Xi An that is the past, and Shangai that is the future. In Beijing, that is the capital of China, they toke us to see the great wall. The tour guide told us that going to China and not seeing the wall was like not going to China at all. The wall was made thousand of years ago, it still stands, but it broke into smaller pieces. I went to the part of the Great Wall that was said to be the best part, because it was the longest and had the best view. The Great Wall was four hours away from the center of Beijing, but because it was a holiday in China, it toke us about six hours to get there because of the traffic. They were thousands of people in the Great Wall, it was impossible to get to the very top because of all the people, but we were able to walk on it for a while which was good enough for us. After being three days in Beijing we got on a plane and went to visit Xi An. It was very different from Beijing, because it looked older and the city was very poor. In Xi An we went to see the terracotta solders which was amazing because there were about 800 soldiers made out of terracotta that is a type of stone. The story about why the terracotta soldiers were made was very interesting in my opinion. The soldiers were made because the emperor of China in that time, wanted to be treaded when he died the same way as he was being treaded in his life, with all the servants and worriers to his power. He decided to kill all of the people in his palace, so they would serve him in his next life, but before he made a statue of each person he killed and but them outside his tomb so no one would enter it. It was really amazing to see so many solders, and people because they all had different faces. Because of all the years that have passed since the solders were made many of them were broken into peaces and they were being reconstructed. I also went temples, and some emperor house but the great wall and the terracotta solders were the two things I liked the most. Visiting China was really nice and I hope I can go again, and I also recommend everyone that has the chance to go to China to go because its really fun and you learn a lot about the place.
