The Great Wall

We went to Beijing for a week from the 8th to 15th of September.

We went to the Forbidden City.

I was drawing the buildings. I got sick of people touching me and taking my photo all the time 😦

 

My favourite dragon was white…

 

My favourite part was the model of the theatre because it had trap doors and people that were tied to rope around their waist.

 

We went to the Beijing Zoo. I got to see the Panda’s – they were soooooo cute! The monkeys were funny. And I saw some kissing/fighting fish and lots more!

 

I went to the Summer Palace – I like it better than the Forbidden City. There were lots of steps!

 

There were lots of Buddha’s on one building – over 1000 of them!

The kite flying was cool. The kites were a LONG way away. Can you see how far away the kite is in the 2nd photo?

 

There were paintings everywhere. It must have taken them ages to do them all.

 

 

We went up to the Great Wall – it was my favourite trip.

 

At the Lama temple I spun a prayer wheel.

 

Those are bins!

 

People were burning lots of incense.

 

We went to a really yummy vegetarian buffet – my cousins would have loved it! I thought some tofu tasted like meat!

 

We went to where the Olympics were held 4 years ago. I like the birds nest and the pool had scales on it!

 

And I also went to an amazing acrobatics show……..I wish I could be the young girl who did lots of great tricks!
