Last year we went to Beijing for a school trip. Our Chinese class only has three students, so wepartnered with another school. This was fun because we made a lot of new friends. We arrived in Beijing on Monday morning. We were very tired because the flight was long. After lunch we went to the Olympic Park and we saw the Bird’s Nest Stadium and Aquatic Centre. We had Peking duck for dinner, and it was delicious!

We had our first Chinese class on Tuesday morning. Our classroom was under a coffee shop, so during the break we ordered tea in Chinese. After lunch we went to Lama Temple and we burned incense. Then we went to the Confucius Temple, where we watched a Chinese dance show and it was very interesting.

We went to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park on Wednesday afternoon. The Forbidden City was huge, and we walked for three hours. We enjoyed learning about Chinese history. After going to the Forbidden City, we climbed the hill in Jingshan Park. We could see a panorama of Beijing, but there was a lot of pollution. After dinner we went to the night market and I bought bubble waffles. We went to the Great Wall of China on Thursday! The weather was hot and sunny, and we had a picnic lunch on the Great Wall, which was really fun. The view was amazing, and we took a lot of photos.

We went down the hill on a slide in the afternoon and we thought it was fun. On Friday after Chinese class, we went to the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven is in a big and beautiful park. We saw people dancing and doing other park activities. We also went to the Pearl Market, where we practiced speaking Chinese and bought souvenirs. In the evening we went to a restaurant for dinner; we had hot pot and it was delicious.

Saturday was our last day in Beijing. We went to Houhai, where we saw a beautiful lake and explored the alleyways. Then we went to Nanluoguxiang, which is a big shopping street. I bought Chinese tea, stationery and souvenirs. We returned home to England on Sunday. We had an amazing time in China; we had a lot of fun, made new friends, learned Chinese, ate a lot of delicious meals, and saw a lot of interesting places. I think our trip was great!
