The trip to China was my favorite school trip we’ve gone on so far. I had two favorite experiences from the trip. The first was the Great Wall of China, because we’ve all been looking forward to it for so long. It was amazing to see and learn about the history built in, from how long it took to build it, to the lighting of the flames to signal an enemy attack. My other favorite thing was the Temple of Heaven. I loved seeing and participating in the Tai Chi because it’s such a big part of the Chinese culture, and the movements and their names were so interesting. I also really liked the Chinese yo yos, because they’re a typical pastime, and not at all something you would do in America. The Temple of Heaven is definitely a really important place to visit because you get to experience so much of the culture and daily life. I was also really proud of myself because I tried a lot of spicy foods on this trip!
