Our class
visited the Palace Museum in Beijing today. It took us an hour to get there by
bus. All of us were very excited.
After we put on
specially-made shoes, we orderly walked into the entrance and watched the
things on show carefully. Some of them were hundreds of years old, and they
looked beautiful. For example, a real queen’s hat. It was made of gold and pearls.
It was one of the most important relics and it was priceless. The gold string
and pearls shone so brightly by the light that many students stopped to have a
look at it. We were deeply moved by the ancient Chinese people. How clever they
were!
One of us was
too excited to control her feeling. She asked the girl working there if she
could try it on. It made us laugh a lot and her face turned red. How funny it
was!
What else
impressed me was a blanket made of trunks. It was a tribute from India to
China. You know there were elephants living there and the Indian King wanted to
express his respect and thanks to our country. It was so thin that it looked
transparent and must be comfortable to sit or sleep on it during the hottest
season.
The high walls
stood for the power, respect, wealth and secret. There were many interesting
and instructive stories to tell. From these things and facts, we could know
that how strong and big Old China was and we really feel proud as Chinese and
we will try our best to build our country and make it more beautiful and
stronger.
