My Trip to the Great Wall

Last summer holiday, my family and I went to visit the Great Wall. It was my first time to see this famous building, and I was very excited.

We took a bus to the Great Wall. When we arrived, I was surprised—it was so long! A guide told us that the Great Wall is more than twenty thousand kilometres long. It's one of the longest walls in the world.

We walked on the Great Wall for two hours. The steps were sometimes steep, but the view was beautiful. I saw many trees and mountains around. There were also many visitors from different countries. Some of them took photos, and some talked about the history of the Great Wall.

My dad told me that the Great Wall was built a long time ago to protect the country. It's an ancient and important landmark of China. I felt proud when I stood on it.

At the end of the day, we were tired but happy. I will never forget this trip to the Great Wall.
