Last month, I had a 5-day trip to Beijing with my classmates. We went there by high-speed train, which was fast and comfortable. The journey took us about 4 hours. Our first stop was the Great Wall. We spent nearly 2 hours walking on it, and the view from the top was amazing. All of us took lots of photos to remember this special moment.

On the second day, we visited Tian’anmen Square in the morning. It was crowded with people there. When we saw the national flag, we felt very proud (骄傲的). In the afternoon, we went to the Palace Museum. The guide told us many interesting stories about the ancient buildings, which helped us learn more about Chinese history.

During the trip, we also tried some local food, like Beijing roast duck and jianbing. They were so delicious that I wanted to eat more. Before we left Beijing, I bought a small Beijing Opera mask (面具) for my little sister because she loves traditional (传统的) Chinese culture. Every day of the trip was full of fun and new things, and I really enjoyed the time with my classmates.
