Vlog
The exchange students want to learn more about places of interest in Beijing. Daniel has found a vlog about Beijing to share with them.
Now let’s read the script together.
Welcome to Beijing, the capital of China! Let me show you around my hometown.
In the centre of Beijing is the Palace Museum. It was once the palace of some emperors in ancient China. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it’s well worth a visit.
Next to the Palace Museum is Tian'anmen Square. Many visitors like to come early in the morning to watch the raising of the national flag.
If you want to know more about traditional Beijing life, why not visit a siheyuan? It's a group of four traditional Chinese houses in a square. There's a house on each side and a courtyard in the middle. There are hutong between the siheyuan. You can get a taste of the past by walking 15 through the hutong.
Feeling hungry? Try some delicious Beijing duck. You’ll love it! At night, remember to enjoy Beijing opera at one of the local theatres. It’s wonderful. Don’t miss it!
