A Two cities in China
Millie wants to help the exchange students learn more about different cities in China.She has found two articles written by two students. Here are the articles.
Welcome to Beijing!
I am Wei Ke from Beijing, the capital of China.In the middle of the ancient city of Beijing is the Palace Museum, also called the Forbidden City. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties used to live there. It was turned into a museum in 1925. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it is well worth a visit.
Next to the Palace Museum is Tiananmen Square, the biggest city square in the world.Many tourists like to gather there early in the morning to watch the raising of the national flag.
In the northwest of Beijing is the Summer Palace, a large Chinese garden set in a natural landscape. It was once a nice place for the emperors to spend the summer.
Another famous attraction is the Great Wall. It runs for over 6,000 kilometres across northern China, with watchtowers every few hundred metres. The wall was first built more than 2,000 years ago. It is one of the wonders of the world.

All about Guilin
Hello. My name is Mei Fang. My home is in Guilin.
“East or west, Guilin landscape is best.” Guilin is really a beautiful city in southern China.It lies on the two sides of the Lijiang River. All around the city, mountains stand in different shapes. Many visitors come and visit Guilin because of its fantastic landscape.
In the northwest of the city is the Reed Flute Cave. In this underground cave, it is amazing that there are so many rocks in unusual shapes—some hang down, and others point upwards. The cave is praised as the “Art Palace of Nature”.
Tourists like to take a boat trip along the Lijiang River. It is great fun. It is also popular to hire a bicycle and ride around the countryside.
I hope you can visit my city one day!
