Trip to China!
Transcript: KuanCheng The first place I visited at China was KuanCheng, a district not far off Beijing near a city called ChengDe, also in the Hebei province. It was to visit my father's family, to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and to celebrate my grandparents' 80th birthdays and to also celebrate on the same day their 55th anniversary. 80 is a special birthday in the Chinese culture, and it was an important milestone in their lives and mine too. I was very fun getting to know my 200 something relatives ( Everyday was wake up, drive to 5 houses of my relatives, than come back and sleep for the first two weeks.)and also fun to hang up with my close cousins, being my father's siblings' children. Food and Sights I visited temples in ChengDe, the city I had said earlier that was close to KuanCheng, as well as Beijing. They were Buddhist temples and it very interesting to see all the statues and customs in the temples. I also got to try the Chinese food at Kuan Cheng, like dumplings, meat pies (Chinese Style), fried duck, a special treat ( I'll show you later), and various other foods. I also saw the rural area in KuanCheng ( if you can call it rural, some people there were driving Mercedes-Benz 4 Matics!) and saw chickens and cats. Also, there is a beautiful water basin that splits the city in half in KuanCheng, connected by lots of bridges. The bridges glow up in the night, and the lights are very nice too look at. Also, dynamites..... yes they were very fun, very. One More Thing...... My father's older sister's older son ( my cousin) just gave birth to a daughter. That daughter...... therefore.... is my niece! Have a look! Beijing After visiting my grandparents at KuanCheng, I went to visit my grandparents at Beijing. The sights were so awesome that they were abnormal, as I doubt the awesomeness that was unveiled could have been called normal. Anyways, to put it in other words, I had fun. The food was amazing too, as you could expect no less from the capital of China. Sights and Food I went to many restaurants at Beijing, like Pizza Hut. I also went to Yoshinoya, a nice restaurant with the best fried rice with beef. I went to DQ as well, and who could forget fried duck? For sights, I went to the Natural Museum of China, the Capital Museum of History, the Tiananmen Square, Chairman Mao's Memorial (with the real body preserved for a good ol' forty years, and man were the line-ups long!!!!!!), the Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China, the Beijing Zoo, the Crow's nest, and....... the swimming water cube.
