My Trip to the Forbidden City





I think that the Forbidden City so far was the best place that I went in China. It was huge and there were a lot of people selling popsicles. There were so many places to get lost. The Forbidden City is where the emperor used to live. By the way, how’s the China project going?






Also, it was really hot there (95 degrees). That’s why I was drinking water with ice in it. You can’t drink the sink water in China. P.S. Don’t brush your teeth with it either!

If you look at these things closely, and you’ve read “How to Be an Explorer of the World,” and since it’s so hot out, you might think that they were concrete ice-cream cones. 





In China, dragons are lucky symbols. They are the symbol of rain. But they’re also the symbol of the Emperor. In the Forbidden City there are dragons everywhere.





Dragons up high.






Dragons down low.






Ceramic dragons.






And stone dragons.





And dragon orbs.




The tiny golden dragon Mom is touching is good luck. So many people have touched it, that it’s all shiny. The rest of the frame is tarnished.






A parasol and a popsicle are a lot different from each other. But they are so good in hot weather!
