　　Our class visited the Palace Museum in Beijing today. It took us an hour to get there by bus. All of us were very excited.

　　After we put on specially-made shoes, we orderly walked into the entrance and watched the things on show carefully. Some of them were hundreds of years old, and they looked beautiful. For example, a real queen’s hat. It was made of gold and pearls. It was one of the most important relics and it was priceless. The gold string and pearls shone so brightly by the light that many students stopped to have a look at it. We were deeply moved by the ancient Chinese people. How clever they were!

　　One of us was too excited to control her feeling. She asked the girl working there if she could try it on. It made us laugh a lot and her face turned red. How funny it was!

　　What else impressed me was a blanket made of trunks. It was a tribute from India to China. You know there were elephants living there and the Indian King wanted to express his respect and thanks to our country. It was so thin that it looked transparent and must be comfortable to sit or sleep on it during the hottest season.

　　The high walls stood for the power, respect, wealth and secret. There were many interesting and instructive stories to tell. From these things and facts, we could know that how strong and big Old China was and we really feel proud as Chinese and we will try our best to build our country and make it more beautiful and stronger.
