My Summer Vacation

- Gordon

     This summer was filled with amazing places. The main places were Taiwan, Mainland China, and Japan. At Taiwan, the weather was hot and humid. At Mainland China, we visited the west side. In Japan, it was pretty neat. This trip was great.

     At Taiwan, we went to Mount Ali and found it  was very green. We noticed some trees were burnt from fire. Still the weather was super wet, and also had a lot of mist. You can tell that it often rains. We rode a train to Hualien and felt their hot spring tub.

     Mainland China had many places like Shanghai and much more. Shanghai was fun and relaxing at night. It was way better than the hot and humid temperature of Taiwan. We went to Suzhou and had an awesome time at Suzhou Museum. We also saw part of the Silk Road and the Tea Horse Road. The Silk Road is a path that China and Europe traded Chinese Silk. Dun Huang, an important Oasis in the desert, is an important stop along the Silk Road. It was very fun with Echoing Sand Mountain and sand sliding.  Mogao Grottoes lies in Dun Huang with thousand years of Buddhist arts, wall paintings, and Buddha statues. The Tea Horse Road is where people trade tea for horses. The Lugu Lake was pretty and the others were all awesome.

     There is also Japan. The sculptures are small but delicate and special. Like food? There is a lot of yummy food. Like old history? That's everywhere! Like modern things? There's Tokyo Tower!

     The summer in California was also pretty good. We visited all new places except for Yosemite! A new place was called Crater Lake. It was very awesome. I really liked how blue it was. It was unforgettable.

     My summer was very good. The trip all over the world was wonderful. From my point of view, the world is great. I like everywhere I went. I like to travel!
