Ni Hao Rm 25.
My final adventure before coming home was experiencing the Beijing Acrobatic Show. The performance blew my mine away as the erformaers clearly had put it a lot of hard work to perfect their skill.
Have a look at these clips which demonstrates hard work, determination, collaboration, grit and never giving up.
Practice makes perfect.

The Great Wall of China

Ni Hao Rm 25,
What an adventure. I thought I went to another planet and came back. In the next few photos, you will see the grandeur of the Great Wall of China. 

Do you know how long the wall is and why it was built?














Tian'anmen Square

Ni Hao Room 25.
Today Mrs Singh walked and walked. She visited Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City in Beijing. Can you tell me the importance of Tian'anmen Square? Whose photo is on the red building?

Behind the Tian'anmen Square lies the Forbidden City. Here are some photos of the majestic building. How big is the Forbidden City? Why is it called the Forbidden City?

Behind me is the Emperor's throne.


The Emperor's Throne




Read up in the Forbidden City and find out who was the first emperor to unify China.

Train to Beijing

Ni Hao Rm 25.
I am on my way to Beijing to see the Great Wall of China. I am in the high speed train and here are a few clips of the scenery from the train.



China has many impressive bridges

There is thick smog blanketing the countryside. 
Do a google search on the level of air quality in China focussing on Beijing.

Xi'an

Today I am in Xi'an. An ancient city in China. Where in China is Xi'an and why do tourists visit Xi'an every year?


These are pictures of two very important landmarks in Xi'an.
Find out what they are and why they were important in ancient times.





If you get stuck, the clues are bell and drum.
