The Great Wall was the first sightseeing spot we visited on the first day in Beijing. The Great Wall is one of the most magnificent sights to behold in the world. It is the longest wall in the world and is an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. The Great Wall is more than just a wall, it was originally constructed for military and defensive purposes.
Another sightseeing spot we have visited was the night market in Beijing, which showcases almost all the famous and featured traditional food, such as barbecue kebabs, sugar-coated gourds, tea soup, pancakes and fruits. We even found some insect kebabs and scary-looking deep-fried scorpions there.
On the second day, we visited the National Museum of China and the Tsingtao Brewery. I took a lot of photographs and also bought some beer for my grandpa at the brewery.
The trip is much more than just sightseeing, it also trained us to become a great leader. It was a very memorable experience.
