Review 1: Eye-opening findings in Sanxingdui
My last trip to Sanxingdui was great! In the Sanxingdui Museum, I saw strange masks, the "big guy" statue and a life-size "fruit" tree lamp.
Some believed people from Sanxingdui were aliens. But it's not true. They might eat hotpot three thousand years ago, just like we do today.
(Chen Li, history teacher)
Review 2: The pearl of Hangzhou
I visited the West Lake last autumn. On the first night, my friends and I watched the moon rising from a boat on the lake. We ate mooncakes and drank Longjing tea. The next day we walked along the lake. It was such a nice trip.
(Jessica, nurse)
Review 3: A magical island
On Easter Island, I saw huge statues called Moai. The Rapa Nui people made them thousands of years ago. I loved the food on the island. The locals cooked fresh food on rocks! We had fish. It was so delicious!
(Lucy, 10-year-old student)
Review 4: An unusual "table"
I climbed many mountains on my trips, but Table Mountain in South Africa was a special one. Its name comes from its top. It is flat like a table! But I found it only looks flat from one side.
I went to the top by cable car. The first cable car opened in 1929. The view was so amazing!
(William, mountain lover)
