During spring break I went to China with ITS. We went to see many different things such as the great wall and Forbidden City in Beijing. In Shanghai we got to see the downtown area with lots of huge buildings. On the foggy day we couldn’t even see the top of some of them. When we ventured out to Xi’An we got to see the terracotta warriors and I bought from the replica shop. Once arriving in Gui’lin we went on a river cruise down the Li River. The cruise was fairly decent but got a slight bit boring after about two to three hours. Once the cruise was over, we arrived in a small town where we got to saunter around the marketplace and buy many different things. Out of everything we did in China, the outing I enjoyed most was when we got to bike on top of the Xi’An city wall. The only wall in China which is still fully standing. Although I was quite disappointed that we only got to spend around thirty minutes atop the wall, I thoroughly enjoyed hurtling down the never-ending paths on the wall. My second favorite part of the trip was climbing the great wall. The expedition was a long and steep one, but it was worth the jelly legs. After reaching the highest point on the wall, you feel as though you are the king of the world. The creator of all that is in existence. It fills you with this higher power sense of accomplishment that makes you feel invincible. Although this was definitely the most self-building part of the trip for me, the bike riding on the wall in Xi’An will still be my favorite for that is where I got to spend some time just gliding alone chatting tranquilly with my friends.
