My Holiday in China
Few years ago, I spent my holiday in China. I went there with my friends. It was an unforgettable moment for me.
On the first day, I was landed at Pudong International Airport around 7 a.m. Then we went straight to hotel to put all of our luggage and took shower. After breakfast, our bus came to pick up and sent us to several places. The first place we visit called The Bund Shanghai. It was a very famous place for tourist. We enjoyed the beautiful river and building’s view before had our lunch.
On the next day, we visited an International School in Shanghai. The school was very big and full of high-tech facilities. Me and my friends were so impressed.
