My grandparents came to visit us for Christmas.

Then a few days later our whole family flew to

Beijing. Flat Stanley came with us and had lots of wonderful adventures.

Flat Stanley In Beijing

One of the first things we did is we went to the Silk Market. All the workers there tried to get you to come to their store. They called me “Little Girl, Little Girl”, and my mom “Lady”. We had fun putting Flat Stanley in di#erent pictures.

These are small Terra$Cotta Warriors. Last year we went to Xi’an and saw the REAL Terra$Cotta Warriors. This is Flat Stanley sitting on a terra$cotta horse. He and I made a Terra$Cotta friend. The friend liked Flat Stanley a lot and asked to hold him.

This is the Great Wall at Badaling. Last year we

went to another part & the steps were harder!

Flat Stanley is a fan of Kung Fu.

We went to 3 shows, the first 2

we could not take pictures.

These two were Riverdance and The Legend of

Kung Fu. I really liked these

shows.

This is the Flying Acrobatic Show. We could take pictures here. There were girls that rode bikes and on one bike 12 girls jumped on the bike and made a magnificent pose. I was sad when it ended.

Me and my mom.

We went on a Hutong tour, and

we rode in rickshaws.

We learned about paper

cutting from a lady who invited

us into her home.
