Qin Shi Huang Di's Chariot

QinShiHuangDi

This is a chariot made for Qin Shi Huang Di. He unified China and became its first Emperor 2000 years ago.
The chariot was found in 1974 in Xi'an. It was all broken when it was found.
It's made of bronze and has gold and silver decorations.
People didn't just find this, they also found statues of soldiers made of hot mud, and horses made of bronze.
For this picture I used the night flash of my HP camera. I like it because it seems that the chariot is moving, and has fire around it.

Isn't it cool?

YuLong Snow Mountain

4680In December, we went to YuLong Snow Mountain. It is in Yunnan Province, China, near Lijiang. YuLong means "Jade Dragon".

It was so cool because there was so much snow. It was in winter so it was very cold, but we just put on a coat and we felt warm.

I ate hotdogs then I started climbing up the YuLong Snow Mountain. Because it was at an altitude of 4500 meters, I got tired after a while. I looked around and saw some grown-ups breathing in oxygen bottles. I wanted to stop climbing but the grown-ups told me:"Hi, little guy, keep going!”. So I started climbing again. The other people kept encouraging me, and finally I reached the top. Everything was sooo beautiful! The sky was very blue, with white clouds. Then we took photos and looked at the other mountains. We were at an altitude of 4680 meters. This is the highest place I've even been. I was very proud because I believed in myself, and didn’t give up when I was tired.

I was so happy while we drove back to the hotel! I really enjoyed my YuLong trip!
