Elsa High School, Dahlberg, Tyra - 13, Fiction: Group 3
he Pearl River delta is a river that goes through a lot of major cities Guangzhou, Macau, Jiang men
and several more. Three major rivers the Xi Jiang, Bei jiang and Dong Jiang, form it.
When I learnt this in school I was super excited I am a huge fan of travelling and this information really
attracted me and made me realize how much I wanted to travel on this river and see the cities that the river
passes through. Being the adventurer that I am I realized that I really wanted to see this river and the places
that it goes through and that this was not going to be opportunity that I was going to miss. I went online
and booked the first best flight. A few weeks later I was ready to go I had looked up all the information that
I needed to know, What I was going to wear, what the weather was going to be like, and what equipment I
needed to fully enjoy the trip. The next day I went on my usual morning stroll walked through the park and
by the ocean. I was really going to miss everyone but I knew that going on this trip was going to benefit me
in several ways. I went pack home, double-checked that I had everything and then I took my car and
started driving towards the airport to go to Hong Kong to start my journey. The next day I landed. Hong
Kong is such a beautiful city that I barely ever wanted to leave it. I stayed in a small hotel in the middle of
Wan Chai. I wanted to go to all the major places in Hong Kong so that I would feel satisfied with myself
after the journey. The next day I took the MTR and got of in Causeway bay I went around and had a look,
I then went to a small Chinese noodle shop located on the side of Causeway bay almost in Wan Chai. These
noodles were nothing like I had ever tasted in America they tasted so much better now I realized why so
many people had talked about the local Hong Kong food. When I went back home I noticed how safe I had
been in my travels I wanted to see more exciting things that dated back many years so that I would really
understand what Hong Kong is all about. I ran down to the office of the hotel and asked them about all the
places that I should visit to understand more about the culture of Hong Kong. They told me that I needed
to make sure to visit the Big Buddha, Lantau Island and Lamma Island. I thought that it would be really cool
to visit these places so I stayed in Hong Kong for three more days to go and explore these places.
So this is what I did during the first week of my trip. It was one of the most memorable moments Hong
Kong is really a beautiful city and I would love to go back someday to see more. My next stop of my
journey was Macau I thought since this was very close to Hong Kong I would go there.
Now that I had stayed in Hong Kong for 5 days I thought it was time to go to the next place, Macau. I
grabbed a taxi and went to the star ferry so that I could take the fast ferry over to Macau. Macau lies on the
western side of th
across from Hong Kong, It is definitely a fun place to visit. I took a
taxi to the main part of Macau and checked in on a hotel that I had previously booked. I fell asleep directly,
I guess I was just really tired from all travelling that I had done In the past few days however it was all worth
it cause I had already seen things that I never thought I would see in my life everything that I had seen so far
was truly beautiful. On my first day in Macau I went to the historic temple of Macau, I then the next day
went to Macau Museum, on my last day in Macau I went to a temple called Kun Lam temple. I woke up at
6;00 am the next morning so that I would have time to go down and eat breakfast before a cab wad going
to come and pick me up. I slowly dragged myself out of bed, took a shower, went down to eat breakfast and
then I was ready to leave Macau for my next destination, Foshan this was my second to the last place I was
going to travel to so I knew that I had to make the best out of my time there.
I went to the airport and the next I know I am on the airplane on my way to China. The trip felt like it
took 5 minutes all of I sudden I was in the very talked about country of China! I travelled by bus to Foshan.
I chose to go to Foshan because of the history. I had heard a lot about the history and how it had existed
through tons of dynasties; hence I thought that this place would be very interesting to visit. On my first day
I decided to go visit the Xiqiao Mountain, which is one of the top four most famous mountains In the
Guangdong Province. The altitude of the mountain is approximately 300 meters and he main peak is only
about 340 meters so that is not a lot compared to some of the other mountains I have visited but it was still
