Place in My Heart
My favorite place to go on vacation is China. The first reason I like China so much is that the
shopping there is excellent. For example, at a place called Dong Wu Yuan I can buy lots of fashionable
clothes for a low price. Another reason is that I love the food. My favorite dish, Peking duck, is available
everywhere in China, and it is so delicious. Additionally, there are so many interesting tourist attractions
there. I have been to the Great Wall twice, and I think it is the coolest place in the world. All in all, China
is definitely the best place in the world for me.
