Answer 1

Fascinating China

Fascinating China, one of the cradles of human civilization, possesses so many treasures with Chinese characteristics that attract numerous people from all over the world. The first place to go to is, the Great Wall, which is the symbol of China and one of the seven wonders in the world. What's more, it is said to be the only construction that can be seen from the outer space. In the imperial periods, it was used in defense of the dynasties. Since liberation, it has become a place of interest. There is a famous saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall isn't a true man."

China is home to Panda, an animal with only two colors, white and black, but very cute. It's our national treasure, often functioning as a friendly diplomat. Terracotta-clay warriors unearthed in Xi'an, a famous ancient city，were sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China. When former U.S. President Clinton came to China, he visited the terracotta’s first.
