Uncle John's Vacation

Uncle John spent his summer vacation by visiting the Great Wall in Beijing. The Great Wall is the longest wall in the world. It is like a huge dragon stretching from one mountian to another. It seems to have no beginning and no end. Uncle John had never climbed so many steps before. It took him a long time to walk from one tower to another. He was tired but excited. He enjoyed standing on the tall tower because he could see far and wide. He felt great!

After he was back from the Great Wall visit, he went to Cheung Chau Island for the Bun Festival. He watched the procession along the main streets. There were lion dances and colourful floats. There were people playing Chinese music too. People stood in the streets and watched the procession.

After the festival, Uncle John had his supper at home. It was a meal of potluck. There was a lot of food in the pot: chicken, beef and vegetables. He had a great time with his family. He had a very enjoyable summer vacation.
