Dear Max:
I traveled to Beijing with my parents , which has left a deep impression on me.
It is convenient to access to anywhere with various transportion , among which public transportion is indeed time-saving and environmentally friendly. My family spent a week wandering between the famous attractions . I still remember that we were so immersed in the appealing view of The Forbidden City that we missed the bus. What an unforgettable experience!
There is no doubt that traveling can not only enrich our experience but also strengthen our relationship with family. If you have time , come to visit Beijing!
Your best friend!
What are the meanings of traveling?
Traveling can enrich our experience, broaden our horizons and strengthen our relationship with friends and family. It teaches us to communicate with nature, with people from different cultures and most importantly with ourselves.
In the future, no matter how busy you are, take some time to go travelling with your family or friends.
