Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to Beijing，now let me introduce Beijing to you.
Beijing is a city with a long history. It is in the north of China. It has a population of about 13,240,000.
There are many places of interest in Beijing, such as the Summer Palace and so on. The Great Wall is a beautiful place. There is a saying that he who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. The water in Miyun Reservoir is clean and not polluted. There are all kinds of fish in it. You can go boating, go fishing and have a picnic there. It is really a good place to spend your holiday. Besides, you can go and visit Beijing Museum. There you can see a lot of dinosaur egg fossils.
I hope you can enjoy yourselves in Beijing.
