A. Taj Mahal

Last year, I went to a city called Agra in India. I visited the Taj Mahal with my family. A man called Emperor Shah Jahan married a princess called Mumtaz Mahal. When she died he was very sad. He built the Taj Mahal for her. Twenty thousand workers used one thousand elephants and finished it in 1653. The tombs of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife are inside the Taj Mahal. I think the Taj Mahal is beautiful. 

 B. Fairy Chimneys

This summer, I went by bus to an ancient city in Turkey called Cappadocia. We stayed in a hotel in front of the Uchiar Castle. During the day, we visited a city that was inside the mountain. There are houses, restaurants, and hotels all inside the mountain. We then went in a hot-air balloon and saw the beautiful Fairy Chimneys. After that, we visited a famous Turkish bath. I can`t wait to visit Cappadocia again next year.  

                                                                             
C. Machu Picchu

Last year, I visited a city called Machu Picchu. It`s in the Andes mountains in Peru. Long ago, people called Incans lived in this ancient city. The city was lost in the mountains for hundreds of years. There are ruins of gardens, houses, and even palace. My favorite ruin is called the Intihuatana Stone. It was a big sundial at the top of big pyramid. There were often special celebrations around the Intihuatana Stone. Machu Picchu is a great place to visit!
