Unit 2 Lesson D  Travel blogs

1 Finally here! Activity B Reading

Read Gisele's travel blog again. Match the questions and answers. There are four extra answers.

We arrived in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, the day before yesterday. Exhausted, we
went straight to bed, but got up early yesterday. We took a bus to Mount Emei. Fortunately, it's close
to Chengdu, so we had a full day to explore. Mount Emei is beautiful, and it has lots of temples and
monasteries.
Today we went to Leshan to see the giant Buddha statue. It's the largest stone Buddha in the world
and was cut into a cliff. It took 90 years to make the statue. It's huge – 233 feet high!
Our hotel in Chengdu is inexpensive and very nice. We met some people from Canada last night.
We all went out for some delicious Sichuan food.
We're going to the Giant Panda Nature Reserve. I have always wanted to see a baby panda. Does
anyone know what I need to do? Can I get tickets online? What's the best way to go there?

I went to see the pandas last year. I don't think you can get tickets online. You have to go and get them there. There are regular buses from
Chengdu, and the bus ride usually takes three hours. But go early to see the pandas when they are awake.

Last day in Chengdu

We went to the Panda Reserve yesterday. I was able to see some baby pandas. Oh, goodness! They
are so cute. They do amazing things at the Reserve to save these animals.

Wow!
We just spent a few days in western Sichuan. It was really interesting. Tonight we head to Beijing. I
really want to see the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Bird's Nest Stadium. I love the
Olympics.
