Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you. ===Sometimes,I can believe that a scenic picture represent the beauty.I like Beijing so much.And I don't think Beijing is the most beautiful city in the World. The first picture is Tiananmen square. All the world knows. This is the landmark of Beijing. I always lisetened to a song, called "I love Beijing Tiananmen". I can not forget the National Day parade, raising the national flag, national anthem. The second picture is the great wall. When dreams go to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is a symbol of national spirit.The last picture is my grandparents' home.I enjoyed all the childhood in here.There is so beautiful,I can't forget here forever.=== ===This is Beijing, the smiling faces of children. Children are the hope of the motherland. I especially like the child. They are lively, lovely, innocent. The child never has lie and cheat.They really show the warmth and friendiness.===
