The Future Greater Bay
Ching Chung Hau Po Woon Primary School, Wang, Qian Yue - 8
The three of us, Leo, Levin and me were sick of homework, so we went on a holiday to the Greater Bay
Area.
We went past the Bell Tower to the Star Ferry. Then we went across Victoria Harbor. It was nice. The sea
was calm and everything was fine. Then, we went through the town and we saw banks in the Central area
of Hong Kong Island.
We then went to Macao on the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhu Hai Bridge by car. It’s the longest ocean crossing
bridge in the world!
After forty minutes we were in Macao. We saw casinos where children could not go in. It was beautiful
from the outside but not the inside. We ate lunch in a nice restaurant. We went to the ruins of St. Paul after
lunch. Leo told us a story. ‘It was once a church, but after many battles, it became a big strong wall,’ said
Leo. It was a nice thing. Then Levin said, ‘ Ah? Five, it’s tea time.’ We went to a good café and ate a lot of
famous egg tarts. ‘ I don’t think I need any dinner,’ I said, eating a fresh egg tart. ‘ Me too.’ Levin agreed.
We went to Shen Zhen on a boat from Pearl River. We slept in the same room but not in same beds.
The next morning, we got off the boat in Shen Zhen. Then we saw a drone flying in the sky. Soon we
learned that Shen Zhen is China’s technology hub. Then we saw a small cute AI dog. ‘No wonder Shen
Zhen is China’s technology hub,’ my friends and I said. We also saw driverless cars in the streets. After five
minutes, it was lunch time. We went back to the boat and ate lunch on it.
We went to Ping An Tower. ‘Wow! It is so tall!’ We all said. It was also full of lights. ‘It’s nice.’ We could
not sleep that night because we could not forget the lights on Ping An Tower.
I woke up, ‘Achoo.’ Snored Leo. ‘Shhh,’ said Levin. ‘I am sleeping,’ he added. ‘Oh! We’re in Dong Guan!’
I shouted. We got off the boat and went to an AI robots factory. ‘Wow!’ we shouted. ‘How amazing!’ said
Leo. “Look at how fast these robot hands move,’ I said. After that, we went back to the boat. We ate lunch
and the one next to us asked, ‘Why don’t you eat any breakfast?’ ‘We don’t know why,’ we answered. The
bells rang and the doors banged, and we were quiet.
The doors opened again and we got off. This time we were in Guangzhou. We went to Chang Long Park
first. We played there and said, ‘Ah! So nice.’ We said other nice things about it.
Then we walked up to Guangzhou Tower and lay there eating dim sum. ‘The lights are as bright as the
lights on Ping An Tower,’ we said. We went to a hotel. Got to sleep and chatted. The next morning, we
got out of the hotel and took a high-speed train back to Hong Kong. We finished our wonderful journey!
