On my first trip in the United States, I went to San Antonio. I was on foot. So I went to only three places there: the Alamo, the River Walk, and the Art Gallery. I especially enjoyed visiting the Alamo, a well- known building in America. When I arrived at the Alamo, I was deeply impressed because it was well kept and in good shape. The Alamo was erected in about 1722, was later used as a fort (保垒), and has been kept as a state monument (纪念馆) to the Texan War of Independence against Mexico. During the battle, all of the Texan defenders were killed. I was surprised at the exhibition of rifles, guns, cannons and swords. I was especially attracted by the paintings of a war. The paintings expressed the feelings of a painter very well. Even though about 160 years have passed since the Battle of the Alamo, the exhibit is well kept. When I came out after seeing the exhibition, I felt as if I had a victory. The outer wall of the Alamo was destroyed here and there. When I touched the wall, I could feel the damage. After the war, little remained of the Alamo. All of the windows and doors were destroyed. The top part of the gate way disappeared without a trace (遗 迹). I will remember the Alamo forever. It is one of the best places to visit in San Antonio. | |||

The name of Macau comes from the word Magao (A-Ma Temple), which were shrines (圣地) dedicated to Mazu, a holy sea goddess worshiped by Macau people. It was said that when the Portuguese people first came here in the middle of sixteenth century, one of the officers asked a fisherman the name of the land. The man misunderstood the officer"s question, and answered "Magao"- the name of A-Ma Temple in front them. Many people wonder how Macau is spelled. Is it "Macao" or"Macau"? Both are actually correct. Macao is Portuguese, and this is the official spelling backed by Macau SAR Government. Macau is English, that"s how they spell it in the U.S. and other parts of the world. However, most publications use"Macau" as the preferred spelling. Members of the Southern Song Dynasty and some 50,000 followers were the first recorded inhabitants (居民) of the area, seeking shelter in Macau from invading Mongols in 1277. They were able to defend their settlements and establish themselves there. The Hoklo Boat people were the first to show commercial interest in Macau as a trading center for the southern provinces. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1643), fishermen migrated to Macau from various parts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces and built the A-Ma Temple in which they prayed for safety on the sea. Chinese fishermen have been living and working in the Pearl River Delta for more than four thousand years. The small peninsula and islands that came to be called Macau were first settled by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. In 1998, Chinese (Cantonese) was given official status and the same legal power as Portuguese, the official language. The Chinese government assumed sovereignty over Macau on December 20, 1999, ending 329 years of Portuguese rule. | |||
