Standing on the top, you may feel as if you’re in the clouds. 4 Jinbian Shenzhu is one of them. It’s about 120 meters high, standing straight into the sky. Motian Ridge (摩天岭), the highest part, is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset. There is also a skywalk—an 8-kilometer road built on the side of steep cliffs (悬崖). Walking there can be scary but very exciting. 5 You can take the cable car (缆车) up to enjoy the views. You can also use the lift if you don’t want to walk too far. No matter when you visit, you’ll find beautiful things here: strange pine trees on cliffs, sunrise over Motian Ridge, and seas of clouds. Wuzhifeng is really worth visiting!

Worrying about the future is actually a normal part of life. But if you spend a lot of time worrying about bad things that don’t happen, it will be a big trouble. 2 For example, it might make it hard to pay attention to what you’re doing or what people are saying. Here are different ways that can help you. 3 For example, if you are afraid that you’ll fail the exam, then you should take three deep breaths (呼吸) and remind yourself that you have prepared well and it’s OK. Secondly, you can also find out what you’re worrying about and then face it. For example, instead of thinking “What if I miss the ball when I try to kick it?”, ask yourself “What if I score the goal?” Finally, pay more attention to something else rather than your worries. For example, listen to your favourite songs or do some exercise. 4 Most worries never happen. They are just human thoughts and the bravest thing you can do is not to let the worries win.
