Exercises
On 9th September, my friends and I went to climb the Luofu Mountain. We looked forward to the top of the mountain.
At 8: 00 a. m. we arrived at the foot of the mountain. We got out of the car. We went through the gate. Then we came to a pool with beautiful man-made springs(泉水). There is a big temple(庙). Hundreds of people visit the temple every day.
There are all kinds of plants in the mountain. Most of the trees are several hundred years old. Many birds are singing in the trees. The trees are tall and big. The air is very fresh.
After a long climbing, we were all tired. But we didn't give up. At 11:50 a. m., we got to the top of the mountain at last. We were very happy to enjoy the distant scenery(风景). We took some photos in order to remember the wonderful experience.
What a good time we had!
