It is the rivers and Lakes Creek, beautiful jungle, where the men of literature and writing, but now, I will also enter the modernized city. Walking in the city and landscape, with children see another have a style of one’s own Hangzhou.

After a few hours by car, Qian Tang river began to appear in my sight, looking around, the sun shines through the river, the river slowly eastwards, glittering, such as numerous Silver Snake swimming. Distance, several patrol boat was not lost on the horizon……

Where the most interesting, should the number of Ling’anTianmu Mountain, it is a home be misfits mountain, where there is no stretch as far as eye can see the sea, there is no special delicious seafood, only the endless mountains. Although, there is no home waves grand, solitary smoke no desert, but there are also some distinctive beauty, surrounded by mountains and on the road, it is wide open to see, like a stone into a valley near stone, stone mandarin. There are waterfalls superposition, Bitan bunchy five waterfall pool, play pool, water lake, made me feel as if: “waterfalls three thousand feet, doubt is the Milky Way fell nine days.” The really be struck with fright, and ShimashiTaniaimi, the world famous australian.

The cheek of time a drop of tears–India


19300001337712131348007980520As one of the four great ancient civilizations of India, it still retains a lot of beauty and mystery stories. In addition to Buddhism, there is also a romantic love story of the taj mahal. Many people call it “time face a drop of tears”. Do you want to know what happened there? Let’s go to visit to India.

The taj mahal is located in the northern Indian city of agra, its mysterious and amorous feelings. Also because of its beauty is famous all over the world. But it’s just the princess of the taj mahal Hal’s grave. Why a grave is can attract so many people to visit? I think, probably because of the beautiful love story about it..

 

The story of the taj mahal is legendary. JiMan o · ba slave is said to be a pretty woman of Persian ancestry, shah jahan very dote on her. She is very kind, and she is good at all kinds of skills. When she was twenty-one years old, she is married to the prince kurram. After marriage, she and kurram share the joys and sorrows, hand, footprint battleground. In 1628, the kurram after a fierce war succeeded to the throne, he named his shah jahan, meaning the king of the world. JiMan · o ba slave also reached the highest palace title — — taj mahal. Her life is not successful, however, when she was 35 years old, she died in childbirth. Before she died, shah jahan asked what she wanted, the taj mahal, Hal told him, her only hope is that she has a unique mausoleum

 

Lost his beloved wife, shah jahan was inconsolable, overnight into his hair became gray, he no longer to carry on the war, the next day he returned to his country.

 

Shah jahan didn’t break his word, he took a lot effort to build the unique tomb in the world. Sunrise rises, the rising of the sun with the morning mist curled up on the river, as if to the taj mahal from sleep wake up, it is quiet at this time. At noon, the taj mahal in the top of the head blue sky white clouds, on water and green trees, and it always dazzling sunshine in South Asia, it is more grown exquisitely carved, sparkling. Wait until in the evening, the taj mahal ushered in it the most enchanting day. Under the setting sun afterglow, white taj mahal began from sallowness, golden yellow, gradually become pink, dark red, pale blue, with the rising of the moon, the final regression into silver. under the moonlight gently brushed, it said goodnight to the tourists, the taj mahal in the peaceful looks very elegant and chic,bright and charming.

 

Taj mahal, by Indian poet rabindranath tagore has described as “eternal a tear on the cheek. The taj mahal is a building for love, it is all made of white marble palatial cemetery, in one day in the different time and different natural light show different characteristics, its harmonious reflection symmetry, gardens and water together created countless visitors are amazed at the miracle. This is not the cold grave, it means the rebirth of love. This is the pride of India, the miracle of the world.

 

Taj mahal born for love, and the touching love story also let the taj mahal of brilliance in the later will still be attention. Local people said, despite more than 300 years to the sides of the taj mahal majestically stood two dark red mosque to protect it, even though every day there are always accompanied by hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world, but the taj mahal is lonely, as beside the rippling river, there is a lonely beauty expects her lover to return.




Touch my heart Kenting

Kenting is a small city in the south of Taiwan,  a small island. The beach is very beautiful! Although most of  cities of Taiwan are facing the sea,  the sea here  is the most beautiful. Kenting’s many scenic spots are on its left and right sides of the Hengchun Peninsula. In the frog Stone Park Beach trail on looking ahead, the Taiwan Strait, the Bashi Channel, the Pacific sea panoramic view, blue seawater has 3 different colors! 

Hengpeng Li 130306107 class 1

Kenting is a nice beach town in southern Taiwan. There is year-round sunlight . I have ever seen “Wayward Kenting”, which tells a love story of four young people. That deeply attracted me to go there.

I had a good time last summer vacation. My families and I went to Kenting for it. The scene there was really beautiful. Blue sea ,blue sky and the flying  sea mews made up of the  natural beauty. My father and I swam in the sea, and my mother lay on the beach for sun shower comfortably. What was more, we also went boating by ourselves. At the same time, we took many pictures for memory.

There is much enjoyment to be gained by strolling along the seashore. Many people who live far away from the sea envy those who live near it, like me. They sometimes form excursion parties and go there to spend their holidays. To gaze upon a calm sea and watch the ships as they move steadily and quietly through the water is very pleasant. But on a summer day, when the air is warm and the sky is blue, it is more pleasant to walk on the shore and collect pretty pebbles, shells, and seaweed. However, the most wonderful scene of the sea is witnessed during a storm, when the waves rise and fall with much grandeur.

At times they look like huge mountains with valleys between; and when they dash against the shore with a hiss and roar, they break into spray. Walking along the seashore is more than being a pleasure.

The sea breezes are highly beneficial, so, a walk along the seashore is recommendable to those who are so fortunate as to live at places where the seashore is within their easy reach.

From as far as you could see on the left and right was open water and sand. The splash of small was open water and sand. The splash of pieces of seashells lay scattered on the beach and small holes covered the sand where the crabs had dug in.

The wind felt soft and warm and the water not very chilling. Far in the distance the sun was changing colour from a yellow to an orange and then to a red ball hanging over the horizon. The horizon was a long grey line broken once by the outline of a ship or a fisherman’s boat. Here lays the peace and tranquility that poets, writers, and artists alike try to capture in words and paint.

I really like the sea. Seeing it makes me relaxed and peaceful. After sunset, the sea becomes so different from daytime. The sea breeze makes me comfortable. Walking without shoes feels great, because the sand is so soft. Sometimes, we will play games on the beach or make some sand sculptures. It’s really funny. Besides, there are many people on the beach, and we often talk to them or play with them. Therefore, it’s a good chance to make new friends there.

At night, the lights are all lit the roadside shops, small stalls selling all kinds of souvenirs, there are a variety of local snacks. Here, you can wear flip flops, painted tattoos, bubble PUB, drink tea, roadside stalls to eat, to experience the most authentic flavor of Taiwan.




Nepal—Up in the wind


up in wind—Nepal

Have you seen a film called “up in the wind”? The film, which was absurd but romantic, is about the story of a pair of youth in Nepal. Nepal is a mysterious and charming place, follow me to explore the romantic story belongs to Nepal now!

 By: Xi Juan Ye 130306120 Class 1

 Nepal is a peaceful and mysterious place, so in recent years, more and more Chinese people prefer travel to Nepal. This movie is about the journey of a group of Chinese people, where romantic story of a young couple happened.

There is traditional religious belief in Nepal, people here are more likely to gain the peace of the soul. People and animals can get along with each other happily here, such as elephants and people can play together in the river, people don’t have to worry that the elephant can attack them.

Some beautiful scenery in Nepal more desirable, and people here are very enthusiastic, they will provide the best food and service. Because the distance is close to China, it has become the first vacation choice of Chinese passengers.

With respect to the film, why it is called “up in the wind”? Many people are confused of that, but it has also become the highlight.

At first, the main character in the movie travel to Nepal very reluctantly because they think that poverty and regional conflict happens often in Nepal, where is not safe in the other words. But in the process of travel, they gradually discover the beauty of this small country.

The tour group to the happiest country in the world – Nepal, began the “journey of happiness”. From the beginning of the tour group nuisance, and shortly after building group  in situ dissolution, the hotel is a power failure midnight cry, alone in the top of the mountain inn, a local riots and so on a series of events in the process of travel group members look after each other and understand each other, everyone showed the most true to yourself.

The last day, Wang Can please everyone go paragliding. When several people standing on a cliff, carrying umbrellas tension when can we take off, coach, pointing across the mountains to the Woods to tell them: don’t worry, we have to wait for the wind. When the wind shakes the forest, everybody successfully soared into the sky. When circling in the sky, and everyone’s heart, there’s a slight sigh, traveling along the way, his life, in fact, are not in a hurry to make any decision or change. When you stand at the precipice of life, better do not move, do not rush forward to do perhaps, but quietly, waiting for the winds to.

Nepal is to give people spiritual peace, everyone here can get the safety of the soul. Life is of harmony and freedom to this land of livings. As the movie says, “people will feel stupid, because of ignorance temporarily make your heart covered with a layer of dust, which  does not  matter, there will always be blown open day.”

If you feel confused, come to Nepal, let your heart up in the wind.

Ocean Heaven —— Boracay


20120116170549_nfAts.thumb.600_0

Hey, have you ever heard of an island which is called “Boracay”? An amazing place which won the first prize in the Yahoo Tourism “the world’s most popular beach” award in 2007. The wonderful views really caught my sight when I looked through some pics of Boracay taken by a friend of mine. So, I travelled there with my family this February during winter holiday. To my surprise, Boracay is not only an “Ocean Heaven” with beautiful scenes, it also gave me some unforgettable expriences when I got along with some islanders there.

By:Keren Huang 130306243 class2

Boracay is in the middle Philippines and belongs to the Provice of Aklan. Cause that it’s not very far from my hometown Hangzhou, so the whole flight tour just cost us no more than 4 hours. After arrived at the Kalibo Airport, we took a ship to our final destination——Boracay.

Blue sky, blue sea and countless sailing boats,these constituted my first impression of Boracay. On the beach, there were lots of tourists from different countries. Some of them were enjoying the fantastic sunshine, others were swimming in the sea. What’s more,the sand in Boracay is pretty special, its grain is smaller than other kinds of sands and if you put your feet in the sand, you will feel a little cold. There were many children building their own “sand castle” on the beach. We walked along the beach, the clear fresh air made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Many sailing boats were working in the sea, some local fishmen and tourists were having fun in doing some fishing. There are various of tropical fish in the sea, it is not very hard for us to catch many strange-looking colorful ones. When felt tired, we bought some fresh orange juices, lay on the beach, enjoyed the soft wind and the warm sea wave.

Boracay is also a “food heaven”. In E’mall, we could eat many delicious foods from other countries, like the Greek food, Italian food, Japanese food and so on. In addition, there is a big seafood market in E’mall, we bought some food and found a restaurant to cook them for us, of course, really really yummy!

When we travelled in Boracay, we did receive many help from the local people. They are all very warm-hearted and willing to help others. The first night we arrived in Boracay, we lost our way to the hotel. Luckily, a kind local old man helped us to find our hotel although it was very late in the evening, I was relly moved by his behavior. When we went shopping, shop assistants always smiled at us and chatted with us whether we bought something or not. I met a humourous waiter in a seafood restaurant, he told me many interesting stories of Boracay and even volunteered to be a guide for us, we shared many jokes with each other.

To be honest, I felt very sad when left Boracay. The view of the beach, the fun of catching the fish, the happiness of chatting with local people…I would keep all these memories forever.

When left the Boracay, my mom said:

“Boracay just like heaven.”

Ocean Heaven.” I added.

Grassland scenery gives the first impression is refreshing! No large villages. Looking around the vast expanse of prairie at the foot extending to the end of the line of sight. The kind of smooth and soft curves. Makes you feel very comfortable. Run in the grasslands and the kind of contact with nature is no diaphragm and tolerance, so I love the prairie.See here is a blue sky blue beneath pure extreme, pure no trace variegated.
