Water sprite? Water sprite!


TianchiAs a tourist attraction, the Changbai Tianchi never lack of tourists, but because the legends about the water sprite, Tianchi is always covered with a layer of mystery.

By : Wankun Liu  130306118  Class 1
In 2002, in the slope, north of Changbai Mountian, two local people found “monsters”. In 2005, water sprite appeared again. The witnesses said it was like a whale or a submarine. In 2006, the “Monster” swam in the North Korean side of the water. It was channeling up and down, just like a water seal. From the telescope, it looked black and not very big. Somebody said it like a dinosaur, somebody considered it as a big iron, others thought it was a Buffalo. It disappeared in the water for ten minutes. At that time, more than one hundred visitors saw it. In 2013, hundreds of visitors saw two monsters playing and swimming in the Tianchi’s lake.

Somebody thought the so-called monster is only an illusion, others thought that this is a way to attract the local tourists. Is water sprite really in Tianchi’s lake? Let’s take a closer take about Changbai Tianchi.

Famous Tianchi is located in the Changbai mountain peak volcanic vertebral at the top of the body and it is China’s largest crater lake. Tianchi is surrounded by many peculiar-looking peaks. Every year, there will be a spectacle that the fire could run out of the water. It’s amazing! For the material in the lake is in contact with water, and it will produce flames. Not all tourists can see the spectacular sight of Tianchi, Tianchi’s climate varies from minute to minute. Sometimes within one day, or even an hour, weather may change several times. Just or sun point-blank, anxious to bake, suddenly the wind come up and the rain fall down. Mountain and lake drowned in the wind and rain.Water sprite

Because there have been sightings of the water sprite, the scientists set up “Tianchi monster observation station” near the lake. Researchers carried out a long-term observation, and shoot from the valuable data, confirmed that unknown creatures in the water. But what is the specific biological, they don’t know. They got the Tianchi water for many times tests proved Tianchi water without any creature. Since there is no biological, if there is a monster, what it eat? This series of questions that make the Tianchi more mysterious and beautiful, attract more and more people to watch.

Of course, there is a beautiful legend about Tianchi. It is said that a fire breathing devil in Changbai Mountain, the whole mountain vegetation withered, all flames blot out the sun, people’s life were very hard. A girl named azalea, in order to overcome the devil, holding ice drill into its belly, to extinguish the fire. The fire was put out, then the peak into lake.
Is there a monster in the Tianchi? Up to now it is a mystery. But still many things for us to admire like white clouds, blue sky, clear water and the magic of nature.

Nazi Auschwitz administration control area of 40 square kilometers, including three camps: main Auschwitz, cloth hot gold camp, Emolument’s camp.Moulmein, camp, including 40 small camps, distribution of the Silesian region in southern Poland.

Nearly 6000 people lost their lives here every day, some people are used to do medical experiment, some people from hunger, fatigue, dead tired, and most of the people into each appearance seems to be the gas Chambers of the bathroom. Being deceived by the jews, that they carry all the goods were empty, even wear clothes, shoes and hats, rings, earrings and hair, teeth and skin will be stripped. In the different of the martyrs memorial gallery, Nazi Germany before finally dislodged the remains of the victims: 7.7 tons of hair, 14000 people of woven blankets, 350000 pieces of omen’s clothing, 4 Wan Sichuan shoes, 5000 pairs of shoes, there are mountains of tableware, mouthwash, razor, shoe polish, glasses and write the name of the trunk. 35 Auschwitz has built special warehouse used to store classification from the prisoner steal stolen goods.

You may ask me : “Are you superman???Are you iron man???”
I will tell you: “NO, I’m just an Africa pedigree bull.”

bullfighting
ID:130306226     Zhuoxun Gong    class 1

I am living in Spain, Bullfighting is the most traditional of Spanish Fiestas. The Spanish people consider this art forms which are intimately linked with their country’s history, art and culture.  Pressure groups attempt to lobby against bullfighting yet the King of Spain himself has allegedly stated that the day the EU bans bullfighting is the day Spain leaves the EU.

Bullfighting can be traced back to ancient days. This art popular spectacles in ancient Rome, but it was in the Iberian Peninsula that these contests were fully developed by the Moors from North Africa who overran Andalucia in AD 711. Bullfighting developed into a ritualistic occasion observed in connection with feast days, on which the conquering Moors, mounted on highly trained horses, confronted and killed the bulls.

Romero’s grandson, Pedro Romero, developed all the passes and moves which to this day are seen at a bullfight. He retired in his eighties after killing more than 5,600 bulls without ever being hurt. Thus Ronda is considered the home of bullfighting.

Bullfighting season in the Spain is March to October. In bullfighting season, there are two games will be held every Thursday and Sunday. If it is in the festival and National Day, people can watch it every day.

You can visit the bullring in Ronda which houses a small bullfighting museum. The bullfighting season in Ronda is from April to October though fights are quite infrequent. Check with the tourist office next to the bullring.

Spanish people are enthusiastic and full of passion, they all love bullfight very much. Bullfighting is a unique scene of Spain and it is famous in the world. Although people are dispute this activity from the point of view of animal protection, but as the traditional festival in the Spain, it also welcomed by many people.

Cattle show in Spain also gradually lost past scenery, appearing twilight scene. In July 2001, Spain announced a ban on sales of dead male beef in the market. But selling bull beef is the main income of the cattle-breeders, the ban means that they will be unable to afford the high cost of domesticated and give up raising bulls. Even the world famous Spanish bullfight there will be no bull fights. Bullfighting is the traditional program of Spain, and other countries seem to haven’t carry out this project.

People always feel like that Spanish bullfight very cruel, but today there is a another view about the bull: with respect to pulled the us to the slaughterhouse directly, let us struggled with the Matado may be more humane. Because in this process, as a bull, we can also like a man with honor and soul. Since we destined to be eaten by human beings, why not let us have the opportunity to take revenge?”

Travel Nanjing


As we all know, Nanjing is a ancient capital of six dynasties and now, it’s the capital of Jiangsu. It has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties. Every city has its story, so does Nanjing. Office of the President, Xianfeng Bookstore, Nanking Massacre Memorial Hall, Xuanwu Lake and Confucius Temple are well known all over the world.  

By: Siqi Mo 130908214  class 2

travel_nanjing01Sunny days have always been excellent days for traveling. When sunshine falls on your face, you smell the air as sweet and it brings you good mood. It was exactly such a lovely day that I went to Nanjing.

I went to the Office of the Present, Xianfeng Bookstore and Nanking Massacre Memorial Hall, seeing the famous places that everyone knows. But I was so tired of being surrounded by people. Moreover, beautiful sites full of people made me sick! So I visited some other places that were leisure and made me felt good.

travel_nanjing02Fancy a sup of tea? Enjoy a cup of Longjin tea by Xihu is fantastic for tea-lovers, isn’t it? How about having a cup of British tea in an old city like Nanjing? Nanjing combines not only ancient and modern culture, but also national and international factors. A British tea house called Annvita lays in Zhongshan Road No.100, Qinhuai district. After having several busy days in study and work, come to Annvita and have a cup of rose tea with your friends, chatting and laughing…How relaxing it is! Look at the picture below, flowers are blooming on the teapot and cups, the beauty of them brings more relaxation to your heart. No sooner had my bad mood vanished than I saw the cups and the dessert.

travel_nanjing03It was a great experience walking under phoenix trees. Finding a quiet place to wander around in such a short break wasn’t easy. Everywhere was crowded. Phoenix trees have been thought to be the courtyard ornamental plants since ancient days. And nowadays they are always used to green the roads. They bloom in April. According to legend, phoenix trees can sense the leap year: they grow 12 leaves on each branch in common years, but 13 leaves on each branch in leap years. However, it is confirmed to be coincidence finally. But phoenix trees can sense the autumn is a truth. When their leaves fall down, we could tell that the autumn is coming.

travel_nanjing04Get tired after walking all day? Then just sit down and have a good meal in Nanjing Restaurant, we call it Nanjing Dapaidang! Here you can try local and special food of Nanjing. The restaurant was set up in 1994, and it has never changed its menu since then. Its decoration is like old inn, it’s so “Nanjing”. You feel as if you had come back to ancient days sitting inside. There I tasted Slice lotus, it was sweet. As a Cantonese, I like sweet food so it just suited my taste!

travel_nanjing05Furthermore, wandering around university in Nanjing is a good choice, I think. Even the schools are full of ancient breath. Take the picture on the left for example. It’s a building of Nanjing University. It’s an old school and it has fostered many intellectuals. Chinese brick houses are seen everywhere in the university.

If you really want to get close to Nanjing, just choose quiet places and have a good trip!
