Mountain Climbing

    It has been a long time since my last trip to climb mountains. Yesterday, I went to hills with my friends, that the spot is at Acheng District, near to Harbin. It is about 25 miles from Harbin. After a one hour and a harf trip, we arrived at Hengtoushan National Forest Park, it is a new park in Harbin, and the main entertainment is climbing. For us, who live in urban buildings, less wild life experience, live under tall building around area, face to crowd, hear noise, breath harmful gas, those all make us dull. So it is a great chance for us to have a relax in the forest.

    Hengtoushan is a part of Changbaishan mountain, the height is 737 metres, if you are in the sky to have a bird's eye view, you will see that the figure Hengtoushan hill just like an human ear, it is really interesting. At the corner of the hill, our guider told us it would take our 1.5 hours to reach to the top of the hill. Though it was very hot, you feeled cool when you under trees on your way to the top. There were many kinks of species of trees on the hill. Their shapes and poses were different too. One tree was similar with phoenix, and two tree were look like a couple, they made you amazing the nature power. It was just a nature oxygen bar, also lung of the city Harbin. Some places of the hill were dangerous, it needed teamwork to get rid of it, we reached top while having a good view of scenery, we lost part of our energe. Ater it, we drove to the feet of hill, and went to two trees who have above 1000 years old, the dragon tree and the phoenix tree. They were so big, and they were protected well.

    Time flied fast, it was afternoon after climbing, so we went to Hongxing Reservoir to have our lunch, it was a good meal, fresh fish soup gave us very special feelings, and the landscape besides Hongxing Reservior was like grassland, so many cows and sheeps on it, what a beautiful landscape, it made you comfortable.

    We nearly forgot our time there, the sunset told us to leave, at this time I began to realize that we had to go, but the day would always be a wonderful day in my summer vacation, hope to be there again, I love my mountain climbing trip.
