I have a beautiful hometown with beautiful scenery and fruitful achievements. It is a charming place.
In spring, the trees there sprout new branches and grow green leaves. The ice in the creek melted into clear water, flowing gurglingly. The small fish and shrimps are swimming happily in the water. The farmer uncle came to the field, pulled out radishes, Chinese cabbage, and buried the seeds of broad beans in the soil, so that he would have a good harvest as soon as autumn came.
It’s really hot in the summer, the big rooster is drooping its wings, and the dog is so hot that it sticks out its tongue. The cicada was so hot that she didn't know what to do. She kept shouting under the tree: "I know, I know, I know." The children there are not afraid of the heat. Look at them naked and wearing shorts catching loaches in the creek!
In autumn, the waves of rice in the fields bring the joy of harvest to the farmer uncle. The apples in the orchard blushed with shame, the bananas bent over with laughter, and the dragon fruit grew its beautiful hair.
In winter, snowflakes are floating in the sky, the ground is covered with snow blankets, the trees are covered with silver, and everywhere is pure white. The friends had a great time building snowmen and having snowball fights on the snow!
This is my beautiful hometown, I love my hometown! 2. Essay on Shaohua Mountain 350

After we drove there, we looked around and found that the Fourth Master and the others had not followed us, so we decided to find a shady place to stop the car and wait for the Fourth Master and the others. After staying there for a while, I felt a little uncomfortable. When I was hungry, I asked my mother for money and went to the store to buy food.
After a while, they arrived, so we went to buy tickets. My father took me there to measure my height to see if I needed to buy a ticket. After measuring it, I saw that I didn’t need to buy a ticket, so I went to help others. Tickets bought. After buying the tickets and entering the gate, we parked the car in a shady place and rested for a while while they booked the hotel.
We rested in the hotel. In the afternoon, we went hiking, and there were so many people there! Some people climb up and some go down. We just climbed up. The steps were trembling, so we had to go up and down slowly. There were chairs and trees on both sides. We arrived at a small pavilion and walked away. After a while, when I was playing in the river, I accidentally fell into the river. I quickly stood up and waited for the skirt to dry.
When we were playing, my mother and grandfather took a lot of photos for me. When I was going down the mountain, I saw a small shop, so I went to buy two ice creams, one for my cousin and one for me.

I look at the campus scenery
The air is filled with a quiet atmosphere, with a little freshness, buildings, grass, Teachers, classmates, playground... quietly open the balcony window and look up, oh, the sun is smiling and lighting up your campus.
The morning light is hazy and melodious. Bright white lights shine in every corner of the classroom. Everything seems so bright and warm. We continued as usual, holding textbooks in hand and reading aloud. My eyes accidentally glanced outside the window, ah! When did such a lovely figure appear next to the quiet railing in the past? Fist-sized birds stood there, twisting their little heads from time to time, as if they were listening. Yes, they are listening to our loud reading.
Time flies, and now I have stepped into the classroom of the second grade of high school, and the scenes of the past are still vivid in my mind. In these days when the clouds are light and the wind is light, there are too many books. The sadness that does not belong to our age comes in and entangles deep scars on the ivy of the years, but it is also full of laughter and joy. In every corner of the campus, I feel the campus life, and my relationship with the campus. Life, my contact with the campus, there is an ocean of knowledge, hard-working gardeners, accumulation of emotions, diligent students, roommates who care about each other...
And, in the second year of high school, we are between liberal arts students and science students. Students choose different lives and lives, and each of them is getting closer to their dreams step by step in the happiness of themselves and the campus.
Listening to a warm song, I sat in a corner of the campus, opened a book in the afterglow of the setting sun, wrote something new, and collected it in the leaves and sandwiched it in the book. Sadness and happiness are simple things. Words flow at the fingertips to record the stories in time. Maybe life is so colorful, carrying history on its back, absorbing thousands of years of accumulation in the rolling tide of time, or walking from the South Pole to the North Pole, along the longitude and latitude, even if you occasionally lose the coordinate position, you will always walk in the direction of happiness; Holding a favorite book, swimming in the ocean of philosophy, looking for Platonic comfort; occasionally lying on the desk with clear lines in physics class to write about my mood or sleeping peacefully. Sometimes I complain that rote learning is boring and read the thick information. Experience this unbridled youth.
At this time, turn to the simple and unassuming youth in another corner of the campus, the simple and harmonious movement from school to home. ADP continuously combines with phosphoric acid to convert into ATP, burning the remaining frivolity in the flower season and rainy season. The exercises are as thick as a dictionary, and the test papers fall one by one like the fallen leaves of autumn withering away the lightly dancing cardamom years. It may seem boring and pathetic to others, but they enjoy themselves. I like to do chemical and biological experiments and watch the chlorophyll slowly climb up the filter paper and turn into orange, red, yellow and green pigment bands. The blurry colors blur the gorgeous marks of youth. Solving a test question and understanding a knowledge point is like climbing Mount Everest. Life is so monotonous, from monotonous to simple, from simple to happy, and from happy to like.
My campus is not only friends, classmates, teachers, but also you and my campus accompany me through the four seasons of the year, admiring "the elegant orchids in spring, the pale lotus in summer, the gorgeous chrysanthemums in autumn, and the moving... "Ao Mei", the seeds are cultivated by gardeners, and the faint floral fragrance fills the campus. Because the school is the cradle of cultivating talents, my life with the campus, the accumulation of interesting knowledge and emotions, is a unique scenery.
You accompany me so silently and intimately, and quietly light the sailing light of life for me. Every minute, every moment, every moment, I feel it in my heart, now and forever in the future, I will never forget you: my campus. 4. Sentences describing the scenery of Huashan Mountain
Xiyue Huashan Mountain is located in Huayin City, Shaanxi Province. It overlooks the Yellow River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south.

The lotus pond is covered with stone lotus flowers. If you want to pass by the lotus pond, you must walk through the stone lotus flowers. This is called "lotus flowers step by step". Be careful when walking Echeveria and not go too fast.
Otherwise, the gaps between so many echeverias would definitely fall into the water. After walking through the lotus pond, a huge lotus fountain appeared.

The Jungle Valley Scenic Area is a primitive forest area deep in the Qinling Mountains and is inaccessible. The Shaohua Peak Scenic Area is majestic and majestic, but usually only travelers can cross it, and the entrance is elsewhere, so you can actually visit Hongya Lake, Shimen Gorge, and Qianlong Temple. 3 scenic spots.

You can take the cableway and fly to the east side of the mountain, and then hike 1.8 kilometers to get there.

The water is 30 meters deep, with shimmering waves and reflections on the cliffs, making the scenery picturesque.
Cross the covered bridge, return to the main road from the east side of the dam, and take a sightseeing car to wind its way up. The mountains are majestic and continuous, with towering peaks and upright cliffs. The clear water in the valleys is dotted with strange rocks, some soothing shoals, or rapids and rocks. Along the way, we pass through scenic spots such as Crescent Lake, Hongya Cliffs, Kou Gong Temple, Cableway Lower Station, Monkey King Peak, Du Mutai, and the Empress Temple, and arrive at the parking lot of Shimen Gorge Scenic Area in about 20 minutes.
The Shimen Gorge Scenic Area has towering cliffs, rapids, rapids, waterfalls, lush forests and bamboos. The canyon landscape is diverse and magical. At this point, the valley is no longer open, and the mountain road gradually becomes rugged and steep, but you can still take a battery car (5 yuan) through Shimen to the parking lot of Shichuan Farmhouse, which is about 1.5 kilometers. If you have a car, you will never take an extra step. Except for Xiaoxiao and me, if no one is riding, just treat it as a special car.
When you look up, you will see a confrontation between the stone gates, which suddenly open in the middle. It is as if the mountain barrier that blocks the inside and outside has been split open by an angry giant with an axe. It is amazing.
Tourists blocked the car on the road, and the driver of the battery car did not take it halfway according to regulations. Arrive at the Stone Ship Farm Stay parking lot, where all vehicles end, and begin the hike.
Crossing the Baishi Bridge to Jiulongxuan, the waterfall is like a wide curtain hanging over the river. There are rocks and dangerous shoals under the waterfall, the stream is tinkling, the water quality is crystal clear, and it is chilly to the bone. Throwing stones with a smile, playing in running water, climbing boulders, not caring about getting your shoes and pants wet, forgetting everything. Strangely, there are no fish in the water on the mountain, but there are tadpoles that are unusually large.
On the waterfall is the Jiulongxuan stone boat. Nestled among the green mountains and trees, a huge painting boat floats quietly in a clear water (actually it is a stone boat in the water). There are several unknown trees on the deck. The flowers are blooming brilliantly, and visitors can cross the pontoon to board the boat.
When you arrive at Jiulong Pond, the mountain stream rushes down between the rocks and gathers into a pool of clear water. Set against the backdrop of the white rocks, green vines, secluded paths and green trees, it is hard to leave.
Panting and climbing up a steep flight of stairs, we arrived at Jiulong Pass. Here, there are majestic cliffs on one side and deep valleys on the other side. The terrain is dangerous and the pass can only allow two people to pass by. Nine heroes of Liangshan Wenlong Shijin once gathered here.
Walking forward from Xiaguan, I was hungry. In the distance, among the rocks and trees, I could vaguely see the houses. In front of the stairs, there are several farmhouses. The larger one has a huge stone embedded in the front of the courtyard, a stone foundation, and more than ten houses with white walls and red roofs - it is called the Red House Farmhouse. There are seven or eight dining tables under the awning, as well as a shop. The environment is elegant and the people are very nice. Let’s have a meal first. Xiaoxiao is very good at getting close to each other, asking questions and answers with the owner, and taking close-up photos of the owner, the chickens, etc.
There is a grinding plate in front of the kitchen, and the owner is making a special snack - glutinous rice cake. The potatoes are steamed, crushed with a large wooden hammer on a grinding plate, mixed with flour and other raw materials, whether it is steamed or boiled, made into a dough, and cut into pieces. It takes a lot of effort. Xiaoxiao saw how vigorously people were smashing it, so she couldn't help but try it. When she weighed it, she realized that it looked like Li Yuanba's hammer. She almost swung it out, which made the onlookers laugh.
The meal consisted of fried pork with green pepper, tomato and egg noodles, glutinous rice cakes, and vegetable steamed buns. The two of them were in a hurry, and the cups and plates were in a mess. You can stay here for 10 yuan per hour during the day and 80 yuan at night. Since half a month ago, I contacted the accommodation department of the scenic spot management committee, but the answer has always been that there are no vacancies. If we had known this, we could have set off from home early in the morning and gone straight to Shaohua Mountain and stayed overnight on the mountain. The tour time and route arrangement would have been more reasonable. Decided to stay here for the night.
Not far away, we reached Jinchan Lake, where the clear water was like a mirror and the peaks were reflected. Further up, you will find gorges, peaks, streams, ravines, beaches, rocks, bridges, and trees. The beautiful scenery along the way makes people stop and linger.
Arriving at Juxian Bay, the canyon blocks out the sky and the sun, with rugged cliffs and jagged strange walls. In the more than 100-meter-long valley, there are shoals and strange rocks. It is said that the Eight Immortals once conquered demons and wandered here. .
Continuing forward, the road sign indicates that a trail leads to Tianxian Waterfall. Turn to the trail and cross a long rope bridge. Many tourists are shaking hard on the bridge, stumbling and staggering, which is very interesting. I smiled and named the bridge Grandma Bridge - Shake 7. Good sentences to describe the scenery of Huashan Mountain
Huashan Mountain in Xiyue
Huashan Mountain is known as "the only road in Huashan Mountain since ancient times, the most dangerous mountain in the world" .
"", we "climbed" hard on the steep Huashan Mountain, admiring the famous Huashan Mountain while "climbing".
I have seen Zhangjiajie with rugged rocks, and visited Guilin with beautiful scenery Mountains, but I have never seen the mountains in this area of ??Xi'an. The mountains in Xi'an are so high. The mountains rise straight into the sky. Looking from the foot of the mountain to the mountains, you can't see the end at all. The mountains in Xi'an are really high. It is strange, like a blooming lotus, like a galloping horse, and like a shy girl. It is really a collection of strange peaks with various postures; Huashan Mountain in Xi'an is so steep, although there are iron rails built on both sides of each road. There are chains and railings, but if you are not careful, you may still fall down.
When you reach "Canglong Ridge", the road corresponds to the name - it is built on the top of a steep and narrow mountain. The road carved out by the tool looks like a majestic dragon resting on the mountain, hence the name "Canglong Ridge". But when I looked at it from a distance on the cable car, it looked more like the trace of a giant ax opening a small slit. Going up to "Canglong Ridge", my feet were a little shaky, and my hands couldn't help but hold the iron chain on the side of the road. It took me three or four seconds to even walk up the steps, let alone look back, or even I didn't even dare to take another look at the beautiful mist-shrouded scenery beside me. When I finished walking through "Canglong Ridge", I breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked behind me, and realized that "Canglong Ridge" was so beautiful and charming. : The "Canglong Ridge" in the distance is completely submerged by clouds and fog. Because of this, the "Canglong" at the front is more like a ladder falling from the sky. What's even more strange is that most of the bodies of some distant mountains are swallowed up by the clouds and fog. The mountain has eclipsed, leaving only the top of the mountain, which makes people feel as if they have entered a fairyland and see the fairy island floating in the sky above the clouds and mist. This also reminds me of the sentence in Kou Zhun's poem "Raise your head in red" The sun is approaching, looking back the white clouds are low. "
In fact, Huashan Mountain not only has charming scenery, but also has produced many legends, the most famous of which is "Agarwood split the mountain to save her mother." It is said that the Third Holy Mother, the daughter of the Jade Emperor, admired the talent of the mortal scholar Liu Yanchang. They were married privately. Later, they were discovered by the Jade Emperor and gave birth to their son under the Three Holy Mothers Stone. When he grew up, he was instructed by the Immortal Stone to split the boulder, and the mother and son were reunited. Also named "Axe Splitting Stone"
Huashan is a beautiful mountain, a magical mountain, and a mountain that gives a thumbs up to all tourists!
