"Bang bang ..." We embarked on the train of our dream trip to Xinjiang.

along the way, the air was fresh and sweet, and the sky was blue and profound. Continuous mountains, dense branches and leaves are clearly discernible.

First of all, in Lanzhou, we saw the Sun Yat-sen Bridge with a long history, which is called "the first bridge in the world". It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very strong. The whole bridge is made of iron. Below the Zhongshan Bridge is the Yellow River. On the shore lies a mother, stroking her children. This is the statue of the Yellow River mother. Here, we know that the Yellow River is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, and it is our mother river. We should better protect the mother river. We took the first commemorative photo of this trip here!

Then, we arrived at Jiayuguan, which is called "the first male pass in the world", which is the westernmost end of the Great Wall. Jiayuguan Tower is very magnificent, with several doors, one of which has a brick on it. There is a beautiful legend about this brick! A general asked the minister to repair the wall with 99,999 bricks. The general deliberately put an extra brick, saying that if there was one more brick, you would bring your head to me. When the minister finished repairing, he found an extra brick. At this time, a fairy ordered the minister to put the brick on the top of the city gate. When the minister refused, it was dark and the wall was about to collapse. The minister quickly put the brick away. Soon, the general came to check and found an extra brick, so he asked. The minister told him the story he made up, and the general believed it. Since then, the city wall has never collapsed. The trip to Jiayuguan gave me a deeper understanding of the diligence, courage and wisdom of the ancient working people!

then, we went to Dunhuang by train. We first visited the Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as the Thousand Buddha Cave, and then visited two scenic spots, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring. There is a gust of wind of 5-6 every night in Mingsha Mountain. When blowing, the sand will make a sound of "rustling sand", hence its name. What caught our eye was a very strange small sand dune, and there were teams of camels walking on the back of the sand dune, which looked like a beautiful desert landscape. So my mother and I couldn't wait to get on the camel and slowly walked to the top of Mingsha Mountain. We happily sang songs and took photos along the way. When we reached the top of the mountain, we looked around, surrounded by vast deserts. Just as we lamented that nothing grows here and there is no trace of green, my eyes were attracted by a small square of green at the foot of Mingsha Mountain. So this is the legendary crescent spring. Because this clear spring looks like a crescent moon from top to bottom, people call it a crescent moon spring. So, we slid down from the top of the mountain and ran quickly to the crescent spring to play. When I arrived at Crescent Moon Spring, I looked at it and said, "Wow! There are blue springs in the desert? ! It's incredible! Why is there water only here, but not elsewhere? Why do trees grow only here, but not in other places? " It's amazing!

Later, we came to the veritable "Fire Island" Turpan. As soon as we got off the bus, we felt the heat wave rolling, and the temperature here was as high as 4 degrees. It was really a veritable "fire island"! Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the mountains. Braving the heat and the heat wave, we came to the famous Flame Mountain. I saw the soil on the mountain burning red, as if the whole mountain was on fire. What attracts our attention most is the big and round pillar. How many people does it take to enclose it? It turns out that this is an electronic thermometer with a height of about 2 meters, and it is called the anchor needle. At this time, it showed a temperature of 71 degrees, which surprised us. Then, I remembered the unbearable heat when Tang Priest and his disciples went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. I really want to borrow the banana fan of Princess Tiefan to make it cool and pleasant!

There are too many beautiful scenery in Xinjiang. We also went to the endless Nalati Prairie, the beautiful Yaochi Wonderland Tianshan Tianchi, Horgos Port, Grape Valley and Jiaohe Old City ... I also met many children along the way. I was so happy to visit and play with them!

Ah, what an unforgettable trip! I am proud of the beautiful scenery of my motherland!

2 On the northern shore of Hainan Island, along the beach more than 1 kilometers long from Puqian Port to Dongzhai Port, there is a boundless mangrove forest, which appears in the sea like a great green wall: when the tide rises, the beach is submerged by the sea, the trunk is immersed in the water, and only the dense crown floats on the sea; After the low tide, the muddy trunk is exposed to the sea and intertwined, like a virgin forest, so it has the reputation of "marine forest" or "underwater forest". This is the famous Dongzhai mangrove forest in Hainan Island. Mangrove is a tropical tree growing on the beach, and a beach composed of mangroves is called mangrove beach. It is a biological beach like coral reef beach. In the tourist landscape of the beach, it has special charm and style. Mangrove beaches in China are distributed as far north as Fuding, Fujian Province, but the growth condition is not very good, because with the increase of latitude, mangrove species tend to become monotonous, individuals become short and sparse. Therefore, Hainan Island is the best place where mangroves grow in China, especially the mangrove beach with an area of 2,534 hectares from Puqian Port to Dongzhai Port. It is the best mangrove beach in China and was established as the only mangrove nature reserve in China in 198. Mangrove is not a red tree, it is evergreen all the year round. The mangroves here mainly include mangroves, red eggplant, Kandelia candel, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, water coconut, hornbeam and Avicennia marina. When visitors first saw mangroves, they saw that the roots of the pillars of mangroves were very thick and arched vertically and horizontally, and they were directly inserted into the soil. These branches can not only support the tree crown, but also absorb oxygen themselves. The epidermis of the root of the pillar has lenticels. There are interconnected pores inside. The underground roots of mangroves get normal gas exchange through aerial rooting, and do not suffocate in the mud. Therefore, mangroves are especially suitable for growing on the mudflats in the bay. With special adaptability and strong vitality, mangroves are rooted on the beach, like a tight and solid green wall on the sea, protecting the coast from erosion. If you gradually enter the depths of mangroves, you can see that there are some winding streams on the beach in the depths of dense forests, and there is water in the streams, which is still feasible for boats! It's ok to sail along the stream, but it's very difficult to cross the mangrove forest on foot. Because of the strange roots and branches of various mangroves, they are intertwined and bend east and west, forming a cross-disorderly defense line, which makes the passage blocked. There are many branches and roots of mangroves, and there are hundreds of air roots hanging from one tree! Such as red tomatoes, there are dozens or even hundreds of roots protruding obliquely from the trunk. The growth of this branch root makes mangroves take root and grow very firmly on the mudflat. It is also very interesting to observe the leaves of mangroves carefully. Mangrove leaves are thick and bright, which can reflect the strong sunlight on the sea, and there are short and dense hairs on the back of the leaves, which can prevent the seawater from flooding. It also has developed glands, which can excrete excess salt to maintain physiological balance. Its leaves and bark contain a kind of tannic acid and special red pigment, which protects the leaves of trees from rotting in seawater. Therefore, mangroves are very suitable for growing in the beach environment and are known as "coastal guards". In all kinds of mangroves, red eggplant is not large, and the trunk is generally two or three meters high, while Bruguiera gymnorrhiza is much larger, with branches as high as six or seven meters. Some trees have white stems, jade bone's ice muscles are general, and they are very handsome and beautiful, like bones. However, the most interesting thing about mangroves is their breeding methods. The seeds of most plants will take root and sprout only after they leave the mother's body and are buried in the soil, while mangroves are not. It didn't take root and sprout on the muddy beach, but began to sprout on the mother's body, grew into rod-shaped seedlings and hung on the tree. When it was mature, it fell off the tree and inserted into the soil. After a few hours, new buds sprouted on the top and roots were taken down on the bottom, and a red sapling began to grow. Otherwise, the seeds of mangroves would have been suffocated and died if they were buried in the mud. If the mangrove seeds fall when the tide is high, and the seeds fall on the water, they will drift around with the water. Ordinary mangrove seeds can be immersed in seawater for 4 months without losing their viability. Therefore, with strong vitality and the flow of seawater, mangroves can travel across oceans and grow and develop in foreign countries. The unique living environment of mangroves also provides a good place for the reproduction and survival of fish and shrimp. There are not only fish, shrimp and crabs growing here, but also wild pigs, otters and foxes. On the red eggplant tree, there are some mice whose nests are built in the dead leaves on the branches. All kinds of fruits and small fish and shrimp have become their main food. Rippling on the stream in the forest, it is often seen that all kinds of waterfowl inhabit the trees. Therefore, in this respect, mangrove beach not only has special tourism value, but also has high economic value. As people pay more and more attention to the protection of natural environment, it can be predicted that there will be more and better mangrove beaches on the subtropical and tropical beaches in China soon!

3 I climbed the Great Wall

In the fourth grade, I once learned a text called "The Great Wall", which described the long history of the Great Wall in Wan Li and the wisdom of the ancient working people. After learning this text, I was deeply impressed by the Great Wall. From then on, I had a dream that I must climb the Great Wall. The opportunity came. This summer vacation, I participated in the Beijing Summer Camp. On the way, I climbed the Great Wall as I wished.

On that day, we got up at dawn. On the way to the Great Wall, everyone seemed to have no spirit and started fighting in their dreams, but I was so excited that I couldn't hold back my excitement. The car drove for about an hour and finally reached the foot of the Great Wall.

Looking at the Great Wall from a distance, it looks like a long dragon, with a total length of more than 6,7 kilometers, from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west. After listening to the introduction of the tour guide, everyone cheered up and began to climb the Great Wall.

along the way, the tour guide told us that the Great Wall was built more than 2, years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was a great military defense project in ancient China. The astronauts who took the spaceship to the moon said that when they looked at the earth from a distance, they could see nothing but the Great Wall of Wan Li, which was like a long queue. From this, it can be proved that the Great Wall of Wan Li is a great miracle in the world. Climbing the Great Wall, I looked it up and down. The wall was tall and solid, made of huge strips of stone and city bricks. The city walls are paved with square bricks, which are very flat, like a wide road, and five or six horses can run in parallel. There are more than two meters of buttresses along the outer edge of the city wall. There are square watchports and shooting ports on the buttresses. On the top of the city wall, there is a city platform every few hundred meters, which is a fortress for stationing troops. I carefully observed the Great Wall and felt the hardships of the ancient working people. Stepping on the square brick under my feet and stroking the stone bars on the wall, I can't help but think of the working people. Just look at these countless stone strips, one piece weighs two or three thousand pounds, and there were no cars or cranes at that time. Can only rely on countless shoulders and hands to carry up this steep mountain step by step. The construction of the Great Wall embodies the sweat and wisdom of the ancient working people and is the symbol and pride of the Chinese nation.

Before we know it, we have climbed to the monument to heroes. The tour guide said that today is over and we have to go back. Finally, everyone reluctantly left the Great Wall. On the way back, I thought a lot. We must study hard and rely on wisdom to create miracles!

ah! I finally climbed the Great Wall ...
