Our climbing journey has begun. The scenery along the way is particularly good, with many large and small waterfalls. Friends took pictures with each other and chatted. When they were tired, they stopped to rest and danced after resting enough. Haha, it added a lot of fun to the climb. (Warm tip: You can prepare some snacks and water yourself. I saw one in the store. A bucket of instant noodles costs 10 yuan, and a bottle of water costs 5 yuan.) …Climbing the mountain is really tiring. I wanted to go back halfway. Haha, my calves were shaking unconsciously, but my friends’ encouragement made me persist. Fortunately, I didn’t give up. The scenery at the top of the mountain is really beautiful. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, the view in front of me suddenly opened up. The beautiful scenery of the mountain made me feel relaxed and happy. It was really healing. The joy was beyond words~
