22. My Travel Journal
Last summer, I went to Jiuzhaigou, which was an unforgettable experience.
Jiuzhaigou was beautiful. In the morning, we took a bus to the mountains. The blue sky, the green mountains and the white clouds held me entirely in their beauty. Standing on the mountains were some white and golden temples which created a peaceful atmosphere. After lunch, we went to some beautiful lakes. The lakes were also peaceful. They were blue and green, like some nice blue jewels falling on green mountains. The sunshine made them much more colorful and shiny.
We left there after supper. It was such a beautiful place that I will never forget it.
