Ramble among the mountainous landscape


I 'm now going to give a presentation on the mountainous ramble.


Having first considered hesitantly which place I would mostly like to visit during the month of October, I stared at the beautiful photos in the computer. Which tourist spot?

It was a cool October afternoon last year. The white clouds were flying in the sky. The temperature was between twenty-four and twenty-five degrees centigrade. Weather : fine. We crossed the Sun Kay Bridge, which linked the Sun Kay Road towards the Lung Yan Temple. On the way we saw big mountains with bare rocks in spurs. Some tall trees were roaring in the wind. We saw many flowers and plants such as bottle gourd, snake gourd, towel gourd (絲瓜), yellow chrysanthemum, dark green bamboo groves.... They were as fresh as the vegetables in the markets. Some of the gourds were curly planted on flower stands in front of the little gardens of the 'pan uks'. Breeze blown by caused the leaves leaning right and left. In the open tracts along the hillside, where sweet mountain grass grew thick and strong. The greenery scenery was attractive.

We also saw a tiny jade lizard with a long tail in the small foliages. We caught sight of it accidentally. It hopped here and there quickly. A colourful butterfly was flying gracefully among the small bushes.

I saw that the sun was sinking in the west, it shone with a reflected light upon the rocks and the dark-leaved pine made the spot more attractive than ever. Darkness soon drew the curtains of night around us and I left Tai O reluctantly in that evening.


Thank you.
Mary.

千里送鵝毛,物輕情義重。

禮物貴重與否,其實並不重要。所謂「千里送鵝毛,物輕情義重。」只要是出自真誠,那怕是輕如鵝毛,也足以令人感動。
