A Trip to Xinjiang

翁錦睿

There is a Chinese map in my room. It looks like a big rooster. “它”昂首挺胸，十分威武。小時候，爸爸經常會和我講，這張地圖上有很多有趣的地方。I want to go everywhere on the map.一天，我指著“公雞”的尾巴說： “I want to go here.” “Ah， this is Xinjiang.”從此， 我對新疆充滿了好奇和向往。This summer holiday， our family made a trip to Xinjiang. 我終于如愿以償了。

We drive along Duku Highway（獨庫公路）and enjoy the beautiful scenery. 你知道嗎？在一天的時間里我們居然經歷了四個不同的季節。From “spring”to “winter”， from sunny to snowy， its such a special day for me！前一秒太陽公公還在送來溫暖，下一秒“白雪仙女”已經揮舞起她的魔棒。Its so magical！ Xinjiang is like a magician（魔術師）and brings us such a surprise.

One of my dreams is riding a white horse on the grassland. Wow！ It becomes true now. 此刻，我多么像一個凱旋的將軍！ I sit on the back of the horse and look forward. I laugh， sing and hug the wind. 遠處的山丘高高低低的，仿佛正在比賽誰離天更近。Suddenly， a blue and green lake comes in front of me. 湖面波光微漾。這就是著名的“賽里木湖”，當地人告訴我們，它是“大西洋的最后一滴眼淚”。

We can find so much delicious food in Xinjiang. 看！有哈密瓜、大棗、葡萄干、羊肉串、黃酥油、奶疙瘩。I like Kawasi（卡瓦斯） best. 它的味道像酒釀一樣香甜可口。The most famous food in Xinjiang is mutton strings（羊肉串）. 它們在燒烤架上發出“嗞嗞”的響聲，香氣撲鼻。How yummy！ 這味道只有親自品嘗過才會知道呢！

What a wonderful trip！ We had a good time in Xinjiang. I like Xinjiang so much. 到去新疆走一走，看一看，嘗一嘗，一定會讓你覺得不虛此行，收獲滿滿哦！
