Travel notes can be divided into many types. Those that focus on recording the itinerary are narrative travelogues; those that focus on expressing emotions are lyrical travelogues; those that focus on describing scenery and landscapes are landscape-based travelogues; those that use travel notes to illustrate a principle are reasoning travelogues. This is a 500-word travelogue for eighth graders that I recommend to you. Let’s take a look. Chapter 1: Changbai Mountain Travel Notes
On an exciting evening, we arrived at a small county town at the foot of Changbai Mountain, ready to visit the famous Changbai Mountain.
Early the next morning, we set off. We first came to the foot of Changbai Mountain, waited for the bus to take us to a place several hundred meters high from Tianchi, and then climbed the mountain. At the bottom of the mountain, it is about two thousand meters away from Tianchi. Halfway up the mountain is grassland, and sometimes there may be a few sparse trees. When we arrived at the bottom of Tianchi, we headed towards Tianchi. There are about a thousand steps from here to Tianchi, which are astonishingly high. It is surrounded by grass and wild flowers, like an endless green carpet decorated with colorful flowers. It is very difficult to go up to Tianchi, with more than 900 stone steps in the middle. Halfway through, we passed a small bridge with spring water under the bridge. The spring water is very clear and sweet. It can be said to be better than fairy water. After arriving at Tianchi, I couldn't help but admire it. Unexpectedly, nature is so ingenious that it creates a miracle. Tianchi is like two eggs fused together. The fog above it adds a bit of mystery. And Tianchi is at the highest point of Changbai Mountain, so the altitude is very high, as if it towers into the clouds, and there is heavy fog, so it is called Tianchi. There is a volcano next to it. The top of the volcano is gray and covered with volcanic ash. There are also many volcanic rocks there, some like lions, some like elephants, some like sheep...there are countless them.
Although I like Changbai Mountain very much, I have some regrets. Unfortunately, I did not visit the waterfalls and hot springs in Changbai Mountain, but I am still very happy because I saw the miracle of nature. Chapter 2: Travel Notes on Xili Lake
One morning, my mother took me to Xili Lake, where there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the fragrance of birds and flowers. Exquisite garden design and natural lake and mountain scenery outline the unique scenery of Xili Lake.
After entering the gate, the first thing we saw was many plants. Lush banyan trees, green bamboos, and various unknown trees to me. We walked on the boardwalk, and the clear blue sky and fresh air made us intoxicated. The mountains in the distance and the lush trees nearby, coupled with the slightly rippled lake surface, form a magical and beautiful dynamic painting. The mist gives the painting a mysterious veil.
Beside the trail, there is a pool. Half of the pool is covered with water hyacinth, and there are many shrubs and banana trees growing next to it. There was a large canopy nearby, and we went to the canopy to rest for a while. Then we walked along the wooden stairs next to the awning to the top of the mountain, turning several turns. Some elegant little wild flowers beside the wooden ladder swayed left and right under the blowing of the wind, as if they were cheering us on, and we were even happier. Finally, we reached a platform on the top of the mountain called Yingfeng Terrace. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of Xili Lake.
The wind brings us coolness, and it helps us wipe the sweat from our faces. We looked around and had a panoramic view of Xili Lake. The lake was calm, and a few small boats were sailing on the water, with their swaying oars leaving slight ripples. The trees around the lake are lush green and the flowers are dazzling. The beautiful scenery painted by nature is so beautiful! Chapter 3: Travel Notes on Huashan Mountain
I often hear people say: "When you return from the Five Mountains, you don't see the mountains." On National Day this year, I had the honor to go with my parents and friends to appreciate the scenery of Mount Huashan in Xiyue.
Huashan Mountain is not only majestic and steep, but also steep, with thousands of tall walls and towering peaks. It is famous for its steepness. Since ancient times, there have been "Huashan Mountain is the most dangerous mountain in the world" and "the most dangerous mountain in the world". reputation.
We drove to the foot of Huashan Mountain. I looked up and said, "Wow, Huashan Mountain is so high!" The stone steps going up the mountain were faintly revealed among the lush trees. We chose to outsmart the Huashan Road and climbed up hard. Along the way, my good friend Lu Yilin and my mother were far ahead. We passed Huashan Xionggu, Immortal Guide and other scenic spots and came to Wangyue Bridge. We rested for a while. The strange thing was that Dad and the others hadn't caught up yet. We continue to climb.
We climbed up the Feilong Ladder and saw that the Feilong Ladder was so steep, the stone steps seemed to be hanging from the sky. I grabbed the chain like a little monkey and climbed up using my hands and feet. Halfway through the climb, I looked down. The people below were like one person stepping on another person's head. My mother shouted anxiously from below: "Ruizi, don't look down, keep climbing up." Finally, we arrived at the North Peak. Standing on the top of the North Peak, it’s really like “the sun is approaching when you look up, and the white clouds are low when you look back.”
My mother told me that Beifeng is the lowest peak among the five peaks of Huashan Mountain. But from this mountain climbing, I learned a spirit of not being afraid of dangers and climbing bravely. This kind of spirit is also needed in our study. Chapter 4: Travel Notes on Taiwan
I have admired the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou and visited Hainan Island where the water and sky are the same color, but the most unforgettable thing for me was the cruise trip to Taiwan last summer.
We are on a cruise ship called Costa. It is as high as the fourteenth floor. It has a buffet restaurant, a swimming pool, a club... everything. Standing on the top deck of the ship, all the beautiful The scenery appears before the eyes like a landscape painting. When we walked into the cabin, the waiters greeted us warmly, and wonderful performances were shown to us every night. On the cruise ship, we can not only enjoy the mountains and rivers, but also enjoy delicious food from all over the world.
On the second day, we came to Sun Moon Lake to watch the sunset. Its area is 2246 square meters. Sun Moon Lake is divided into two lakes. Viewed from the air, one pool looks like the sun and the other looks like the moon. Therefore, people call it Sun Moon Lake. The setting sun is like a magical elf sprinkling gold powder, turning Sun Moon Lake into a golden color. The reflections of fishing fires and bright stars sway and float with the water waves, adding a hazy touch to Sun Moon Lake. At sunset, we took advantage of the boat. A gust of evening breeze blew, and the waves danced this beautiful dance. Fireflies flew back and forth, like naughty fairies, holding lanterns and playing with us. Various buildings with flashing lights Dotted with rolling hills, the scene is stunningly beautiful.
In the next few days, we visited the rare treasures in the Forbidden City, the majestic 101 Building, and finally went to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to pay homage to the memorial statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
This trip not only allowed me to experience Taiwanese customs, but also increased my knowledge. It was truly an unforgettable trip to Taiwan!
