I was born and raised in Shanghai, one ofthe most famous metropolises in Asia. You know, the city is full of highbuilding and modern facilities. It’s kind of a bit stressful to spend too longtime in the city so I am always willing to go to the nearby countryside. Lastyear in April, after I finished all the final exams , I had a few days off. So my roommates and Idecided to go to someplace a little bit far from the city centre. Since we all had seen much themetropolitan（大都市的）side of the city, we wanted to try natural scenes this time. We wentto the only mountain in Shanghai, Sheshan in Songjiang District. It is 35kilometers from the city center, less populated with much more plants andbetter air. We stayed there for two days. It is an enormous forest park withseveral smaller parks all in a cluster（成团，together）. There aretwo peaks of the mountains, both less than one hundred meters above the sealevel（海拔）. It’s not high at all compared to the high-rises（高楼大厦, tall buildings） along the HuangpuRiver, some of which are at least five times the height of the little mountains. But oddly it was the highest entity（实体,object） in thatvast area. Also the biggest Catholic church in China was situated onthe mountain. We also went to Shanghai Astronomy Museum and finally reminisced（追忆）about mychildhood memories of becoming an astronomer. I don’t dream about being ascientist anymore but seeing those planets and nebula（星云） andactually used the telescope to observe was still captivating（引人入胜的,attractive）. I’d liketo pay there another visit because this memorable trip reminds me of along-lost childhood days and I feel free from the noisy and colorful urbanlife. I think it’s very important to go to the big nature at least once a weekto breathe some fresh air and release the pressure.
