It’s well known that the Yellow River is the second longest river in China. Though my hometown is close to her, yet I had no chance to enjoy myself at her beautiful scenery. What a pity!To my great joy we were told that we would go there and have a good look at the lovely river on Sunday. It took us quite a few hours’ ride to reach the bank of the river,where we saw the Chunü Spring.It is one of the most famous hot springs there . The water of the spring is so clear that we couldn’t help diving into it. Our head teacher, together with us, swam happily. Floating on the water, I looked around . We were surrounded by the great mountains. Then we got on some small boats. We had been longing to float on the Mother River. Seeing her powerful current and attractive beauty, I felt proud of being one of her sons. It was noon before we knew it. We went ashore and then danced and sang happily on the grassland. We helped ourselves to the tasty fish, crabs and other food, which we cooked ourselves. It was time for us to go home. We had to say good-bye to the Mother River. We all felt reluctant when we left her.
