A post in English Post

In the summer of 2018, I joined a tourist group going to Inner Mongolia.

I visited Hulun Buir, which is a vast grassland.

That was the first time I washad been on a grassland.

SoAnd I was shocked to see the grassland for the first time.

When I stood on the grasslandit and looked around, all I could see was the distant horizon, and grass, sheep, cows and horses.

There were not any trees, villages, or even people.

The sky was extremely blue and the clouds were sovery white and low.

Your version isn’t wrong. It just sounds more natural to me this way.

Your version isn’t wrong, but we usually put “were not” into it’s contraction form “weren’t,” unless you’re trying to be emphatic.

When I was standing there and looking around, I couldn't help but shouting loudly into the distance.
