Something Fun

I'm a little tired now so I want to talk about something easy.

I went to hike around the West Lake last Saturday, which was a famous beautiful lake in China.

Many hills and tea plantations surrounded the lake, but the one that caught my attention was a small village known for its osmanthus trees.

You can see the scenery along the trail from this video:https://youtu.be/_X_c1pWahxc

If you are in eastern China right now, I highly recommend this hiking trail to you. The fragrance under osmanthus trees in tea plantations is stunning.


有点累,想说点轻松的。

上周六我去西湖边徒步了,西湖是中国著名的美丽湖泊。

湖的周围有许多小山和茶园,但引我注目的是一个以桂花树闻名的小村庄。

你可以从这个视频中看到沿途的风景:https://youtu.be/_X_c1pWahxc

如果你现在在中国东部,我强烈推荐这条徒步路线给你。茶园桂花树下的芬芳令人叹为观止。

I went to hike around the West Lake last Saturday, which wais a famous beautiful lake in China.

The lake is still there! So even if you went to see it in the past, when you describe it, you should say that it "is", not it "was".

ManyThe lake is surrounded by lots of hills and tea plantations surrounded the lake, but the one that caught my attention the most was a small village known for its osmanthus trees.

You can use "many" instead of "lots of", but it sounds a bit rigid.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I really really like osmanthus. One of my dreams is to buy a house with a big yard, and then plant an osmanthus tree in it. hahaha

Point #1: The 2nd "I" can be deleted. (如果你删除第二个“I”,这个句子会更简洁)
Point #2: If you are *speaking* then "talk about" is fine; if you are *writing* then "write about" is better.

I went to hiked around the West Lake (西湖) last Saturday, which wais a famous beautiful lake in Zhejiang Province in China.

NOTE: Some people might know *where* West Lake is, so I have indicated the province.

Many hills and tea plantations surrounded theis lake, but the one that caught my attention was a small village known for its osmanthus trees.

ALSO POSSIBLE: The fragrance underof the osmanthus trees in many tea plantations is stunning.

I'd never heard of an osmanthus tree before, haha. It looks very pretty, though!

Thank you so much!

If you came to eastern or central China in early October, you definitely would smell it somewhere, because it's almost everywhere.
And if you ate many Chinese desserts, you might eat it, because it's a traditional ingredient for desserts in China.

Welcome to come to Shanghai and eat this type of desserts some day!

Good job! The West Lake seems like a beautiful place to hike around. There are plenty of places to hike where I live, but no tea plantations nor osmanthus trees, so I'm jealous of the fragrance!

Thank you so much!

These hiking trails around West Lake are some of my favorite ones to recommend to foreign friends, especially those who love tea. They are beautiful, easy to approach and many tea plantations gathered together.
