The First Hike of Year of the Snake

Yesterday we had our first hike of the year of the snake.

The trail was on a mountain between several small villages. Having just recovered from the flu, I had decided beforehand not to go too fast, so I was way behind my friends when we went up the hill.

After a while, two local hikers caught up with me and told me some beautiful views were opposite my original direction. I stopped to look up on my phone immediately, then decided to change my destination.

They were definitely right. There was a platform with a great view at the top of the hill on this side. I could see the villages and mountains in the distance, as well as a confluence of three rivers.

A dangerous thing happened when I went down the hill. Because the temperature was near zero, my iPhone had a bad battery loss and was running out of battery.

Luckily, I found a shared power bank at a roadside paragliding base and finally met with my friends on time.


昨天我们进行了蛇年的第一徒。

这条路线在几个小村庄之间的一座山上。刚刚从流感中恢复过来的我,事先就决定不要走太快,所以上山时,我远远落后于我的朋友们了。

过了一会儿,两个当地的徒友追上了我,告诉我说与我原计划的方向相反的一边,有不少美丽的景致。我立刻停下来在手机上查了查,然后决定改变目的地。

他们绝对是对的。在这一边的山顶上有一个平台,视野很好。可以看到远处的村庄和山脉,以及三条河流的交汇处。

下山时发生了一件危险的事。由于气温接近零度,我的iPhone电池严重损耗,快要没电了。

幸运的是,我在路边的滑翔伞基地找到了一个共享充电宝,最后终于准时和朋友们碰面了。

Glad you are hiking a lot. I live near some semi-rural hills near Mt. Fuji. I should hike more.

Because the temperature was near zero, mMy iPhone had a bad battery loss and was running out of battery because the temperature was near zero.

Unlike Chinese where you begin a sentence with 'because', it is quite opposite in English. It must be in the middle of a sentence but if it's in a very informal situation, you can start with that.

Luckily, I found a shared power bank at a roadside paragliding base and finally met with my friends on time.

The view was great, loved it ❤️. I didn't notice the confluence of the three rivers, I will go and rewatch it to check it out.

So, temperature can affect iPhone battery, interesting 🤔.

Thanks again!

I hadn't known that before until I doubted my iPhone was broken and other people told me😓

I'm trying to edit a video with dubbing and I'll point the confluence in it.

"our first hike of the year of the snake" isn't exactly incorrect, just sounds a little repetitive. However, not sure how to correct it without losing the meaning.

Can omit "on this side" since you already stated you would go in the opposite direction.
