It was a school trip. All of us were hungry for it for long. I went to Changbai Mountain with my classmates at the beginning of 2023. The trip was really wonderful.
那是一次学校旅行。我们所有人都渴望它很久了。2023年初，我和同学们一起去了长白山。这次旅行真的很棒。
Jilin Province, in the northeast of China, is famous for Changbai Mountain. It is one of the “Top 10 Mountains in China”. The name of it means “a mountain which remains white all year round” in Chinese. The name Changbai Mountain was first used in the Liao Dynasty. The mountain was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas under the name Buxian Mountain. It was called Taibai Mountain in the Tang Dynasty.
吉林省位于中国东北部，以长白山而闻名。它是“中国十大名山”之一，中文名的意思是“一座终年洁白的山”。长白山这个名字最早使用于辽代。这座山在《山海经》中被记载为不咸山，唐代称太白山。
In the early morning, we climbed the mountain from the western side. Along the way, we saw several wild animals and we were totally shocked at the beauty of the mountain. The whole mountain area is under thick snow cover for two months every year. The higher points from 1,500 meters to 2,400 meters above the sea level are covered with snow for more than six months. Changbai Mountain is one of the most popular places for winter sports and amusements. We even tried many thrilling rides on the snow. It was so much fun. Besides, we enjoyed different kinds of foods.
清晨，我们从西面爬上了山。一路上，我们看到了几只野生动物，我们被这座山的美丽惊呆了。整个山区每年有两个月被厚厚的积雪覆盖。海拔1500米至2400米的高点被雪覆盖了六个多月。长白山是冬季运动和娱乐最受欢迎的地方之一。我们甚至在雪地上尝试了许多惊险刺激的骑行。太有趣了。此外，我们还喜欢各种各样的食物。
What excited us most is undoubtedly the Tianchi Lake. It is the deepest alpine lake in China. The Tianchi Lake is the place where the Songhua, Tumen and Yalu rivers begin and it has been regarded as a mysterious lake. Not all visitors are lucky enough to see the Tianchi Lake clearly the first time they go there, but we were.
最让我们兴奋的无疑是天池，它是中国最深的高山湖泊。天池是松花江、图们江、鸭绿江的发源地，是一个神秘的湖泊。并不是所有的游客第一次去天池时都能幸运地看清天池，但我们是幸运的。
One more thing we remembered was taking baths in the hot springs. All our tiredness and pressure were gone there. As visitors, we can’t stop being in love with everything we experienced in Changbai Mountain.
我们还记得一件事，那就是在温泉里洗澡。我们所有的疲惫和压力都消失了。作为游客，我们无法停止对我们在长白山所经历的一切的热爱。
