when i was 18, i visited ningbo, a sea port on the northeast coast of zhejiang province for two months because my mother's family lived there.i stayed in the suburbs. before i returned to beijing, i travelled from ningbo to hangzhou, huangshan and nanjing by bus. this journey was the most interesting journey i have ever made.
the first stage of the journey was from ningbo to hangzhou along an extremely busy highway. we left ningbo early in the morning. we spent two hours on the bus before it stopped for the first time. while we were waiting at the stop, i bought a fried cake and a bottle of yogurt①. after we left the stop, the scenery became beautiful. i looked out of the window at rice fields and green mountains until the bus stopped again for the passengers to have lunch . after lunch i tried to go to sleep . but i woke up whenever the bus bumped or swayed . we arrived at hangzhou at two o'clock in the afternoon after we had travelled for eight hours. as soon as we stopped , i walked straight to west lake. although it was not my first visit, i still enjoyed its scenery very much .the second stage of the journey was from hangzhou to huangshan. this stage was about 300 kilometres and took six hours. huangshan is a beautiful area with high mountains and ever-green pine trees②. there is a common saying that you would not like to see any other mountains after you have visited huangshan mountain.after i had spent two days in huangshan mountain, i caught another bus to nanjing. this third stage again took about six hours and we travelled through some industrial areas. i stayed in nanjing for three days. while i was staying there, i visited dr. sun yat-sen's mausoleum③, xuanwu lake and the nanjing changjiang river bridge.
