Original:

About three months ago, I went to Sichuan province with my friend. It was my most memory of this year. We went to the Jiuzhaigou National Park for three days. It is a very miracle place. The water is shining and shows colorful. The sightseeing is very beautiful. The mountain covered with snow. But the food in Jiuzhaigou is boring. But before we went to Jizhaigou we stayed in Chengdu for two days. Chengdu is the famous the land of abundance. There’s a lot of delicious dishes: the hotpot, the spicy food. And we also to see the pandas in Chengdu. It was really a good travel for me this year.

About three months ago, I went to Sichuan province with my friend, and that was my best memory this year so far. We went to the Jiuzhaigou National Park for three days and it is a very wonderful place.The mountains are covered with snow, the water is shiny and colorful and the sights are very beautiful. The only problem was that the food in Jiuzhaigou is boring.

Before we went to Jizhaigou we stayed in Chengdu for two days. Chengdu is known as the land of abundance, so there are a lot of delicious dishes, such as hotpot and spicy food. We also went to see the pandas when we were there. It was the best trip I’ve taken this year.
