返 回
　　On July 7, my parents and I flew to Chengdou, Sichuan Province to see the sights. Early the next morning, we climbed Mount Emei, whose spectacular scenery took our breath away. We were also impressed with so many old temples and lovely wild monkeys there. The third day was more thrilling. We took a coach to Leshan, which is famous for the Giant Stone Buddha. The Buddha is so massive that looking up at the large head and down at the large feet made me feel so small. At dusk, we made our way back to our hotel. The two-day tour of Sichuan was exhausting but was a real treat. If the opportunity arises, I am bound to pay a visit to Sichuan again.
　 I’m looking forward to touring Sichuan with you next time.
