My friend and I went on an exciting trip from Shanghai to Mount Wu gong in Jiangxi Province. The place     1     (know) for its extraordinary beauty, ancient culture, and a special mountain peak—the Golden Peak,     2     stands an old temple.

Mount Wugong is really high—2,000 meters above the sea, making it tough     3     (climb) up. Luckily, there are small shops along the way, so we could get snacks and drinks.

We made it to the top at sunset. It was     4     (incredible) amazing—golden clouds flowing down the mountain,     5     (explain) why it’s called the Golden Peak.We felt like we were thinking the same thoughts as people from ancient China. At night, we     6     (lie) under the stars, feeling the history of the place.

The next morning, I woke up just in time for the most     7     (wonder) sunrise ever —something that will stick in my memory forever. Afterwards, we explored     8     old temple on top of the mountain, which showed us how Chinese people connected nature with spiritual things.

Mount Wugong offered us not only an unforgettable adventure, but also a real insight     9     the depths of Chinese culture, history and the enduring bond between humanity     10     the natural world.

10 . Travel Highlights in Slovenia

Classy blue waters surround a tiny island and the romance factor goes up when you arrive there on a traditional wooden boat. Located on a hill overlooking the lake is Bled Castle. When not swimming in the lake nicely warmed by hot springs, visitors can go paddle—boarding or just wander along the four—mile path around the lake, enjoying those incomparable views.

At the southern end of Triglav National Park, the Tolmin Gorges cut through dramatic scenery. Forested stone walls loom over the Tolminka River, with deep green waters rushing below along the rocks. There’s a meeting spot between the Tolmin and the Zadlascica which you can access via rocky steps and picture— like wooden bridges.

A lake of green water is surrounded by wet lands. Bubbling beneath are the springs of the source of the Sava River. Raised wooden walkways lead you through this peaceful landscape past more than 1,000 species of wildlife, including sand lizards and the rare scarlet grosbeak bird. The average temperature doesn’t drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit and the waters don’t freeze even during winter.

Slovenia’s best-known ski resort has all the prettiness you would expect of a mountain village. And when the snow melts, that’s the time to explore its mountain paths on foot or by bike. In a country that has produced Tour de France winners, it’s not surprising that cycling is big business here. At nearby Planica, you can fly through the air on the world’s steepest zipline descent (溜索).
