Last year, my friend and I went to visit the Yellow Mountain. We carried two backpacks, that turned out to be pretty heavier for the hike. I was not an experiencing hiker and those endless steps make me want to return to the safe and comfortable ground. But my friend encouraged me great. "Look, the top is coming closer and closer. We are almost there." I pulled me together and kept going. After three-hour exhausting hike, and with wonderful sceneries on the way, we got to the top finally. For our pleasure, we also found a hotel that looked very much inviting.
