Climbing Up Miaofeng Mountain
－－－－－Chen
Yi
Comrades,
my stout dunky already rode me
up
to the Miaofeng Mountain,
Looking
around,
and
I come to know
even
Fragrant Mountain and Jade Green Mountain cannot
compare with this magnificant giant creature;
Looking
ahead,
I
wonder if myself standing in front of the beautiful
Tanzhe Temple;
Looking
back,
a
breath-taking picture jumping into my eyes
with
the Great Wall stretching far into distance;
Looking
down,
roaring
Yongding river is running towards Bohai Sea in
east China.......
