The grassland in Mongolia


After taking tour bus for three hours, I arrived in Ordos Grassland, one of the biggest grassland in Mongolia. I stepped on the grass which as soft as the sponge .I saw a piece of endless grassland which extends for at least few kilometers. There is no building towered on the land .Instead , some small Mongolian yurts located on the grassland dispersedly which won’t block the view of the grassland. I could see the horizon far away from me with a round and shiny sun in the sky. The sky was as blue as the ocean with few pieces of white clouds .Eagles soared in the sky high and freely. Breeze caressed my face which make me feel relaxed .I lay on the grass like lying on my bed at home.’ Welcome to the paradise!’ I shouted and smiled. Later, I started my first activity in grassland –riding horse . 

  The feeling of riding horse is great like riding a Ferrari; it feels even better for riding a graceful white horse which is larger and muscler than the one in Hong Kong on the grassland. I patted my horse so to stimulate him run faster. We tried to rushed to the endless side of this grassland , but we failed eventually .Although the wind kept hitting my face strongly during rushing , it made me feel even more excited .Later , I experienced a scene which would only happen in the commercial― my mum’s mobile phone rang suddenly .She listened the call and it was my friend in Hong Kong called me. Then, she rose up her phone and patted her horse by another hand. Her horse rushed from few hundred meters toward me .She shouted loudly ‘There is a call for you!’. I turned around and saw a beauty woman, wore with white frock, riding a white horse toward me on a piece of green grassland. At that moment, I imagined my mum’s action becoming slow motion and then a camera zooms toward her beauty mobile phone.’ What a great scene.’ I said to myself with a funny smile. About 20 seconds later, I got the mobile phone from my mum. ‘Hey Alex! Where are you? We decide to celebrate your birthday!’ my friends asked me hopefully. ‘Sorry, I am in Mongolia.’ I laughed. ‘You are in Mongolia? What are you doing?’ they asked and lots of question marks were stuck on their faces.’ Me? I am driving my new Ferrari!’ I said proudly and then commanded my horse to rush as fast as a rocket does. Time flies , the sun ran from the sky to the back of mountain like a rabbit hide from the predators quickly . The green grass ware black clothes which making me hard to see them . The temperature dropped with a large extend so making me shook like a small hamster does. The night of Mongolia had come .     

  The night of Mongolia is wonderful that I never experience before. Without street light, I couldn’t even see my hands, not to say the people far away from me. Strong wind hit my body and I shook like a small hamster does. The wind yelled to me like asking me go back home. Although all these things were horrible, when I looked up the sky, the shining star formed a river in the sky .It likes the Starry Night painted by Van Gogh and the picture you only can see in a fairy tale .I lay on the grass like lying on my bed at home .I watched the river flowing in the sky which is vital and surging.
  ‘Welcome to the paradise!’ I shouted and smiled again.
