October 24th?
This morning, we had a school trip to the Dashan Collection House, a building of two floors. We took the school bus and arrived at 9:00 a.m.
When we entered the collection house, we found that there were many old photos of the town on the walls. Those photos told us something about the history of the town.
And then in the Art Room, we saw many pictures of the countryside. The colors of the flowers and the trees are rich and bright. They are so beautiful, so I lost myself in the beauty of nature.
Then we went upstairs. On the left, it was a clock collection. There were over one hundred different clocks. The oldest clock was already more than two hundred years old. To my surprise, the clocks all worked well and they could tell the right time. How amazing! On the right there was also a stone collection. The stones were from all over the country. They were in different sizes, colors and shapes. I really liked one stone that looked like a little monkey.
The collections there were wonderful. So they stayed there until 11:00 in the morning. I had a great time and really liked the school trip.?
