Climbing the hill

·202 words·1 min

On Saturday my co-worker and I went hiking. Although it was quite foggy the trip was indeed very good.

I am in the very north of the Sichuan-basin, which means that the landscape is surrounded by hills and mountains. The local farmers grow their crops on these hills. The traditional agriculture here is about 1000 years old. And as a result over the many years the fields and the landscape formed a union.

The hills seem also to be very popular for young couples to visit. My guess is that they can have a little privacy there. So we also met some of our students this day.
