[quote=JIMMYB,246368]Do you ever read Tang poems or hear about Du Fu, Li Bai or Meng Haoran? They were famous poets during the Tang Dynasty and wrote many poems. Some of their poems aim at depicting and praising natural landscapes. Can you imagine what these landscapes look like in their poems? If not, it does not matter. Plese follow me to appreciate them. No.1 Xiling Snow Capped Mountain. A Quatrain Du Fu (Tang) A pair of golden orioles twitter in the greenish willow, A line of white herons flutter on their blue-bound way. The window frames the western mountain's thousand-year snow, By the door moor ships from Eastern Wu ten thousand li away. The western mountain in the quatrain refers to Xiling Snow Capped Mountain. It is located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. In winter, it is the skiing resort. In summer you can see landscalpes in four seasons. It covers a vast of verdant primeval forests and has many rare animals.[/quote]
