    There are two important dates in the last month of the Chinese lunar calendar(农历) before the Chinese New Year.

    The first is the Laba Festival(腊八节)on the 8th day of the 12^th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It is a time--people hope for a good harvest(收成) in the next year. People always eat Laba porridge( 腊八粥)on this day.

    The other important date is the Kitchen God Worshipping Day( “灶王爷”祭拜日) on the 23rd or 24th day of the 12th month. It is said that the Kitchen God goes to heaven (天堂)that day to report (报告)about. each family's activities(活动). People give him delicious food. Then he will give them a good report and give their families good luck in the next year.

    This is a big nature park. In the park there is a forest and some mountains. On the mountains there are many trees and some beautiful flowers. There is a river and bridge on the mountains too. We can walk on this small bridge. There are two lakes in the park. One is big, and one is small. We can swim and fish there. What can you see in the lake? Wow, there are many fish.
