On New Year's Day, my family decided to climb Mount Song. We hoped it could bring good luck to us for the whole year. It was cloudy in the morning. My
Grandparents, my parents and I had some dumplings for breakfast and then drove to Mount Song. At nine，we arrived at the foot of Mount Song and began to climb the mountain. It was cold, but we were all excited at first. We chose a road that visitors seldom took because we thought it would be fun. After two hours we found that the road conditions(路况) were getting worse. At half past twelve, we got to the top of the mountain. But it began to snow! All of us were cold and hungry. Soon we got to a small restaurant. It only sold instant noodles(方便面). One bowl of noodles was ten yuan and we had to pay for the hot water! Each of us had a bowl of noodles and gained some strength. There' were no cable cars, so we had to walk down the mountain. Four hours later, we finally got to the foot of the mountain. What an unusual day!
