During the first week of last May I went on a holiday to Sichuan. First, I found some photos of interesting places which were not too far away from Chengdu. I decided to go and see the big Buddha in Leshan and Mount Emei. Next, I called a travel guide whose telepone number was in a newspaper. He told me that I could go on a two-day trip to Leshan and Ernei, which wasn’t too expensive. My friends, Chen Rong and Wei Bin, said they would come with me. We took a few bottles of water, some apples and oranges. The next day we got up at five o’clcok. First, we went to Leshan, where we climbed all the way up the mountain to se the Buddha. The Buddha was really big. Looking up at the large head and down at the large feet made us feel ourselves so small. Wei Bin took photos of us in front of the Buddha. The next morning, we climbed Mount Emei. There are many old templed and the forest int eh mountain was very beautiful. The monkeys were the liveliest on Mount Emei. They were not at all afraid of people. They came to you quickly and touched you. The monkeys looked sweet, but they were very naughty. A small monkey suddenly put its hand in Chen Rong’s pocket. Wei Bin took out some peanuts and it was fun to see the mokney eat from his hand. Finally, we were on the way back to Chengdu. We were all very tired and slept on the bus, but our travel was really unforgettable.

I would like to tell about my favourite restaurant which is called Trattoria Formaggi. This Italian cuisine restaurant is located in one of the central streets. It is a very cosy place with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. In front of the entrance there is a summer terrace where guests can enjoy a light business lunch or a cup of delicious Italian coffee.

The air-conditioned spacious dining room is elegantly decorated in warm tones. Quiet music is played in the background. The waiting staff will be happy to give all the information about new and specialty dishes.

Mainly there are Italian dishes on the menu. Guests can order fresh pizza, delicious pasta as well as excellent meat and fish specialties. A wide range of salads and snacks is also served here. After a lunch or dinner, you will be offered to try one of the wonderful desserts. The meal can be accompanied by alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails or other refreshments.
