Travelling to Taiwan

Travelling is a good way to relax ourselves.For me,it’s also a chance to enrich myself.Among all the places I have been to,the most meaningful one is Taiwan.

I went there in 2018,when I was in Grade 1.It was strange that I could remember the trip clearly.We rent a car and drove around the island,which took us about half a month.During this trip,we saw the sea and mountains,we’ve been to cities and villages.We went there during summer holiday,which is the most beautiful season in Taiwan,and all of us enjoyed ourselves.

第二段邏輯順序有些亂，可以按照時間先后調整一下語序。

Our first site was Taipei Palace Museum.We saw thousands of works of art,porcelains,and other precious things.I was fond of their beauty and we really had a good time there.Even now,it’s an unforgettable experience.

第三段描寫的是人文景觀，第四段描寫的是自然景觀，可作為兩個并列的點去描寫臺灣之行最難忘的兩個地方。

However,the most satisfying place we’ve been to,was a village in Gao Xiong.I’ve enjoyed the environment there.We planned to spend three days there,and I felt really relaxed.The sun rise was wonderful,and it made me think of nature.

After that,we also had many amazing experiences,and all of them seemed meaningful.If I had chance,I’d rather choose to go back to Taiwan than any other choice.What a wonderful trip it is!
