The position of his home

The position of his school

In Dali, a place called




Flowers and flowers(万花)，lives a



boy named Echo. He is six. He




recently moved into a new home.





His neighbor is an elder




sister of 10, and her name is




Gege (格格), because she comes




from the Northeast China, but




she's not a Manchus(满族).




Let's follow Echo's




footsteps and see how he spends




the next day.

With the rising of the sun.







Echo is ready to go to school.







It is his first day to go to school from


his new home.

He gets up a bit late,at:7:00






He is very happy to go to school.







It’s in April. He is very fond of the


cherry blossoms around his new home.

This is his favorite food – Ersi (饵丝). It


is made mainly of rice (making a bunch


of rice products and cutting them into


strips).







He can eat two bowls.






There is no exception today.

He takes the bus to go to school.









Here’s the bus stop.









He was in a hurry, because he’s




going to be late.

When he s about to enter school,




the bell starts ranging.




But he is very lucky, because it is



the elder sister Gege (格格) who’s on



duty today.

In order to thank Gege sister, Echo




decided to invite her to visit




various attractions in Dali after




school.










First they come to the ErHai lake,




and they play on the ErHai lake.

And then they go to the SanTa (三




塔).





They look at the reflection in the



lake.





When Echo was a child, Echo's




parents often took him here.

In the end they go to the Xingsheng (兴盛)


bridge.







The two of them stood on the bridge and


felt the wind blows. Because Dali is in the


mouth of the wind, the style is big.







It is an interesting day.
