On May 1st, I went to the Chinese flowering crabapple exhibition in the Mochou Lake Park with Sky, King, Matt, Dennis, Chester, Jim, Claude, Rita, Ethel and two people from other classes. There were no tickets for the show, and we only need to buy the tickets of the park, but it cost 20 yuan. I do not know if there is some beauty in the park.
We met near the gate, and we were like a tourist group which went spring outing there. After about ten minutes long walking, we arrived at the entrance of the exhibition. It says “park of precious Malus spectabilis”. We took some photos there, and then went into it. To our surprise, we did not see any beautiful flowers there. Many old people sat there to test or read books. I thought there must be another entrance of the show, so we kept walking. However, we did not find anything like those I imagined. When we look around, we finally found where the show was. There are some plants beside the paths, and they were the Chinese flowering crabapples. It shocked me, I thought there should be many beautiful flowers in the show, but most of the plants only had leaves. Only a few plants there had flowers, but they were all withered. I did not know why, because it was not the suitable season to grow flowers or some one had destroyed them? I felt displeased looking at the labels beside the flora. They were introducing the plants, but I was no more interesting to read the details about how great they were.
Our little trip ended in this way, and it was really surprising. I felt like that I had been tricked, but I enjoyed the time with my friends because we had lots of fun together there.
