In every one's life there is one place or one stage which totally turns your life and you can never ever forget. That place or that stage gives you some unforgettable moments which you remember like a history or tell other people like a story. In my life that turning point started from Zhoushan……

It was a bright warm morning of September, 15 in 2015, and the clock was striking eight when I was standing on the first floor of my dormitory at Zhejiang University, Zijingang Campus, Hangzhou. Our teacher told us that he will arrive at 8:00 a.m. and will pick us up. We were a total of 3 students among whom there was one girl and 2 boys. We were the first international students moving from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou campus to Zhejiang University Zhoushan Campus. I was very excited to see the new place as I have heard before that Zhoushan is an island and for me, "I am crazy for islands", the green mountains, the blue skies, and the pure environment. Well, when I entered Zhoushan it was extremely beautiful beyond my imagination. And my thinking was same like famous author Kevin Brockmeier narrated in his book A brief history of the dead that "When the blind man arrived in the city, he claimed that he had travelled across a desert of living sand" and for me the Hangzhou city was also like living sand.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings' end. Going on the same path I also started my new life in Zhejiang University Zhoushan campus, as it was our starting days in university so we need a couple of days to start our lab work and this was the time when I decided to explore Zhoushan. I with my friends started our visit to the most famous Mount Putuo（普陀山）, Nan Sha（南沙） beach and Da qing shan (大青山). Wow, these places are really like a paradise, so pure. After being in China for 1 year, for the first time in China I have seen such a pure environment and such nice weather. Here are some of our pictures in different scenic areas.
