Where The Mountain Meets The Moon


Hello Everyone!  It's Charlie checking in with you after making it safely to my first stop far, far, away from Pittsburgh!  I wonder if you can guess where I am.

So, fourth grade, I heard you are reading Where The Mountain Meets The Moon in school and that in art class you started to talk about it.  I LOVE that book because it is filled with adventure!  The author uses great imagery in her writing and I can picture everything!

Anyways, here is a fun thing for you to do in art class.   Imagine you are a dragon.  What kind of dragon would you be?  What color would you be?  Where do dragons live?  Where would you live if you were a dragon?  What would be the story of how you came to be?  As you start to write these things down also begin to draw what you would look like as a dragon.

The picture and video below show my first stop.  I think this is where dragons live!  You can try to find it on my travel map.  I placed a pin there!



Mt. Huashan

Situated in Huayin City, Mt. Huashan is 120 kilometers (about 75 miles) from Xian. It is famous for steep and narrow paths, precipitous crags and a high mountain range. Its five peaks are the representative attractions and each has its distinctive charms: East Peak is the best place to enjoy the sunrise; South Peak has the highest altitude; West Peak is the most elegant; North Peak is famous as the Cloud Terrace Peak and Middle Peak is also called Jade Lady Peak.
