Well, one place that I have had the pleasure to visit is called Pentland Hills, nestled in Midlothian in Scotland. It is located not far from the city center of Edinburgh, just about an hour away. The proximity to the city center offered us convenient and accessible access to get there from our work accommodation. It was a one-day trip, a one-day excursion. I was with my best friends and classmates, a total of four of us. We are all international students and we are all Chinese. Our primary purpose for going to Pentland Hills was to engage with the natural beauty and to escape from the pressure of our dissertations as we were about to graduate. The reason why I think the place is interesting is, first, the geographical location I mentioned before. It is rather close to the city center but not too far away, allowing us to be free from the distractions and noise of the city. It was quite a peaceful retreat into the tranquility and simplicity of countryside life. Second, the natural beauty provided us with opportunities to admire the lush green mountains, crystal clear lakes. We also encountered adorable sheep and horses, and we took pictures, you know, good things. And third, the pressure of the dissertation was really hard, and we were able to create lasting memories there. As in August, we would go back to China to find a job and end our student career life.
