The beautiful mountain valley...
The mountain valley is the place of nature's gift
Throughout the season it showers with beautiful nature
When you stand in between the mountain valley
You feel that the heaven blesses you dearly
You feel that the greenery hugs you tightly
You feel that the cool breeze touches you tenderly
You see that the water falls roll calmly
You see that the trees dance to the tune of wind smoothly
You hear that the birds sing natures choir happily
You watch that the animals walk freely
When the nature opens its heart widely
It gives everyone a chance to be with nature closely.
