C
①Recently, the Ailao Mountains have become quite a hit. The place is now on everyone’s lips. Many people are curious about its beauty and mystery and want to see it themselves. However, local officials warn the public to think twice about visiting and not to explore the undeveloped areas.

②The Ailao Mountains don’t just cover one mountain. Instead, there is a long series of mountains covering hundreds of kilometers. The locals call it Forest of Death, and it can be hard to find your way while you are in the mountains. So, sometimes, it feels like you are in a giant maze(迷宫)! There are many plants and animals in this wild, including bears and snakes, which can make it even scarier.
③Even though some parts of the Ailao Mountains are safe for visitors, many areas are still off-limits. Heavy rain and thick fog can make the mountains very dangerous. Once you get lost among the trees, the chances are that you may feel dizzy(头晕) and tired after a long walk and end up in big trouble. Even local villagers play it safe and don’t choose deep parts of the mountains to visit.
④In 2021, four people went to explore the Ailao Mountains. They were tired and faced sudden storms, which made it hard to keep warm. Sadly, they lost their lives at last. The incident(事件) reminds us that nature is something of beauty and danger all at once.
⑤So, if you decide to visit the Ailao Mountains, you mustn’t forget to stay clear of the wild areas. Some beautiful spots are open to tourists. These places are easy to reach and safe for everyone. So, stay smart and stick to safe paths while enjoying the wonders of the Ailao Mountains!
