As a Mandarin Chinese language teacher with 20 years of experience, I am thrilled to introduce the topic of outdoor activities and nature in Mandarin Chinese. In this lesson, you will learn how to express yourself fluently when talking about outdoor activities and nature in Chinese. We will start by presenting some common vocabulary that you can use to describe what you like to do outdoors. We will also teach you some useful expressions to communicate with others about outdoor activities and nature. Moreover, we will discuss some essential grammar points that will help you create more complex sentences.
Outdoor Activities
When it comes to outdoor activities, there are many things you can do. Here are some of the most common:
- 爬山 (pá shān) - mountain climbing
- 露营 (lù yíng) - camping
- 徒步旅行 (tú bù lǜ xíng) - hiking
- 骑自行车 (qí zì xíng chē) - biking
- 游泳 (yóu yǒng) - swimming
- 跑步 (pǎo bù) - running
You can use these verbs to describe what you like to do. For example:
| Mandarin Chinese | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| 爬山 | pá shān | mountain climbing |
| 露营 | lù yíng | camping |
| 徒步旅行 | tú bù lǜ xíng | hiking |
| 骑自行车 | qí zì xíng chē | biking |
| 游泳 | yóu yǒng | swimming |
| 跑步 | pǎo bù | running |
Expressions to communicate about outdoor activities
Here are some useful expressions to help you communicate about outdoor activities:
- 我喜欢 (wǒ xǐ huān) - I like
- 我不喜欢 (wǒ bù xǐ huān) - I don't like
- 我的爱好是 (wǒ de ài hào shì) - my hobby is
- 我的最爱是 (wǒ de zuì ài shì) - my favorite is

- 我去过 (wǒ qù guò) - I have been to
- 我还没有去过 (wǒ hái méi yǒu qù guò) - I haven't been there yet
Use these expressions to create sentences like:
- 我喜欢骑自行车，因为我觉得很健康 (wǒ xǐ huān qí zì xíng chē, yīn wèi wǒ jué de hěn jiàn kāng) - I like biking because I think it's healthy.

- 我想去爬山，因为我想挑战自己 (wǒ xiǎng qù pá shān, yīn wèi wǒ xiǎng tiǎo zhàn zì jǐ) - I want to go mountain climbing because I want to challenge myself.
Talking about Nature
Nature is beautiful and diverse, so here are some words you can use to describe what you see:

You can use these words to describe nature in sentences like:

Grammar Points
Here are some grammar points and useful sentence structures to help you create more complex sentences:
