【推荐2】Four Special Hotels Around the World

This place in the Utah desert is a favorite of many celebrities. While every room here has character, none matches the elegance of the Girijaala Suite. The room has a large private lap pool, a sweeping balcony, and a sky lounge area where guests can bed down for the night under the clear Utah skies.

At this place on the border of Kruger National Park, guests can reserve a one-night experience in a four-level tree house to see animals that wander the park. With no ordinary structure, the house has a supply of solar power, a water collection system, and a bio-rock sanitation (卫生) system. Here, guests can sleep under the night sky taking in the magic of their surroundings.

Beverly Wilshire has been an attraction to many rich and powerful people since its opening in 1928. Guests who reserve the Veranda Suite located on the roof of the hotel are in for a serious surprise. Not only is the room accessed by a hidden entrance behind a staircase, but it also has a 2,100-square-foot balcony with dreamy views of the Hollywood Hills. In the middle of this private, urban place is a 10-foot-tall tent with crystal lamps and fur carpets. In a city full of stars, you can get a special feeling.

If you can’t decide whether you’d prefer to sleep indoors or outdoors, why not book a room that lets you do both in the same bed? Such is the feature of the Master Suite at this property in Tulum. The king-size bed can be rolled out onto the Caribbean Sea-facing balcony for a night under the stars or rolled in for a more private experience.

【推荐3】（CNN）－Rivers are the life-giving blood vessels of our planet. They irrigate our farms, are an important means of transport and a source of eco-friendly power. They can be a whole lot of fun for travelers, too.

From strikingly strange and unusual wildlife centers to whitewater rafting hotspots and the most scenic stretches for cruising, we’ve highlighted 3 rivers worth basing your next trip around. Rankings are made on five travel criteria.

Scenic beauty－the physical beauty of the river; waterfalls, color, drama of the landscape.

Nature and wildlife－diversity and popularity of flora and fauna.

Culture－depth, diversity and accessibility of local culture; tribal/medieval villages etc.

Adventure－thrill factor of the river’s topography and location.

Activity options－rafting, wildlife watching, hiking, biking etc.

We’ve debated among ourselves, researched expert views and polled our colleagues and fellow travelers around the world, to score each river for these qualities.

3. Rio Cahabon（Guatemala）

Scenic beauty: 4 | Nature and wildlife: 3 | Culture: 2 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5

Never heard of it? Few had, until a few years back, when a section of the Rio Cahabon’s densely forested pathway through central Guatemala was built as a key stop on the Central American backpacker trail.

Known as Semuc Champey, the series of spectacular steeped limestone pools bridging over the river are accessed via a hiking trail near the village of Lanquin.

Local hostels also offer candlelight tours of a cave system carved out by the water and year－round grade Ⅲand IV rafting.

2. Zambezi (Africa)

Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 4 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 4

Boasting superb wildlife watching, some of the best white-water rafting on the planet and the thundering beauty of Victoria Falls, the Zambezi is a showstopper.

In the Middle Zambezi, which borders Zambia and Zimbabwe, you can bungee jump off Africa’s largest waterfall, or tackle the grade IV rapids just below.

Most wildlife—from hippo pods to big cats and sly Nile crocodiles—is spotted on jeep safaris and kayaking trips around the Lower Zambezi, where the swampy delta funnels down through Mozambique into the Indian Ocean.

1. Amazon River (South America)

Scenic beauty: 5 | Nature and wildlife: 5 | Culture: 4 | Adventure: 5 | Activity options: 5

Topping our list by an aquatic mile, the mighty Amazon snakes through the jungles of nine South American nations, providing a shelter for more than 400 native Indian tribes and one in ten of the known species on earth.

For travelers, the possibilities are huge—from wildlife spotting safaris to kayaking trips and gnarly jungle treks.

Backpacker-friendly Bolivia is a popular place to explore the pampas by lancha (long-tail boat), stopping off along Amazon tributaries to swim with pink dolphins, fish for piranha and track elusive anaconda.

【推荐2】When public health officials started telling Americans that hand washing is one of the most powerful weapons against the spread of the coronavirus, Terence Lester wondered, “What about the homeless?” Lester had been homeless himself for a time as a teenager, and today he runs a nonprofit in Atlanta called Love Beyond Walls that helps raise money for and awareness of homeless people. He knows all too well that in the best of times they are lucky to find a public bathroom that will let them in to wash up occasionally, not to mention several times a day.

Lester’s experience of creating temporary shelters with his nonprofit led him to another idea: temporary handwashing stations, the kind you see at outdoor music festivals. He mentioned the idea to his friend Lecrae Moore, a Grammy-winning Christian rapper, who eagerly donated enough money to buy 15 of the $ 150 washing stations. They called their project Love Sinks In. “If leaders in this country are asking people to wash their hands, we also have to provide the tools to people living on the margins of society who are more likely to catch and spread the coronavirus,” Lester says.

After its success in Atlanta, the group sent sinks to Birmingham, Alabama; Oakland, California; Columbus, Ohio; and Austin, Texas, where a partner organization installed the sinks in parks and other public spaces, thanks to a $ 13,000 donation from Google. (In addition to the startup funds, it costs about $ 500 a month to keep each sink stocked with soap and clean water.) One Atlanta hand washer, Sam, left a note on a sink that said, “God bless you! The hand washing the others!” One Atlanta hand washer, Sam, made sure his gratitude didn't go unnoticed. He left a note on a sink that said，“Thank you all for not forgetting about us.”

On New Year’s Eve, people in Italy throw out all the old things. So there are chairs, beds, clothes and plates in the trees. In Spain, the New Year comes in more quietly. In the evening people come together to the streets. Each holds a bag of grapes. When twelve o'clock comes, people start eating the grapes. In Japan, people eat noodles on New Year’s Eve. This food is said to bring long life. Early the next morning, some families climb Mount Fuji(富士山). There they watch the first sunrise(日出) of the New Year.
