Cheap Travel

You can pay a fortune to travel around the world. Or you can pay nothing at all. Here are some places you’ll never regret visiting. They won’t cost you a dime.

The British Museum, London (U.K.)
You need to go here to see the Egyptian mummies, the ancient Greek marbles and so many other treasures. It’s open every day, and unlike most the other attractions in England that cost an arm and a leg, it’s completely free.
National Mall, Washington D.C. (U.S.A.)
You can walk a pathway from the Lincoln Memorial to the severe Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to the Washington Monument with other sights in between. Do you know you can go up in the elevator to the top of the Washington Monument? Tickets are free, but pay a small fee to reserve them in advance to avoid being disappointed.
Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris (France)
This great treasure of the world simply can’t be missed. The great stained-glass rose window alone is worth the visit. The Sunday Mass with the Gregorian chant was like stepping back in time. Admission is free every day, but you’re welcome to leave a donation. There are also free tours a few times each week. You’ll pay extra for tours of the bell tower or the crypt.
Tips: The Notre-Dame Cathedral was greatly damaged by a massive fire in April 2019. Please visit notredamedeparis.fr/en/ for more information regarding future visits to the cathedral.

【推荐2】With the trans-Tasman travel now in place, many of us are dreaming of afternoons watching sunsets fall over New Zealand’s dramatic mountains and lakes. After a long time of lockdown, it’s an appealing prospect. One great way to see the sights without breaking the bank is to rent a camper(野营车).

“It’s amazing to see the smaller towns and learn about what happens on an orchard(果园)or a farm while staying in my camper, ” says Karen Nisbet, a 38-year-old New Zealander who has spent more than four years on the road.

If you’ve never taken a camper trip before, you might be wondering what it’s like. In New Zealand, you can camp at many places if you have the right vehicle. “To be able to camp better, your vehicle needs to be certified as self-contained, ” says Andy Ford, who runs a business renting campers in Auckland and Christchurch. “That basically means you have a portable toilet, and you’ve got water and food supply on board. ”

“There is something to check before booking, because if you camp outside a campground without the proper certification, you can be fined. Even with a self-contained vehicle, it doesn’t mean you can camp anywhere, ” Mr Ford adds. Many cities and popular tourist destinations like Queenstown often have restrictions, as do areas marked for conservation.

The good news is that it’s easy to find a place to stay. NZ’s Department of Conservation has a website you can use to search for camping sites around the country, or you could use an app.

If you’re camping, it’s important to make sure you deal with your waste properly. Many camp-grounds will have a dump(垃圾场)nearby for convenience, but you may need to plan ahead.

1. What can we know about Karen Nisbet from the text?
A.She owns a new camper.B.She is from a small town.
C.She always stays in a farm.D.She likes taking a camper trip.
2. What is Andy Ford’s advice on going camping?
A.To run a business renting campers.B.To have a camper with full facilitie
C.To buy a portable toilet and water.D.To spend enough time on the road.
3. Where can people camp in New Zealand?
A.In a mountain area.B.In Queenstown.
C.In a conservation area.D.In the zoo of Auckland.
4. What does the text mainly talk about?
A.New Zealanders’ habits of going camping.
B.The popularity of camping in New Zealand.
C.Different benefits of travelling in New Zealand.
D.The points for attention to camping in New Zealand.
