Harbin Ice Festival 2023
Ever think of what Elsa’s ice palace might look like in real life? Ice stairs, ice walls, and ice towers? When winter approaches, Harbin turns into a kingdom of ice and snow.
The annual Harbin Ice and Snow Festival opens in late December and lasts for around 3 months, till late February.
What’s New for Harbin Ice Festival
Every year, there’s a unique theme for the Ice Festival. A huge Snowflake Ferris Wheel (摩天轮) has already been built inside the park. Visitors will be able to ride on the Ferris Wheel and overlook the ice castles in early 2023. For this upcoming festival, the highlight may be when the giant Snowflake is colorfully lit up at night, shining high in the sky.

Melbourne is a hotspot travel destination, and it’s easy to see its beautiful beaches and busy city life.
Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there. As an English-speaking country, you won’t be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!
Thailand
Thailand is great for solo travelers — perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets, which promote equality among the sexes.
Why it’s a great choice: Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel hotspot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Well known for being very cheap, especially in the north. A good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the party- central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical (热带的) jungle.
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen Moments”, such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.
Why it’s a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you’re not well traveled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendid visual culture has made Bali number one tourist attraction.
Why it’s so great: you won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali. Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way.

【推荐2】Some Internet Buzzwords of 2022
The chosen laborers
Derived from the Chinese term da gong ren which means “laborers” or “working people”, “the chosen laborers” refer to those who stay healthy during the pandemic, allowing them to go to work every day.
Begone
In a viral video, a woman in a parking argument was caught on camera, stomping (跺) her feet, waving her arms and repeatedly telling the other person to “begone”. The odd repetition of the Chinese term tui reminded many people of a traditional ceremony to ward off evil spirits, and the woman’s words quickly became an incantation (咒语) to protect users from bad luck or misfortune.
I have nothing to say
Literally meaning “thank you so much”, the term is now ironically used by Chinese social media users to express “being speechless”. They originally created “栓Q” to joke about the English accent of Liu Tao, a farmer who claims to be a self-taught English enthusiast on Douyin. Liu has accumulated over 2.6 million followers by sharing videos about his hometown in Guilin, in Chinese and English.
Online mouth double
Many netizens find it hard to express themselves clearly. So when they find someone who has spoken out on an issue they care about in a more persuasive way online—such as on a talk show, in a media interview, or in an online comment—they call them their hu lian wang zui ti, or “online mouth double”, as a way to express agreement and appreciation.
Cyber pickle
Just like Zha cai, or pickled vegetables, a side dish on Chinese dinner tables, cyber pickle is the perfect televised comfort food to accompany any meal. Ranging from scene plays like Friends to various short videos, cyber pickle is the embodiment (体现，化身) of empty calories.
1. What can the Chinese term tui make people think of?| A．An old ceremony to prevent evil spirits. |
| B．A way to escape from severe epidemic. |
| C．A condition to keep healthy during the pandemic. |
| D．A religious ceremony that can prevent people from bad luck. |
| A．express thanks | B．embody empty calories |
| C．convey “being speechless” | D．joke about the English accent of Liu Tao |
