【推荐3】Changes have been taking place in Philadelphia since 1984. One by one, ugly graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, over 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted.
The walls are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director. When people ask her what their program is about, she will answer them with one word: hope. Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some onetime graffiti (涂鸦) writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community. When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets,” “Love and Care,” and “Peace Walk. ”
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals. “The making of a mural enters people’s memory as a special, pleasant moment in neighborhood history” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

【推荐2】Love hiking but don’t want to have a heavy backpack for days on end? We’ve found four great walks around Australia.
● Three Capes Walk
Where: Tasmania
Length: Three days
The pièce de résistance of a hike in this remote southeast corner of Tasmania has to be a flight over, or cruise(航行) underneath, Cape Pillar–the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere. Here you’ll find 300-metre-high sea columns rising from the ocean. The equally impressive Cape Raoul – only accessible by hikers – will also give you a taste of the dramatic, raw beauty to come.
● Great Ocean Walk
Where: Victoria
Length: Three days
The 243-kilometre long Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage – listed area famed for its surf beaches and the Twelve Apostles – limestone(石灰岩) stacks rising out of the Southern Ocean. It takes more than a week to walk the full length, but this hike ensures you see the best bits over three days.
● Larapinta Trail &Red Center Walk
Where: Northern Territory
Length: Nine days
If you haven’t experienced the beating heart of Australia, this is the way to do it. Walk part of the Larapinta Trail, a 231-kilometre path that follows the rocky spine of the West MacDonnell Ranges from Alice Springs Telegraph Station to Mount Sonder.
● Light to Light Walk
Where: New South Wales
Length: Four days
The Sapphire Coast was named after a gem because of its deep blue sparkling waters. A hike here takes you deep into this dramatic landscape from striking 320-million-year old red rocky outcrops to coastal forests. Glide along its dynamic waters on a cruise to take in the birdlife, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin or, from May to November, a migrating whale.

Hannover
On the River Leine, Hannover is the country's greenest city with a number of recreation areas, parks and forests to explore. Also it's known as “ the city of museums”, so you have to check out world famous information centers such as the Sprengel Museum, and other museums to get the true Hannover experience.
Dresden
Located near the border with the Czech Republic, Dresden is a city that has suffered from the bombing that nearly destroyed it in 1945 with its unique character largely undamaged. Check that character out for yourself by visiting one of its many iconic（象征性的） structures, such as the Frauenkirche, Zwinger Palace and Brihl's Terrace, to learn about one of Europe's most fascinating cities.
