【推荐1】Everything to Know About Beijing
Beijing has much to offer: everything from culture, art and nature to night life, food and shopping.
When to Go
Beijing usually sees cold winters and hot summers. Spring and autumn, however, are quite comfortable and dry. April through May and September through October are considered the best months to visit, but try to avoid the first week of October, as it marks the national holiday celebrating the founding of the People’s Republic of China, causing famous sites to be overly crowded.
Souvenir (纪念品) to Take Home
To shop for something different, head over to Panjiayuan Flea Market, where shops sell kinds of second-hand paintings, statues, and souvenirs — some mass-produced (大批量生产的) and some perhaps of real value. The best time for a visit is on weekends during early morning.
Travel Tips
Avoid Beijing’s traffic jams and save your valuable time by taking the subway. The Beijing subway is cheap and easy to use even for foreigners, although rush hour can get much crowded. China is also advanced in bike sharing. As biking is one of the best and fastest ways of getting around in Beijing, most hotels do offer bikes to their guests.
Worthy(值得...的)View
For a special view of the Forbidden City, head over to Jingshan Park across the street from the north entrance (入口) to the Palace Museum. Climb to the top of the hill and you’ll find yourself on the highest point in central Beijing with an impressive view of the Forbidden City.

【推荐2】For most of my adult life, I’ve felt slightly ashamed —not of something I’ve done, but of something I haven’t. Although I’m an independent person who has been to numerous countries, I’ve never gone on an overseas holiday alone. I’ve traveled with my parents, partners, kids and other families. I’ve travelled with my pet and joined tours where I knew no one but came out with lifelong friends.
But for a while, my failure to travel alone felt like a mistake. Solo travel is celebrated. I’ve seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by crossing countries alone. Traveling solo makes you capable, they say. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life!
And yet, I’ve never had an urge to do it. For one thing, I need a lot of people contact. A single day without meaningful conversation can leave me feeling depressed. Proper, engaging conversation is difficult when traveling alone. Even if you’re good at chatting with strangers, it isn’t always possible. I don’t want to worry about being alone on my travels. I want support and company during my adventures. I used to see this desire to be with others as some sort of flaw, but now I see it as a valid choice.
Traveling solo builds resilience. But so does life. I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I don’t need to travel alone to build resilience. I have resilience in spades, I’m sure travelling overseas would push me further out of comfort zone. But you know what else pushed me out of my comfort zone? Being single in a society that values marriage. Earning a living in a difficult industry. Dating men I’ve met on an app. My life is effortful enough. I don’t need my travels to be effortful too.
Travel is incredibly valuable, no matter what your stage of life. It teaches you how diverse the world is and how to appreciate your culture in relation to another. It stretches your mind and gives you a new viewpoint.
And you don’t need a solo journey to become an independent woman. I assure you that life will get you there in the end.

【推荐1】There are so many amazing cultures around the world, each having their own unique set of traditions. In this post, we will explore four interesting cultural traditions around the world.
Giving cinnamon (肉桂) in Denmark
In the western part of Denmark, if a person is not yet married by the time they reach their 25th birthday, they will be restrained by their friends and have cinnamon thrown on them in the New Year’s Eve. The unique tradition can be translated to “giving cinnamon”.
The Festival of Light in Thailand
The Festival of Light, also called “Loy Krathong”, is on the evening of the full moon on the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar. The maker of the krathong attaches a candle to the handcrafted flower arrangement, which will be floating down riverways to pray for financial luck and happiness in the coming year.
Wife-carrying Competition in Finland
More of a competitive sport than it is a tradition, a Wife-carrying Competition in Finland. Athletes participate in a race where a male competitor carries a female competitor through an obstacle course. The winners are the fastest team, which will be awarded an interesting bonus — the wife’s weight in beer.
Baking money into food in Bolivia
