How to stay healthy on holiday
Taking time to relax on holiday may be good for our health.
Plan before you go
Besides the stress of organizing your break in the first place, there’s the added anxiety of remembering to buy and pack everything you need, as well as getting where you need to go on time. To avoid this, as soon as you’ve booked your holiday, list the travel documents you’ll need. Check you have them and they’re valid (有效的). Then start packing several weeks in advance, giving yourself time to buy some daily necessities.
Try to forget the cares of everyday life. You can achieve this by ensuring you don’t check emails or social media, or feel obligated to use it to record your best holiday moments. Ideally, turn off notices, limit your screen time and try to focus on the present moment. That will enable you to relax and make special memories.

【推荐2】Shuikou village, in East China’s Zhejiang province, is home to 10,000 residents, and about 30 percent of them are engaged in the homestay business. The village has developed into one of the major rural tourism destinations in the Yangtze River Delta (三角洲) region over the years.
As cross-provincial tourism has resumed nationwide, locals in Shuikou are back in business and looking forward to a full recovery of the local tourism industry.
Homestay owner Zheng Yunfang has been busy answering customers’ calls, taking down their information, while checking the booking status of her hostelry (旅馆) since early August. “Our 18 guest rooms were fully booked over the past few weeks, and we’ve received bookings up to November,” says Zheng, who runs Ziming Mountain Villa (别墅) in Shuikou. Most of her guests have been to her place before, and they often bring in new guests during their visits. “By the look of things, business shouldn’t be a problem in the second half of the year.”
Just walking distance away from Zheng’s villa, another local homestay owner, Song Chaofeng, has begun receiving visitors as well. He is starting to harvest the reward of an earlier promotion of his homestay on the short-video app Douyin, also known as TikTok.
As an experiment, Song made a video featuring local food and landscapes earlier this year and uploaded it online after a bit of simple editing. “It was a total surprise that several thousand people watched it the next day.”
Tourist Qi Jia, from Shanghai, recently visited Song’s place with her family after flipping (翻转) through Song’s Douyin account. “My child loves playing table tennis here, and my parents love the distinctive rural-style breakfast. The fresh and nutritious food is picked right from the field. It feels right to come here.”
At the moment, Song says he will focus on maintaining the quality of his homestay operations and updating the latest developments.“Hopefully, they can all come here and experience what we have to offer.”
