If you’re traveling in Vancouver (温哥华), here are some places that you can consider visiting.
Located east of Vancouver in the southern tip of Harrison Lake in Fraser Valley is the small village of Harrison Hot Springs. It is a popular holiday center that has been attracting day-trippers for more than 100 years. Taking the waters is the main attraction in this lakeside city, and there are both indoor and outdoor mineral soaks (泡澡) in a range of warm and comfortable temperatures to enjoy. Other activities include boating on the lake, golfing and hiking.
An hour’s drive north from Vancouver on the Sea-to-Sky Highway takes day-trippers to the town known as Canada’s outdoor recreation (消遣) capital. Located at the northern tip of Howe Sound, the small town of Squamish offers easy access to some amazing scenery and an exciting mix of outdoor adventures. With more than 300 climbing routes, the Stawamus Chief is a can’t-miss activity for rock climbers. For sightseers, the view of the sky-high Shannon Falls crashing into the Howe Sound offers an unforgettable experience.
Fishing has played a great role in the Vancouver region (地区) throughout its long history. That tradition is still celebrated in the historic village of Steveston located at the mouth of the Fraser River. Now as part of the city of Richmond, the community remains an active fishing port, having more than 600 boats. Steveston’s boardwalk (木板人行道) is a great spot to take in the scenery and enjoy the catch of the day.
Located just 15 minutes’ drive outside of Vancouver, Grouse Mountain is a popular year-round outdoor destination (目标), with hiking in summer and great skiing in winter. Equally enjoyable is a lumberjack (伐木工) show where visitors can watch lumberjacks competitively do their work.

【推荐2】Last summer, I went to India with my family. We spent 10 days traveling around Rajasthan and I will never forget it. We saw lots of things like the Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) and we went to a tiger reserve. Our guide was called Krishna and he was really nice especially when I didn’t always understand things, he would explain it to me and answer all my silly questions. Also when I got ill with a fever, he was really kind and gave me medicine and got a priest(神父）to give me a blessing in a Hindu temple we visited, and then I got well again very quickly.
There were lots of great parts of the vacation. One was when we got to ride on elephants in Jaipur, my sister and I rode an elephant called Lucky. We also tried riding the camel with the help of Krishna. He talked to the camel owner and we were able to do that. It was really cool! I also really liked the Taj Mahal because it was much prettier than I thought. My sister lost her shoes during the trip but the people in India are very friendly and kind, and they helped us find them. The weather was hot which was nice because Krishna gave us lots of time to spend in the pool and relax in-between going to see all the amazing places.

【推荐1】The Eiffel Tower is the most famous building in France, and it’s also famous worldwide as a symbol of France.

It was built to be the main entryway for the World Expo in 1889, to celebrate 100 years since the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower was built from 1887 to 1889.

It was the tallest building in the world for 41 years from 1889 to 1930. It is 324 meters high.
The Eiffel Tower was open to visitors on May 6, 1889. There are three levels for visitors.

【推荐2】The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics has already come to an end, and Chinese athletes (运动员) have made great achievements. But how will the stadiums (场馆) be used after the Olympics?
The designers have already considered that question in their designs (设计). The plan is to let the stadiums serve common people and increase their interest in winter sports. Just as one of the designers of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics said, “The stadiums can not only serve professional athletes in the games, but also serve the public after the games. ”
For example, the professional ice race lanes (车道) for athletes are 121 meters high and are not fit for amateurs. So the National Ski and Sleigh Center has kept a special lane for common sport-lovers. The height of the lane is about 40 meters. This can make sure they will stay safe.
The National Ski Jumping Center in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province will continue being open to the public for skiing in winter and jogging in summer. In fact, people can make use of the stadiums all year round. On the top of the center, people can walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery. There is also a standard football field that can hold 6,000 people. Even concerts and cultural fairs can be held there as well.
Time will tell whether the stadiums can be really made good use of after, the Olympic Games. In China, 300 million people have already taken part in ice and snow sports because of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Hopefully, that number will continue to rise with plans like these. After all, snow and ice sports belong not only to talented professional athletes, but also to everyone interested in them.
