Just as the aged people need our care and love, the industrial heritage sites (工业遗址) are also expected to be filled with energy through protection and development. The following are some typical examples.
The 798 Art Zone, Beijing 798
Built in the 1950s as No 718 Joint Factory, it was gradually deserted in the 1990s as production slowed down. In 2006, Beijing local government turned the factory into a cultural and art zone. Now the art zone holds about 200 galleries (展览馆), art centers as well as fashionable shops, cafes, and restaurants, which also earns it a place on the to-do list of many tourists.
Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi
Jingdezhen City is known as China’s porcelain capital (瓷都). It has made good use of old ceramics (陶瓷) factories and built a place named Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue. Nearly 15,000 Chinese and foreign makers have come to set up their own businesses there.

 | Project in Singapore The fantastic man-made “forest” is a Singapore landmark. It is made from steel and concrete(水泥) covered in local flowers and plants. At night, 18 solar-powered tree-like towers which get their energy from the sun often light up the city. The project was awarded “the World Building of the Year” and its designer said the idea was to create “a city in a garden”. Clearly, the special way of building up the forest makes a difference to lifting the public’s awareness about environment. |

【推荐2】There are lots of museums in the world, but I think the most unusual one is the Science Museum in London. In most museums, there’s no shouting and you aren’t allowed to touch (触摸) the objects. But this one is different because it’s noisy! People are talking about what they can see and do there. It is fun and educational to visit the Science Museum because you can work out things and try out ideas.
I like three of the rooms in the Science Museum. The Launch Pad (发射台) is my favorite room because there are many newest things on show. There, you can learn about the development of modern technology and even do experiments (实验). I also go to the Robot room. Some of the robots are so smart that they can communicate with people. Then I go to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed (速度) with animals there. If you don’t run rapidly enough, the lion will catch you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
In the museum you have to follow some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the objects in the museum, but you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.
The Science Museum is free. If you go to London, make sure to visit it!
