3 . Having grown up in Arizona with the Grand Canyon and the red plateaus (高原) of Sedona in my backyard, I spent many younger days fishing and exploring the mysterious land. I believed this southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscape on Earth. No foreign scenery could compare with its endless blue sky and great mountains.
I thought so until I was invited to visit a southwestern province in China. On my trip to Guizhou, I had the chance to go boating on Wanfeng Lake. At one point I rested, floating at the centre of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and looking at the mountains around me. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father’s fishing stories.
During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artworks of the Bouyei ethnic group (布依族). They use colours produced from plants to make clothes of bright blues and greens. Local elders still practise weaving (编织) with wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren. The history here is easily noticed. One could reach out, touch it, and breathe it. It reminded me of my home. My mother loved to make our home more beautiful with paintings and some handmade artworks. The designs were ancient, and carried wisdom within them. This Earth is our home, and we celebrate its wonders. I caught that same feeling while enjoying the artworks in Xingyi.
I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 years, living a new life in China. I’ve successfully built myself a family and a career. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home.

8 . Now, people take trips by watching live streaming (直播) on Tiktok, Bilibili and others. This is called “cloud tourism (云旅游)”.
Zha Liguo is a guide (导游). During the May Day holiday, Zha took a group of visitors to Mount Huang. A lot of people joined him by watching his live streaming on their phones. It was not Zha’s first trip to Mount Huang. Last year, he stayed there for over 280 days. He showed the beautiful scenery (风景) and other interesting things in the villages near the mountain on Tiktok.
A lot of people are interested in Zha’s live streaming, so Zha has lots of followers on Tiktok. “Many people get bored with staying at home but they have no time to go out. I enjoy myself every time I enjoy the beautiful scenery, so I want other people to enjoy it,” Zha said.
Usually, people need to spend much time going out for a pleasant trip. But they often finish their trip quickly. So they can’t really have a good time. The “cloud tourism” really helps them a lot. Also, the “cloud tourism” is very convenient (方便的). Some people dislike taking a long trip. They think it’s tiring for them to decide how to go, where to live or what to eat. What’s more, the “cloud tourism” also makes a difference to a place’s business (生意). People like to buy things while watching live streaming.

9 . Holidays with friends can be great fun and a good way of getting to know each other better. Planning the trip well will help you have a good time. Also it will help you to save money if you start planning earlier.
Going abroad (出国) will cost more but be a more exciting experience. Don’t go abroad if this is the first trip. Going to a different place in your own country can also be fun and will be cheaper.
Work out how many people you will be able to plan the trip for. Find out how much interest there is for people to go on the trip, and then invite people who you think will enjoy themselves and who you get on well with.
Everyone has his or her own idea of what they want the trip to be like, so you should have a meeting. Keep a notebook and write down things to do. If you share ideas with others, you will take a happier trip.
After you decide on your hotel, you’ll know the dates of your stay and be able to book transport (交通工具), such as bus, train and airplane. Booking transport earlier can save some money, so you’d better book as soon as possible.
