4 . China is a colorful country with amazing places and cultures. In this blog, we will introduce five most attractive places that you can’t miss if you are planning to go for a travel in China!

Beijing

Beijing, the capital of China for over 850 years, is the first choice for many travellers. A perfect combination of classic elegance and modernity, it is the best Chinese destination to give you a better understanding of the country. You can wander around the Forbidden City to feel the dignity of the city; or you can walk along the criss-crossing hutongs and enjoy yourself in everyday local life.

Xi’an

If you want to feel the history of China over the past 1,000 years, you can go to Beijing; however, if you want to experience the 5,000 years’ history of this ancient, oriental land, Xi’an is the best travel destination in China. As one of the four major capitals of ancient civilisation (together with Athens, Cairo, and Rome), Xi’an is the home of Chinese civilisation. The Silk Road starts from here, stretching through West China to the Mediterranean.

Guilin

Guilin, a peaceful city lying in the hilly south-western area of the country, is among the top Chinese destinations for its extraordinary natural scenery. The unique karst landscape with its four features, namely green hills, clear water, fantastic caves, and oddly-shaped rocks, makes it a famous tourist attraction.

Chengdu

Visiting the lovely giant pandas must be on everyone’s to-do list when planning a tour of the best Chinese destinations. Many cities have zoos with space for pandas, but the best place to get close to them is Chengdu for sure! Visiting Chengdu is also a treat for food lovers. Jin li Street is a great place to have a taste of well-known Sichuan food. Besides, you can also enjoy the comfortable atmosphere.

5 . Friendship is something that everyone needs. Success is nothing without friends. You share life, happiness and sadness. A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.

So what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control? Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with?

My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years. What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.

This makes me think about what friendship really means. I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument, fight, or the sadness of life. We promised each other we'd always be friends, through thick and thin. We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchildren. We always laughed at every little thing.

But then her grandfather passed away (去世) and suddenly our friendship was nothing. It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the Internet. I was sad and hurt that she would post (发帖子) what I told her for other people to see. I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent (发泄) her sadness, but I wish she'd kept everything between us.

I don't understand why she broke our friendship, and I don't think I ever will. I think friendship means we'll always forgive each other for our mistakes. I hope that finally I'll find that true friend who will always be there for me, and I there for her.

6 . VR is like something simply wear a headset and open your eyes in a completely different world, without having to leave the one you’re in. It’s great for gamers and fun for thrill-seekers, but honestly I think VR’s real potential lies in travel.

From holiday inspiration to making a booking, the future of travel ties firmly online. But I’ve spotted a trend: We don’t simply base our bookings on great deals any more. While at Expedia—an online traveling company, I’ve noticed that more and more holidaymakers want to guarantee they’ll be getting an authentic (真实的) experience: local produce, authentic dig sand adventures they’ll never forget.

Picture the scene: I can wear a headset and stand on top of Iceland’s Gulfoss waterfall, or, perhaps, Peru’s Machu Picchu. I could even find myself wandering the busy streets of an Asian city, where the tourist industry may or may not have taken away some of the local charm. VR has the potential to attract potential travelers with style and substance, offering true-to-life expectations and matching wearers to their ideal experience.

If you’ re sick of spending hours searching the Internet for your dream hotel, then don’t worry. Booking bot, an app, does all the hard work. I begin a message to Expedia with a friendly ”Hi“, input where I’d like to go, when and for how long, and in seconds, I’ll be shown the best deals. There’s little annoyance and I could be making a cup of tea in the time it takes to chat.

With the unavoidable airport check-in experience complicated, making it easy will be key in the future. Some experts are even going so far as to predict the fall of human interaction-front desk staff replaced by holograms (全息图), waiting staff exchanged for robots and smartphone apps.

I haven’t only seen VR making waves: AR is coming to the front as a holiday must-have, too. Travel is changing, and the future may not be as far away as we’d first thought.

7 . I believe that people should take pride in what they do，even if it is ________ by the public sometimes. I have been a professional skateboarder for 24 years. However, the activity was tagged(给……贴标签) with many ________ labels — some people said it was a waste of time and a dangerous activity.
