4 . Dozens of sea turtles swim past as I dive. Suddenly a diver cuts me off. Then another. “Hey!” I think. “Watch where you’re going!” Then I realize: These aren’t divers. They are sea lions! The creatures blow bubbles at me and the group of 11 kids I’m on vocations with, hitting us slightly on our backs. To not bother them much, we tear ourselves away from the wonderland.

We take this trip to the Galapagos Islands, a group of tropical islands crossing the equator. Our hotel is a boat called the Eclipse that has a pool. Humans aren’t allowed to live on most of the islands. The only way people can experience the magic of this place and meet animals on all the islands is by “panga”. “Our small motorboat is more important than the Eclipse. It’s very safe,” says a local guide, Fielsch. Lack of human threat makes the animals friendly. “They don’t know enough to be scared of humans.” Our group experience that firsthand. When we return after our diving adventure, we find sea lions lying next to our backpacks! Walking along the sand, we see more wildlife: seals, red crabs, orcas.

The following morning, we reach Fernandina Island, known for its volcano. Flightless birds called cormorants build nests on the rocks. Nearby are Galapagos penguins. Averaging about 19 inches in height, they’re the second smallest species of penguin in the world. “The Galapagos are so curious,” says 12-year-old Harry. “You’ve got penguins living far from the frozen South Pole, and birds that don’t fly!”

As we ride back, six penguins stand like soldiers, seeming to say goodbye. It’s our last day; none of us wants to leave this place. We know this trip has been a milestone for us. A marked shift in our attitudes towards the natural world is underway. “The Galapagos Islands seem to break the world’s rules,” says Harry. “More than ever, I’m interested in saving the environment. These animals truly need our care,” his sister Hannah adds.

5 . Having more than 500 revolution- related sites, Zunyi of Guizhou province is a city immersed in red culture. "Zunyi is a city rooted in revolutionary history," said Zheng Yunjie, 17, who is from the city. "    1    However, they usually have a good impression toward Zunyi, I guess it's the 'red culture' that gives the city a positive image and makes it popular." Indeed, Zunyi has a close connection with the development of the Communist Party of China (CPC)and the Red Army, a forerunner of the People' s Liberation Army. During the Long March(1934—1936), Zunyi is where the Red Army, under the command of the CPC, turned setbacks into victories.

    2    They learn to cherish the "red spirit". Zheng, for example, has seen the rusty guns of the Red Army soldiers, visited the steeps of Loushanguan, and admired the monument carved with former leader Deng Xiaoping's words, "The spirit of the Red Army is forever remembered."

Schools also organize red-themed activities to pass on the cultural heritage to younger generations.    3    Huang Xinyi, 13, has participated in red-themed hand-copied newspaper competitions. In one of her articles, Huang wrote, "Looking like a rooster on the map, my motherland is grand and magnificent. With the red scarf floating over my chest, the Party's great mission is remembered in heart."

    4    The city has seen over 630.5 million visits during the past five years, gaining a revenue of about 641.67 billion yuan, according to China Daily. Every year from 2016 to 2020, with the help of booming "red tourism", more than 50,000 local people were able to shake off poverty.

    5    Tourists can dress like Red Army soldiers from head to toe for less than 100 yuan at Long March-themed cosplay shops in the city center. At local memorial sites, Red Army-related plays bring history back to life, reported China Daily. The Zunyi Conference site is a part of the planned cultural park. Mou Xinyue, 17, once volunteered as a tour guide at the spot. "Many tourists made special trips to Zunyi from thousands of miles away, just to relive those hard but glamorous days," she told China Daily, "The red history makes Zunyi a big name across the country, and I believe the cultural heritage will bring my hometown an even brighter future."

6 . While international travel is not an option due to the pandemic, Chinese tourists are still traveling within the country. Some people have an option for a more rural experience, though historic and natural wonders are still the priorities.

According to a recent report released by Chinese-owned Trip. com Group, one of the world's largest online travel agencies, rural tourism trips in China had increased year-on-year by more than 300 percent by March 2021.

Zhou Mingqi, founder and general manager of Shanghai Tour Guide Enterprise Management Consulting, said that Chinese people are tired of the hustle and bustle（喧嚣忙碌）of big cities and want to have unique experiences.

"There is a need to experience a different kind of life, like idyllic(田园诗般的）scenery or countryside life, to change a lifestyle on the weekend, " Zhou told CNN.

Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps organize countryside tours. She said that in one of the hotels she worked for, visitors can experience growing their own food, practice farming and learn about the region's traditional crafts and customs, CNN reported. Deng Yu, a 26-year-old tourist, likes the lifestyle very much. Working in big cities for several years, Deng told CGTN that rural trips help her not only "enjoy the landscape" but also "relieve stress by escaping the bustling city life and getting closer to nature."

Wang believes that experiencing a healthy lifestyle is another reason why city-dwellers travel to rural areas. Most of the visitors from cities are used to buying food in the supermarket. Sometimes they would worry about the food safety. But in rural areas, they can easily get healthy, fresh produce. Wang said that visitors from big cities come to buy flour, noodles, meat, eggs, honey and liquor, among other items.

The trend has also been pushed by Chinese internet influencers such as Li Ziqi, whose beautifully-shot videos of simple life in rural China have gained tens of millions of viewers.

To keep this boom going and attract more visitors, some rural areas are increasing their appeal.

"Nowadays· the rural areas in many places have indeed undergone major changes. Especially after renovating for tourism, it will become much more beautiful than in the past." Zhou told CNN.
