5 . Qatar World Cup Stadiums

For the 2022 World Cup, Qatar has gone all out to build and rebuild eight breathtaking stadiums. All of them are located in its capital Doha and the neighbouring cities, and will host 32 teams in 64 matches. The average capacity (容量) of the stadiums is as high as over 53,000.

Qatari officials made a budget that they may need to pay up to $10 billion to complete the stadiums for this World Cup, but they have managed to get it done for less. The cost for all eight World Cup stadiums stands at around $6.5 billion.

All the stadiums are powered by solar-panel farms, and, given Qatar’s hot climate, their cooling systems have been particularly designed. In fact, Qatar’s devotion to sound environmental practices has earned all the stadiums four or five stars from the Global Sustainability Assessment System. It’s also very impressive.

Here are four stadiums of the eight modern marvels.

6 . Traveling along the old Silk Road can be a quite interesting and rewarding experience. Here is some information that the visitor should consider when planning a possible travel on the road.

Language. While traveling along the road, the visitor can meet with about 20 different nationalities.     1    . However, Some ethnic groups began learning Mandarin（普通话）and adopted the lifestyle of the Han people. Chinese became the official language in the autonomous regions.     2    .

Accommodations. The Silk Road spans most of China, from modern cities in the central China to villages and towns in the remote west. Accordingly, accommodations along the route range from high standard hotels to simple guesthouses.

In big cities like Dunhuang, Urumqi, Lanzhou, the visitor can enjoy high standard hotels. They all provide excellent conditions, good services and they are quite safe.     3     . Visitors without money may consider the cheaper guesthouses because these guesthouses with simpler equipment and basic service are fit enough to live in for most Chinese travelers. In the remote villages, only simple accommodations are available.     4    

Travel by Road. Buses are the most inexpensive method of transport along the Silk Road but, unfortunately, they are very slow.     5     . A travel by car can be the only way to visit sites far from cities or towns that would otherwise be hard to reach. Rental prices are based on the number of days and kilometers traveled, and sometimes they can be negotiated（协商）.

7 . Get ready for the journey of a lifetime — this driving route will introduce you to the very best of the South Island of New Zealand.

Keen golfers may like to get up early for a round of golf before continuing their journey to Geraldine，a pretty town known for its clothing stores and delicious foods. Stop for lunch and explore Caroline Bay. Afterwards，drive west to admire the lakeside Church of the Good Shepherd，and then spend the afternoon at Lake Tekapo enjoying the great outdoors — perhaps fishing or hiking.

Start your day with a sightseeing tour by helicopter — the best way to enjoy the scenery including Mt Cook. Next，drive south along SH 8 to Omarama，a popular place for gliding. Turn off SH 8 and head east along SH 83 through the beautiful Waitaki Valley to Oamaru. At dusk，visit the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony to watch the world’s smallest penguins come ashore.

Drive south along SH 1 to Dunedin and spend the rest of the day enjoying many experiences Dunedin has to offer. History lovers will enjoy fantastic museums and historic houses such as Larnach Castle. Get back to nature — drive out along Otago Peninsula to visit the NZ Marine Studies Centre and Aquarium.

Make sure your camera is charged because Day 4 is the most wonderful sightseeing. Visit the Department of Conservation for an insight into the region’s natural treasures before setting out for Milford Sound. A guided tour is an excellent choice that allows you to focus on the scenery.
