I’m glad to share a truly unforgettable travel experience that I had during my last summer holiday with you.

This is what I want to share with you.

9 . The southern New Zealand town of Kaitangata appears the chief example of the countryside landscapes the island is known for; it’s lush (苍翠的), hilly, green, and peaceful. Only about 800 people live there, and it’s a mere eight minutes from the coastline.

For those who prefer the rural, slow lifestyle and community feel in their living environment, it’s basically perfect. And here’s the best part：New Zealand desperately wants you to move there. Seriously.

The small town is heavily involved in necessary industries relating to dairy (乳制品) processing and freezing works, which more than fill the area’s economic needs. In this very unique case, that presents a real problem: there are around 1,000 vacant jobs and too much affordable housing for the residents to fill.

“We have got youth unemployment down to two,” Mayor Bryan Cadogan says, “Not 2 percent — just two unemployed young people.”

So in response to this distinctive crisis, Cadogan and the town’s bank, lawyers, and community services are launching a recruitment (征募) campaign to try and attract candidates to the area with housing and land packages costing only 230,000 NZ dollars, or almost 165,000 US dollars.

According to the local residents, “Kai”, as citizens call it, is warm and mainly concerned with the community.

“This is an old­fashioned community, we don’t lock our houses, we let kids run free,” a local dairy farmer and third­generation native named Evan Dick told The Guardian.

“We have jobs, we have houses, but we don’t have people. We want to make this town vibrant again, and we are waiting with open arms.”

During the peak summer travel season this year, many popular tourist destinations in China have experienced large crowds, making it challenging for tourists     1     (get) tickets. Given these circumstances, cultural venues in many places have     2     (recent) announced extended opening hours, allowing people to explore during the evening hours. For instance, the Shaanxi History Museum has extended the opening hours to 8:00 pm every Sunday since mid-July.

In ancient China, a tradition of night tours, entertainment and dinners thrived (繁荣). When night fell, people would participate in     3     (activity) like reciting poems, appreciating the moon’s beauty and joining in tea-fueled conversations, said Wang Bin, curator (馆长) of the Xi’an-based West Market Museum. “Children can fully involve     4     (they) in the nighttime experiences of ancient civilizations right at the original West Market site. This is     5     we integrate these cultural elements. And this approach     6     (welcome) by both parches and children ever since,” Wang said.

To meet people’s     7     (grow) demand for night travel, China has developed a night culture     8     night tourism economy in recent years, with some places winning fame for night fairs and performances. Even at 10:30 pm, subways in many cities remain busy with people. Nighttime cultural tours have changed the     9     (convention) tourism model of traveling during the day and sleeping     10     night.
