2 . PANDA FAN XING CAN NOW BE SEEN！

Starting from Thursday, November 19,2020, the baby panda Fan Xing has access to his inside and outside enclosure (围场), and he can now be seen by visitors. The panda was born on May 1,2020, and remained inside the mother’s house behind the scenes for months.

Completely at home

Fan Xing is a giant panda with his own free will. He doesn’t follow his mother Wu Wen all day. Early in the morning, he went into the indoor enclosure and was peacefully sleeping there. After a while, he woke up and started to explore. However, he did not go outside yet.

The first visitors admiring Fan Xing

During the afternoon, members of Ouwehands Zoo were given the opportunity to be among the first to see the little giant panda. Whenever he wakes up, he explores his indoor accommodation, nibbles on bamboo and plays with his mother.

Multiple enclosures

The giant pandas have access to multiple enclosures, including behind the scenes. It could be the case that the giant pandas take a moment for themselves and are temporarily not visible to visitors. You can only visit Ouwehands Zoo with an online ticket during a reserved period to prevent the park from getting too busy.

Temporarily in the Netherlands

You can admire Fan Xing for about three and a half years longer. This is because he is only allowed to stay in the Netherlands for a maximum of four years before he goes to China, so he can contribute to the international breeding program for this unique endangered species.

Among all the European cities, I love Paris more. Paris is known for the world center of culture and fashion. You may find many famous museum there, the most famous of them is Louvre (卢浮宫).

Louvre dated back to the l2th century, which used to be a royal palace. It is said that it has a collection of roughly 400 thousand of artworks, paintings and sculptures including. In front of the museum is a glass pyramid designed by Bei Yuming. That makes Louvre famous is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

It is a pity that not all the collections are opened to the public, but Louvre is well worth paying a visit.

Thanks for lead me to some wonderful scenic spot in London.

To begin with, I appreciated the unique landscape of London what I had only seen on the Internet or on TV before. Of all the tourist attractions we visited about, the Big Ben and the British Museum left me the deep impression. More importantly, this trip helps me learn more about the connections between Chinese culture and British culture.

It was pity that we had only a day for our trip, which made me a little regret. How I wish you could have another trip soon. Thanks again but I'm looking forward to our next trip together.

Yours

5 . You can pay a fortune to travel around the world. Or you can pay nothing at all. Here are some places you'll never regret visiting. They won't cost you a dime.

The British Museum, London(U.K.)

You need to go here to see the Egyptian mummies, the ancient Greek Marbles and so many other treasures. It's open every day, and unlike most other attractions in England that cost much money, it's completely free.

National Mall, Washington D.C.(U.S.A.)

You can walk a pathway from the Lincoln Memorial to the severe Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to the Washington Monument with other sights in between. Do you know you can go up in the elevator to the top of the Washington Monument? Tickets are free, but pay a small fee to reserve them in advance to avoid being disappointed.

Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris(France) .

This great treasure of the world simply can't be missed. The great stained-glass rose window alone is worth the visit. The Sunday Mass with the Gregorian chant was like stepping back in time. Admission is free every day, but you're welcome to leave a donation. There are also free tours a few times each week. You'll pay extra for tours of the bell tower or the crypt.

National Museum of Ireland , Dublin and Mayo (Ireland)

Want to see bog bodies, gold ornaments, Viking artifacts and learn about rural Irish life? All four branches of this museum are free to visit, including museums devoted to archaeology, natural history, decorative arts and history and country life. The museum of country life in Tur lough Park, Mayo, is devoted to Irish rural traditions, while the natural history museum is especially famous for its collection of insects.

Nobody wants to be aged, but     1     it comes to visiting cities, most of us want to visit the world’s oldest cities. Luoyang is one of the oldest and most     2     (attract) cities in the world that I’d like to recommend to you.

Luoyang stands out       3     the oldest continually inhabited(有人居住的) city in Asia. The city is considered to be     4     birthplace of Chinese culture and history as well as being one of the Seven Ancient Capitals of China. There       5     (be) no other city in China that has seen so many         6     (dynasty) like Luoyang.

With such a long and       7     (excite) history, Luoyang has really a lot to offer. The Longmen Grottoes, which       8     (include) on the World Heritage List in 2000, and many historic Buddhist temples constant attract tourists from all over the world. Luoyang is also famous for the White Horse Temple, the     9    (early) Buddhist temple       10     (build) in China. Are you anxious to visit the city?

This morning my friends and me got up early to visit the Great Wall. Once we got there we began our climb. It started out pretty smooth. By the time we made it to the top we were sweaty and exhausting. But when the Great Wall appeared in front of us, we couldn't help cry, “Oh, my god! What wonderful sight it is! It looked like a huge snake which spreads through half of the city!” We walked along the Wall for a while after heading back down and making our way back to home. We felt very proud so it's the longest wall and one of the most famous tourist attraction in the world.
