Nowadays, with the increasing variety of travel options, conventional group tours,     1     going to scenic spots and taking photos is a big thing, can no longer satisfy a person     2     (look) for a more personalized and differentiated travel experience and eager to find more information about every part of a city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way.

City-walk, which is all about doing whatever you want in your own     3     (explore) of a city, can meet all these needs, and     4     (consider) the best way to rediscover a city.

Compared with     5     (tight) scheduled travel plans and picture-taking tours, city-walk focuses on the free, casual and spontaneous (心血来潮的) experience. It allows people to see     6     whole different side of a city, permitting them to experience urban life with no transportation other than     7     (one) legs and feet.

    8     a kind of slow-paced and low-carbon lifestyle, city-walk provides people with fresh new insights into the culture and landscape of a city as well as its beautiful natural scenery, and     9     (catch) the public’s eye on various social media platforms during the past months.

After 53 years as Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the southern shores of Lake Michigan     1     (rename) the United States’ 61st national park. Fifteen miles of beaches give way not only to     2     (impress) sand dunes, but also wetlands, maple trees, and fields of wildflowers that come and go with the seasons.

Don’t let its small size and     3     (recent) upgraded designation confuse you: Indiana Dunes National Park’s vivid biosystem ranks seventh out of more than 400 National Parks across America. Here is how you can make     4       most of your trip.

Indiana Dunes National Park is located in the Indiana Dunes State Park,     5     you can find the three tallest dunes: Mount Tom, Mount Holden, and Mount Jackson. However, the most dynamic dune—Mount Baldy, is slowly fading away, or “starving”,     6     (move) roughly four feet a year. The trail to its top is regularly closed; if     7     is open during your visit, go.

Aside from the spectacular sand dunes, the     8     (major) of the park’s annual visitors come for the swimming and surfing. Lake View, Kemil, Dunbar, and Porter beaches are all at your service, with small parking lots that fill up quickly in summer.

The Port of Indiana is a reminder that this area narrowly     9     (escape) industrialization. In fact, the once-largest dune, the Hoosier Slide, was carried off in boxcars as early as 1916. Activists fought to preserve the dunes; their eventual success resulted     10     today’s fascinating landscape.

Karakul Lake, which literally means “Black Lake” in the local language, is anything but black. I’ve     1     (personal) witnessed the water changing colors from light purple     2     a glowing blue and it really is spectacular. The lake’s location along the Karakoram Highway near Kashgar makes     3     a wonderfully secluded place     4     very few tourists tend to travel. At the foot of the Muztag Mountain     5     (lie) a small village whose buildings are still made of mud and brick, a great place to buy a hand-made wool carpe t from     6     (local). As always, be prepared to spend the night in a     7     (comfort) yurt (蒙古包). The area     8     (surround) the small Karakul lake isn’t quite as green as the other three lakes, but there is still plenty to do. While every lake offers some sort of horse or camel riding experience, Karakul is one of the few spots where you can completely circumnavigate (环航) the lake in     9     (little) than a few hours on horseback.

It’s also possible     10     (hire) a guide to help you climb the neighboring mountain, but their safety record is 3 deaths in 2008 out of only 300 climbers according to one local.
