“Traveling to China seems like traveling to another world. Its many famous scenic attractions impressed me     1     (great),”an American said. The following is     2     he wrote on his website.

My friends and I had a family visit in Xi’an,     3     old city with a long history in China. The hosts were retired or stayed at home without a job, and they were friendly to     4     (visit) from different countries coming their homes.

We     5     (taste) the true home-cooked dishes in the home of the family that we visited. For in-homing dinner, the host would prepare a list of menus in advance (提前). Our tour guide asked     6     (we) for advice about the food, so the host would try to cook what we wanted     7     (eat) at his home. We just enjoyed the locally cooked dishes. It was quite a different and exciting experience.

Many foreigners enjoy     8     (learn) how to make Chinese dumplings. We were also     9     (offer) a general cooking class in the local family. The host taught us to make dumplings step by step with lots of patience. And we didn’t need to pay any money     10     this. Travel China Guide offers this kind of service free of charge.

The family visit in Xi’an was a good chance for us to get to know Chinese people’s daily life.

Mount Wuyi lies at the junction (交叉点) of Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces. It is among     1     first group of China’s top tourist cities. In December 1999, Mount Wuyi     2     (list) as World Heritage-Mixed Property by UNESCO.

With rich tourism     3    resource), Mount Wuyi is a famous tea center in China. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046—771 BC), it was well known     4     a place of interest. It has a species-rich ecosystem, with 2,527 kinds of plant species     5     about 5,000 species of wild animals. Mount Wuyi belongs to the typical Danxia landform. Except for the     6     (amaze) Danxia landform here, the Daoism culture and tea culture also attract tourists at home and abroad,     7     (especial) those coining from Singapore and Malaysia.

The Mount Wuyi scenic area     8     (be) quite large. Attractions in the mountain are dotted(布满的) and the distance between each other is quite long. It is not recommended     9     (visit) all the sites in the mountain, but some main attractions. With the ticket, you can reach all the attractions,     10     (include) Tianyou Peak, Wuyi Palace, Dahongpao Scenic Area, Shuilian Cave, etc.

Once I went to a German city for vacation. The trip left a     1     (deep) impression on me than before. It was already dark outside when I arrived at the airport at 6 p.m. The first thing was to find a place to stay. I decided     2     (call) the youth hotel. But to use the phone I    3     (need) some coins. I asked a lady for help. To my surprise, she gave me three     4     (coin) to use. But all the phones there needed phone cards which could only be bought at post-offices during the daytime. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to call the hotel.     5     old gentleman helped me. He couldn’t speak English     6     understand that I needed to make a phone call. He showed me to the phone and inserted（插入）his phone card. I called the hotel and found a place to stay that night. The     7     (kind) of German people made me feel at home.

Wherever I went, I asked people for directions. It surprised me that almost every young German could speak English     8     ( fluent). Older Germans couldn’t speak English very well, but they would try to help me whenever they could. One middle-aged man even drove me to the place I was looking for. My experience in Germany completely changed     9     (I) impression of Germans.

I thought Germans were not     10     (friend) to foreigners before, but things have changed since then. The people in Germany couldn’t be more friendly.

Located between Jerusalem and the coastal city of Tel Aviv, Israel's Monkey Park is home       1     more than two hundred and fifty different species of monkeys.

    2     (consider)one of the country's most popular animal attractions, it offers a unique experience as it     3     (run) by the Israeli Primate Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose aim is to provide a rehabilitation（康复）center for monkeys while     4    （educate） the public about these lovely creatures.

Over the last two years the park     5     (receive) 650 monkeys from a breeding farm that shut down. Most monkeys in     6    park live in enclosures（圈地）. Visitors are able to view     7     (they)up close and, thanks to one     8    (special) designed section, are even able to interact with them. Right outside the visiting area is the rehabilitation center.

Among the family-friendly     9    (activity) offered at Monkey Park for human visitors are workshops, rides and wall climbing. There are also comprehensive guided walking tours,       10     last up to three hours. One feature of the Monkey Park is the children's playground. But it's still the monkeys that attract people most.

My Travel Experience in China

During the summer holidays I visited a variety of regions in China.

My first stop was Beijing and of course the Great Wall. Without question it lived up to my     1     (expect).

After a long journey, I reached Yunnan. With     2     (it) minority villages and impressive landscapes, Yunnan had a lot to offer. One of my     3     (enjoy) moments in Yunnan was during my visit to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The climb over the gorge was at times exhausting     4     always breathtaking. The beauty of its views couldn’t     5     (imagine) and they     6     (leave) me with many great memories.

After taking a boat from the mainland, I arrived at     7     island province of Hainan. There I visited Baihua Waterfall. Floating on a pool of water at the base and looking up at the waterfall with a background of blue sky was one of the most     8     (relax) experiences of my life.

Throughout China there are many ancient buildings and in particular ancient towns. Lijiang and Dali both have glorious     9     (example) of this. It was remarkable to step back in time and get an idea of     10     China might have looked like all those years ago. I thought the buildings were beautiful and full of history.

I had a wonderful time! China is both fascinating and beautiful!
