3 . For some in China, the aim of travel is to create 15-second videos. It's not about where you've been. It's about where you're seen to have been.
Perched(坐落于)on cliffs above a river, Hongyadong is a stilt-house complex in mock-traditional(仿古的)style in the city of Chongqing. Its bars, restaurants and golden neon lights have been a popular draw since it was built in 2006. Last year the number of visitors surged, with the waiting time to get in being three hours. For a while Hongyadong became the biggest attraction in China after the Forbidden City. The main reason, it seemed, was Hongyadong's sudden popularity on a social-media app Douyin, which is used for sharing photographs and 15-second videos.
Instead of having fun, some people now go in great numbers to remote strawberry farms or Icelandic fjords(峡湾)to take photos to impress their friends on social media. In China, Douyin, launched in 2016, has 230m monthly active users. Unlike users of Instagram, who mainly browse feeds of pictures posted by people they follow, Douyin's fans commonly use the app to watch hot-trending videos posted by users they do not know under categories such as “food” and “scenic spots”.
Uploading a picture or video from a photogenic spot to sites such as Douyin and Kuaishou is known in China as daka, meaning “punching the card”. The word is also used to refer to the practice of registering your presence at a location that has already become hot. The aim is not to produce a well-crafted video or beautiful photograph, but simply to show that you have also been to the places that are popular.
A subculture has developed of young people who choose daka as a lifestyle. So-called daka zu-“daka tribes”-can be found roaming Chongqing and other cities, checking in at as many hot locations as possible within a single day. Guides can be found online, to show the most efficient ways to achieve this. Companies offer “daka tours”. Shops and restaurants in China try to make themselves as daka- friendly as possible: a coffee shop in Beijing built inside a shipping container, for example. Douyin users can use the app to create “daka videos”: super-speed slide shows of themselves at daka sites.
The daka craze may have practical origins (起源). China's young urban professionals have little vacation time. In their first year at a company, employees can expect at most five-day paid-vacation. So workers need to make the most of their limited leisure time. Douyin captures the mood with its slogan: “Make every second count.”

6 . It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. "The day starts at dawn on my farm," he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. "Don’t be late for supper," Uncle Paul cried, "and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!" "OK! " my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

7 . Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.
