5 . The Great Wall in China is one of the greatest wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Different sections of the Great Wall have distinctive landscapes, and in this flower-blooming season, which one would you prefer to take a tour of?

Badaling Great Wall

The Badaling Great Wall is located in the northwest suburb of Beijing. It extends in all directions and therefore got its name as Badaling. Due to the strategic importance of Badaling, it was the place where the military fought in the past.

Mutianyu Great Wall

The Mutianyu Great Wall, 70 kilometers from urban Beijing, is known as the best part of the Great Wall. With a unique architectural style, it expresses the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644). The ancient architecture and the beauty of nature is blended into one harmonious whole, giving rise to Mutianyu’s reputation as having the most unique beauty anywhere along the ten-thousand-mile-long Great Wall.

Simatai Great Wall

For anyone intent on experiencing a section of the Great Wall that keeps a more antiquated air, the Great Wall at Simatai remains one of the best options. It is also the only section of the Great Wall that provides a night tour for tourists. It is said that since the Ming Dynasty, there has been a tradition that people holding palace lanterns visit this section.

Jiankou Great Wall

The Jiankou section is one of the most dangerous parts and mountain hikers usually call it “the wild Great Wall”.

6 . In Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, Finland, near the Arctic Circle, is the self-named “Official Santa”, a Finn who refused to give his real name, saying he was actually Mr. Claus. A couple of hundred meters away is Second Santa, whose real name is Kari Eskeli, 65, also a Finn. As soon as Christmas is over, he goes back home to the warmth of the Spanish Canary Islands. And then there’s Evil Santa, as he calls himself, an old man holding forth in his son’s busy souvenir shop just downstairs from Official Santa’s grotto.

At this time of year, families bringing wide-eyed children from different countries are brought to a snowy place that is, for children at least, a convincing recreation of the North Pole(which is actually 1,600 miles north). The dedicated Santa postal code of 96930 attracts half a million letters a year.

“What’s your real name?” many of the adult visitors ask Official Santa, and he has an answer:“It’s Santa Claus.” If they still insist, “Your original name?” then he responds, “Originally, it was Joulupukki.” Joulupukki is the name of the Finns’ traditional Santa Claus figure.

Fifty years ago, travel marketers got the idea to attract tourists to remote Lapland and chose Rovaniemi for its train station and airport. For many years, though, the Santa Claus attraction competed for visitors with tours to see the Northern Lights or go on reindeer safaris, most of those who came were from countries with a strong Christmas tradition, bringing children along on the greatest Santa’s Grotto experience.

Chinese tourism steadily increased, helped by Finnish official visits that marketed Lapland as Santa’s home. A lot of Chinese now think the North Pole is in Rovaniemi.

C．Where people often go at Christmas.	D．Why Chinese think the North Pole is in Rovaniemi.

8 . Hoo, the online hotel room offer platform, has found that the level of staycations being taken across 16 global holiday hotspots has increased by an average of 18 percent when compared to this time last year.

With the cost of accommodation also climbing 16 percent, Hoo found more of an increase in domestic demand for travel. “This time last year, we were already starting to see caution where our holidays were concerned, as the growing threat of COVID caused uncertainty over travel plans. A year down the line and there's an obvious shift away from international travel,” Hoo co-founder Adrian Murdock said in a statement, “Although we now remain in lockdown in many parts of the world, many are hoping that the easing of restrictions will allow domestic travel by the time the holiday season arrives.”

Hoo, a British-based company, is an online platform that allows users to book a hotel room at the advertised rate or to make an offer on the room which the hotel can accept or decline in real-time. The figures it collected from 16 key tourism markets show that, currently, an average of 76 percent of all bookings are for domestic holidays, with just 24 percent of bookings being made for holidays abroad. This is an 18 percent swing when compared to the same point last year when just 58 percent of bookings were for domestic holidays.

At the same time, this domestic demand seems to have caused an increase in the cost of staycations. Hoo also analyzed hotel room rates across major cities within each nation and found that the average cost of a room per night has increased by 16 percent.

A．People are worried about COVID.	B．People can travel as they like soon.
