Micro-tourism
Although the pandemic has prevented people from traveling far, there is a silver lining to that dark cloud: micro-tourism or mini-vacations,
Micro-tourism refers to short-distance travel in which people drive two or three hours to a nearby destination and spend two or three days. In contrast to a proper vacation, which usually involves careful plan, much long travel time, higher expenses and lasts over a week or more, micro-vacation needs little planning and time and is
Micro-tourism began catching on seven or eight years ago, but it has been increasingly popular since the COVID- 19 pandemic.
Among many micro-tourism forms, the development of the camping market is particularly noticeable. The camping equipment

Skywell
A skywell, or “tian jin”, as it is commonly called, is a typical feature of a traditional home in southern and eastern China. Skywells were designed to reduce temperature in buildings well before air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the incoming wind travels down the walls to the lower stories and creates
The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light, improve ventilation (通风) and harvest rainwater. In Huizhou, a skywell is small but tall, and the rooms around it
