4 . The Beijing Expo Park, where the International Horticultural Exhibition (国际园艺展) took place in 2019, has become a camping resort this summer. Twelve camping areas each named after the constellations (星座) have recently opened to the public at the park.
“When I see parents and children put down their mobile phones and enjoy their family time, I feel happy. At this moment, all our efforts in organizing this camping festival have paid off, ”said Xue He, a camping operator at the park.
“Located in the Yanqing district of Beijing, the camping area covers about 280, 000 square meters. It provides more than 1, 000 camping spots where tourists can spend their leisure time on picnics, fishing, horse riding, boating, and many other activities, ” said Han Weiwei, a manager of the Beijing Expo Park Investment and Development.
At the camping area named after Sagittarius, tents are spread throughout the woods, while a wooden trestle (支架) connects the campsites. “We pursue harmony between humans and nature, so the original plants were preserved as much as possible, ” said Liu Xiao’ou, an operator in the area.
“Horse riding is one of the most popular activities here, ”Liu said, adding that campers can ride horses in the Sagittarius area under the guidance of coaches. Children can also interact with some little cute horses which are less than one meter in height.
As the altitude in Yanqing is higher than that in downtown Beijing, the expo park is much cooler in summer. “This is favorable for camping. These abundant activities have given is so much fun, ” said a resident surnamed Yin from downtown Beijing.
In the coming three months, the Beijing Expo Park is going to host more than 30 activities during the camping festival, including bicycle races, fishing contests and night runs, according to the organizers.

6 . Green architecture is designed in an environmentally-friendly way. Many people think interest in green architecture has only begun in recent years.
To make it, much of green architecture focuses on building intelligently. For example, plumbing systems (管道系统) may be designed to use less water while still functioning normally.
Many architects build environmentally to show people that it’s possible. And they want to show the fact that being environmentally-friendly does not have to make a building bad-looking.

7 . In 2013, I realised that I needed a break from the office work, so I set out travelling. But I had no idea how much the decision would change me for the rest of my life!
Before travelling, I was always worried about what other people think of me. How I looked and dressed was really important to me. I was always worried about putting on weight, getting darker, wondering if I was good-looking enough to socialise and be one of the people I used to hang out with. It doesn’t matter now. I’m more confident with my colour, my weight, and how I dress.
I used to compete a lot even when I was still a kid. I always wanted to impress people with how smart I was, how I could handle any task… But now, why should I feel like I need to compete? I only need to impress myself. My life is already complete; I just have to make sure that whatever I do will be positive (积极的) and make me a better person.
I was a 24-year-old Filipina with a successful career (事业) and had all of the things I could buy. But when I started travelling, I was no one. I had to learn a lot of things when travelling and I loved it!
I thought the only skills I needed to improve were Microsoft Office and networking. Well, I can now proudly say that I know how to fix beds in a hotel style, how to cook breakfast for a lot of guests, and how to work in a restaurant!
Besides the skills I’ve learned volunteering, I have completed several certifications (资格证) to start making money to support my new lifestyle. I am now a yoga teacher, an Ayurveda massage therapist (按摩师) and an English teacher. Now, with the new skills and certifications, I can work wherever I want!
