8 . The Malaysian night market is based on a concept of open-air shopping where streel vendors (小贩) take over a designated street to set up stalls (货摊). The night market is the place where you can hang around the stalls, enjoy the smell of local foods and maybe pick up some items.
Each night market comprises a different combination of stalls.
The night markets are typically from 5 p.m. till 10:30 p.m. You can get anything from night markets, be it groceries, clothing, good local food, hot snacks, household items, fresh produce, and even the latest styles. By around 6 p.m., the market is in full swing as the first groups of people sweep in. For those who cook, there is stall upon stall selling fresh seafood, meat products, and a limitless variety of vegetables.
It is no secret that all-night markets share a common treasure — tasty street cuisine.
Some places are 24-hour markets, which are livelier at night when traders set up numerous stalls selling unusual local food, exotic tropical (热带的) fruits, cheap clothes, second-hand goods as well as fresh produce. The night market is truly an exciting experience and a feast for the eyes on a tropical night out. The atmosphere is almost festive.
A.Your curiosity will be satisfied here. |
B.There is so much to see, buy and eat. |
C.People would complain about the noises here. |
D.Noisy crowds are the hallmark of the night market. |
E.It would be a regret not to try on mouth-watering local dishes. |
F.New items are constantly being added on in line with current trends and market demand. |
G.Dried and preserved items such as dried beef and salted eggs are easily available here too. |
9 . No matter what you’re looking for, Orlando has a perfect place for every type of traveler. Here’s my list of the best places to stay in town.
The Alfond Inn
The Alfond Inn is a modern, 112-room hotel in the super-walkable heart of Winter Park. It’s a quiet, art-filled space that I think couldn’t be more suitable for honeymooners.
The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a great restaurant, Hamilton’s Kitchen, with a focus on local food.
The Ritz-Carlton
For luxury (奢华) and an escape from the noisy city, treat yourself to a stay at The Ritz-Carlton. Located on a peaceful 500-acre land with three indoor pools, a championship-level golf course, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a tennis club, and award-winning dining choices, I think this hotel has a true getaway experience.
The Park Plaza Hotel
Built in 1922, this 28-room hotel is on the walkable shop-and-restaurant-lined Park Avenue in Winter Park, just north of Orlando. Having an elegant lobby with European-inspired decorations and nice rooms with balconies (阳台), the Park Plaza Hotel is a popular honeymoon spot and a favorite for writers and other creative professionals like myself seeking peaceful working vacations.
The Wellborn
Near the Thornton Park neighborhood, The Wellborn, a 20-room hotel, is in Orlando’s oldest house which was built in 1883. Just a short walk from downtown’s Lake Eola, The Wellborn is near many local bars and restaurants, and it has a romantic environment with gardens and tree-lined brick streets.

10 . A writer’s home is a kind of autobiography, and visiting the place where a great work of literature was written gives you a deeper understanding of both the book and the person who wrote it. Here are some famous writers’ houses to check out.
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s House
Emerson lived in this house for 46 years until his death in 1882 and wrote his essays Nature and Self-Reliance in a study on the first floor, although his son later said that Emerson’s “real study” was nearby Walden Woods.
Margaret Mitchell’s Apartment
For Gone with the Wind fans, Margaret Mitchell’s house is their dream place. Mitchell moved into Apartment No. 1 of this building when she just got married in 1926 and lived there for six years. She worked on her novel on a table in the living room. When the novel was accepted for publication in 1935, it immediately became a big hit.
William Faulkner’s Rowan Oak
Rowan Oak, Faulkner’s home for almost 30 years, is where he wrote many of his major works, including Light in August. In his study, he sometimes wrote his plot structures on the wall, and then painted over them when he finished the book. In fact, you can still see the plot for his novel A Fable penciled on the wall right where he left it.
Ernest Hemingway’s House
Ernest Hemingway lived in this house for the most productive eight years of his life. He wrote most of his major works in his office, which you could only get to by walking across a bridge that extended from the upstairs bedroom. Almost everything in the house had a story.
