My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong【小题1】 August 15, 2011. He had dreamed about 【小题2】 (visit) since his boyhood and it【小题3】(be) the first time that he had been there. The following was 【小题4】 he had seen.

Arriving there, he was【小题5】(impress) by its beautiful scenery and tall buildings. It is said that Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he went, he saw many smiling 【小题6】(face) there. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easygoing and ready to help others. Much to【小题7】(he) surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places. 【小题8】crowds of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such a low voice as not to disturb one another.

Chinese and English are their official languages. English is 【小题9】(wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.Staying there for only a week was【小题10】 good experience that he will never forget.

During the summer holiday I had the chance to visit Pingtang County, Guizhou Province in southwest China. It’s 【小题1】 experience I will never forget.

Traveling to Guizhou by high-speed rail from Beijing, I 【小题2】 (astonish) at the rapid change in scenery from skyscrapers to beautiful tree-filled mountains 【小题3】 (rest) under a clear blue sky.

Upon arrival, I visited the Pingtang International Experience Planetarium, which displays China’s 【小题4】 (remark) achievements in science and space technology. The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) there is the largest one of its kind in the world. To visit FAST, visitors are not permitted 【小题5】 (bring) any electronic devices due to security measures. So they must record this once-in-a-lifetime moment with their hearts and minds.

【小题6】 (truth), my favorite part of the trip was my personal interaction with the local community. Following the instructions, I worked on two community farms, went hiking and swam 【小题7】 a fresh community river alongside fish. I was educated on the regional history of the Miao people 【小题8】 culture is rich in fashion, food, pottery and music. After this adventure, my 【小题9】 (appreciate) for Chinese culture has snowballed. While I am content living and working in Beijing, Pingtang County in Guizhou has opened my eyes to the endless positive 【小题10】 (possible) China has to offer.

Two villages have been named the Best Tourism Villages 2022 by the World Tourism Organization, thanks to their achievements in balancing tourism with economic development while 【小题1】 (stick) to environmental protection.

According to the organization, 32 villages in 18 countries and regions including Austria, Chile and China 【小题2】 (award) the recognition late on Tuesday. China’s Dazhai village in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region 【小题3】 Jingzhu village in Chongqing won the recognition.

Figures 【小题4】 (provide) by the county’s culture and tourism bureau show that tourism development in Dazhai has brought great economic benefits to villagers and created more jobs 【小题5】 them since the village started to develop tourism around 2003.

As the bureau has pointed out, 【小题6】 the village only received 32,000 visits in 2004, the number rose 【小题7】 (sharp) to nearly 798, 000 in 2019. The villagers’ average income among its 1,212 people of 271 households, also saw 【小题8】 rise from 700 yuan per year ($100) to over 34,500 yuan in 2019, the bureau said.

Jingzhu village, the other village recognized by the World Tourism Organization this year, is located in Wulong district of southwest Chongqing. Seated deep in the mountains, the Jingzhu Village keeps the lifestyles and architectural 【小题9】 (feature) that are rooted in its distinctive cultural and geographic conditions, laying the foundation of the successful renovation.

The World Tourism Organization began to award Best Tourism Villages across the world in 2021 【小题10】 (promote) the cultural heritage protection and sustainable development of villages. China so far has four villages winning the title, the other two being Yucun village in Zhejiang and Xidi village in Anhui.
