After 【小题4】(reach) your destination, you will have a day to explore this ancient city. 【小题5】(especial) amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.

A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, 【小题1】 (connect) the Drum Tower, the bustling Nanluoguxiang Lane, the Jingshan Park and the majestic Forbidden City—this was Zhao Xianghan’s maiden city-walking journey in the spring of 2022.

Since then, the 21-year-old student from the Beijing Foreign Studies University 【小题2】 (remain) a city-walk enthusiast, believing it to be the best way to rediscover a city.

“I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during 【小题3】 going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the 【小题4】 (impress) that Beijing was a noisy place,” said Zhao.

“Yet now a city-walk allows me 【小题5】 (see) a whole different side of Beijing, which is full of serenity,” Zhao added.

With the increasing variety of travel options, 【小题6】 (tradition) group tours can no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personalized and different travel experience 【小题7】 hoping to find every part of the city in a more immersive way, according to a blog posted on social media platform WeChat that has gained more than 100, 000 views.

【小题8】 (compare) with tightly scheduled itineraries(行程) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses 【小题9】 free, casual and spontaneous experiences.

“City-walk is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is 【小题10】 (actual) a kind of slow-paced and low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” said Zhao.

Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said 【小题1】 was a wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for 【小题2】 (month). When the day came, we were ready.

After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation six months 【小题3】 (early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We 【小题4】 (tell) that our rooms had not been reserved for that week, but for the week after. I didn’t understand 【小题5】 this would happen and my credit card had already been charged 【小题6】 the booking. What’s worse, the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was 【小题7】 (surprise) helpful. She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on 【小题8】 top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.

The next day, my brother and I went to the beach 【小题9】 we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little 【小题10】 (sunburn), but the day had been so relaxing that we didn’t mind.
