【小题5】 it enters Southeast Asia, it travels slowly through hills and low valleys and the plains where rice grows. Despite the 【小题6】 (difficult), Wang Kun and Wang Wei were 【小题7】 (determination) to begin their journey at 【小题8】 altitude of more than 5,000 meters in Qinghai Province.

During   their   journey, they   enjoyed the 【小题9】 (continue) change of the weather. Finally, they reached Dali in Yunnan Province,【小题10】 Dao Wei and Yu Hang joined them. The four of them went on with their great bike trip.

For some people in China, the aim of travel is to create 15-second【小题1】(video). It’s not about where you have been, but about where you’re seen to have been.

【小题2】(situate) on cliffs above a river, Hongyadong is a stilt house complex(建筑群) in Chongqing . The bars, restaurants and golden neon lights【小题3】(be ) a popular draw since it was built in 2006. Last year the number of visitors increased sharply.

The main reason, it seemed, was Hongyadong’s sudden popularity on an app, Douyin,【小题4】 aim is not to produce a well-crafted video, but【小题5】(simple) to show that you have also been to the popular places. The beauty of the attraction is less important than the fact【小题6】people are flocking there to daka.

A subculture of young people who embrace daka as a lifestyle has developed. So-called daka zu--- “daka tribes”---can【小题7】(find)hanging out in various scenic spots,【小题8】(check) out as many hot locations as possible within a single day.

The daka craze may have practical origins. China’s young urban professions don’t have so much free time. Sometimes, they need to work overtime. So they have to make【小题9】best use of their limited leisure time. Douyin captures the mood with【小题10】(it) slogan: “Make every second count”.

Following Zibo and Harbin, Tianshui, an ancient Silk Road city in Northwest China’s Gansu Province, became the latest place that has caused 【小题1】 nationwide craze thanks to its malatang, or spicy hot pot. Tianshui spicy hot pot 【小题2】(make) by cooking raw ingredients(原料) —meats, vegetables and noodles, in a pot of boiling broth.

Fragrant and 【小题4】(visual) appealing, it provokes(刺激) taste buds on the tip of tourists’ tongue. Different 【小题5】 Sichuan cuisine, the secrets to the unique flavor and attractive appearance of Tianshui malatang come from local speciality ingredients in Tianshui—Gangu chili peppers and Maiji peppercorns, both 【小题6】(belong)to local speciality agricultural industries. Unlike the peppers used throughout Sichuan, the Tianshui pepper is fragrant and juicy. It 【小题7】(burn) in the mouth but is smooth in the stomach.

Tianshui not only has delicious spicy hot pot food, but also stands out for its distinctive 【小题8】(region)culture. Its grottoes and murals(石窟与壁画) are among the most famous art 【小题9】(form) in Gansu. The Maijishan Grottoes, 【小题10】 are home to 221caves and more than 1,000 square meters of ancient murals, are known for their impressive beauty.
