Situated on the border between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, the four-lane Beipanjiang Bridge has 【小题1】 total length of 1,341.4 meters. Soaring (耸立) 565 meters 【小题2】 the Beipan River – equivalent to a 200-story skyscraper – it’s the world’s highest completed bridge.

The Beipanjiang Bridge is located at the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Karst landforms (喀斯特地貌) are 【小题3】 (type) in this area as the dissolving of rocks creates unique features such as 【小题4】 (hide) caves and cracks.

Initially, the plan was 【小题5】 (build) a suspension bridge. However, the design team found 【小题6】 impossible due to the mountains’ loose structure. The team then decided to build two towers at both 【小题7】 (end) of the bridge and connect the towers and the main bridge with a number of cables. When vehicles pass, the weight will be transmitted to the towers through the cables and move pressure towards the towers. 【小题8】 (simple) put, as the vehicle travels on the bridge, the towers will only become more and more stable.

Having opened in late 2016, the bridge significantly reduced travel time from one side of the river to the other. With the two sides better connected, local tourism has also been boosted. “I never 【小题9】 (imagine) that people from big cities would visit my village,” Ma Xuanjun, a villager told People’s Daily, 【小题10】 has been running a farm stay to cater to tourists coming to see the bridge.

The China Tourism Academy released a report saying that education tourism has become popular among people of all 【小题1】 (age).

More than 6 million people joined study tours last year, 【小题2】 (high) even than the pre-pandemic number of 4.8 million in 2019, according to the Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee of the National People’s Congress.

“The key difference between study travel and other tourism products 【小题3】 (be) that study travel focuses 【小题4】 learning while traveling,” Luo Shugang, director of the committee, said at a forum.

He said that study travel can date back to the Song (960-1279) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasties, when many poets wrote of 【小题5】 (they) experiences on study travels.

“An industry for study travel 【小题6】 (form) during the period of reform and opening-up, which has 【小题7】 (rapid) developed in the past decade.” he said, 【小题8】 (add) that students in primary and middle schools are so far the main participants in education tourism.

Dai Bin, president of the Chinese Tourism Academy, said at the forum that the development of education tourism had promoted the social education of primary and middle school students, 【小题9】 had played 【小题10】 important role in combining culture with tourism.

Spring is the best time to visit Jiangnan, the regions around the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (长江中下游地区) for wonderful 【小题1】 (view), rich culture, delicious food and warm weather. In East China’s Zhejiang province, Taizhou city, 【小题2】 unknown but attractive destination, offers an authentic (真正的) Jiangnan travel experience.

【小题3】 (locate) in the downtown area, a 1-kilometer-long Jiazhi ancient street is lined up with more than 30 old buildings, which 【小题4】 (repair) to their original state over the past few years. The ancient parts were numbered, drawn and dismantled (拆除), while three-dimensional architecture models (三维建筑模型) were made 【小题5】 the same time to guide the repair later. The prosperity (繁荣) of the street dates back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), when stores showed 【小题6】 (vary) goods. Today, it is open again to the locals and tourists after renovation, with some businesses 【小题7】 (raise) the city’s night economy.

The district organizes culture and music events 【小题8】 (regular). At the downtown square, there are young bands singing on the grass for audience, 【小题9】 can rest in their own camps. Don’t hesitate to show 【小题10】 (you) talent if you happen to see one.
