Hiking tours are a kind of adventure (冒险) tourism. Generally speaking, these vacations focus almost entirely 【小题1】 hiking from one place to another. Hiking tours can be done as a group activity or alone.

There are many different ways of organizing hiking tours. Some people like to go out into the areas where there are very few people and travel over long 【小题2】 (distant) from one place to another. They usually stay in hotels overnight before 【小题3】 (travel)to the next place on the following day.

Guides can make hiking trips safer and more focused. Some hikers prefer to take hiking tours without guides because of costs or because they want to challenge 【小题4】 (they). However, employing a 【小题5】 (rely) guide during a hiking tour 【小题6】 (consider) as a better choice for less experienced hikers.

The activity can be very tiring, and those 【小题7】 are new to hiking may worry that they aren’t 【小题8】 (physical) able to finish the tours. Sometimes it can be helpful for people 【小题9】 (go) to the doctor and make sure it is safe for them to choose 【小题10】 difficult hike. Sometimes, a challenging hike can be deadly for someone having heart disease.

My parents tried to talk me out of it when they heard about my plan 【小题1】 (cycle) alone across western China. 【小题2】 I didn’t change my mind. Even though I lived in China for six years, mostly in Beijing, I really felt like I 【小题3】 (understand) very little of the country before. So I decided to go on 【小题4】 one-month journey to discover more.

China is so safe. I never had a moment 【小题5】 I found I was in danger. Wherever I went, there was always a phone signal and even mobile payment. One of the best parts of the whole experience was Chinese people. I met people from different ethnic 【小题6】 (minority) across China. I once got to attend a local wedding, and a girl even lent me a 【小题7】 (tradition) dress for the day.

The food was 【小题8】 (definite) another highlight of my journey. I tasted local food in every place I went to. My favorite was the cuisine of Sichuan, a province 【小题9】 (know) for its spicy flavors and interesting dishes. By the end of my journey, I had wanted to keep going.

If anyone had an interest in traveling in China, I would highly recommend 【小题10】 (go) by bike!

Cultural tours light up nightlife

During the peak summer travel season, many popular tourist destinations in China have experienced overwhelming crowds, making it 【小题1】 (challenge) for tourists to secure tickets. 【小题2】 (consequent), cultural venues in many places have recently had their opening hours 【小题3】 (extend), allowing people to explore during the evening hours.

As the sun began to set, tourists started their evening explorations with a museum in the ancient city of Xi’ an in Shaanxi Province. “We’ve heard that the art museum has lengthened the opening hours 【小题4】 10 pm. So we decided to visit here before 【小题5】 (enjoy) the night scene of the Grand Tang Mall when the lights are all on,” said Chen from Chongqing.

In ancient China, when night fell, people would engage in activities 【小题6】 they could recite poems, appreciate the moon’s beauty and engage in tea fueled conversations. To meet 【小题7】 (people) growing demand for night travel, China develops a night culture and a night tourism economy. In recent years, some places 【小题8】 (win) fame for night fairs and performances. Even at 10:30 pm, subways in many cities remain packed with people and the night fairs continue with diners.

Nighttime cultural tours have changed 【小题9】 conventional tourism model of traveling during the day and sleeping at night, contributing to increased nighttime spending and boosting the 【小题10】 (grow) of entertainment and accommodation.
