A Bite of China

No trip would be complete without experiencing the local food culture. Actually, China has various kinds of delicious food, 【小题1】 (include) a wide variety of local snacks (小吃).

Without a doubt, for the majority of the foreigners I contacted, and myself included, Peking Duck, Dim Sum, Mongolian Hot Pot are the favorite Chinese 【小题2】 (dish). China is a place 【小题3】 the food is not only delicious, but the 【小题4】 (cheap) I’ve ever found.

【小题5】 my last night in Beijing before returning to the States, I went to a Peking Duck restaurant that had been suggested for me to try. What a beautiful place! Splendid woodblock prints on the walls, fresh flowers in the vases on the table, 【小题6】 (attractively) silverware (镀银餐具) and beautiful chopsticks. I was handed 【小题7】 menu and found most of the prices 【小题8】 (be) especially low for the high quality of the food. The duck came in whole or half, along with all the little decorations that you know if you’ve ever eaten Peking duck—a little tortilla (玉米饼）to put the sliced duck，vegetables，chopped onion and sauce in.

Anyway, I ended up ordering a whole duck and thought I’d just take the rest back to my hotel 【小题9】 (eat) later if I couldn’t finish it. Unbelievably, in the end there was none of the whole duck 【小题10】 (leave) on the plate. Umm, yummy!

Welcome to Lijiang, 【小题1】 very impressive ancient city! Upon your 【小题2】 (arrive), your guide and driver will meet you at the airport or the railway station, and transport you to the hotel in ancient town area with a private car which is 【小题3】 (comfort), air-conditioned and non-smoking.

After a short rest, you’ll start a memorable tour in Lijiang Ancient Town. 【小题4】 (establish) in the Ming Dynasty as a business center, it is a well-preserved 800-year-old town, which 【小题5】 (list) as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Wander to the central area of the old town and visit Mufu Palace. It is famous 【小题6】 the architectural buildings. 【小题7】 (get) into the palace, you can know Tusi’s ruling history and appreciate Naxi people’s brilliant culture and fine arts. Then, walk through the old alleys (小巷), old bridges, featured shops and bars to Sifang Street Square, 【小题8】 is a must-see attraction. If time permits, join the Naxi people and tourists to dance 【小题9】 (happy) in a round.

The small town also enjoys convenience in transportation. There 【小题10】 (be) direct flights from dozens of cities and trains are also available from Kunming, Dali.

When【小题1】 （choose）a place for a vacation or a trip，you need to know what that place can offer，and you should also take other 【小题2】 （factor）into consideration（考虑）.

The amount of money you【小题3】 （spend）is an important factor and plays an important role in making your 【小题4】（decide）. For example，traveling to big cities【小题5】 London，New York，Paris is expensive. When you travel to Asia，the cost is usually【小题6】 （low） and you don’t need to spend much on traveling.

Another important factor is 【小题7】 number of the days you want to spend. There are many places in the world that can【小题8】 (cover) in a week’s time. You need to arrange more time if you are to visit big cities，【小题9】 (especial) those with a long history and multi-cultures.

Besides，you need to consider whom you are going to travel with. If you travel with your family，you will need a place【小题10】 you can enjoy with your family members. If you travel with your friends，a city full of amusement parks，museums，shopping centers will be a good choice.
