Guiyang, the capital city of Southwest China’s Guizhou province, has been making great process and now attracts lots of visitors. Surprising natural beauty, tea culture, and lively ethnic minorities (少数民族) are the three you shouldn’t miss when visiting Guiyang. And visitors can experience all these in Qingzhen city, which is located in the west of Guiyang.

AJ Donnelly, a British vlogger, visited Qingzhen to find its special customs and wonderful landscapes. In this video trip, AJ showed us around the Hongfeng Lake, which is full of beautiful red leaves in autumn, and China’s newest popular place in the Internet, the Yangpi Waterfall, which means “goat skin” in Chinese. According to a local farmer, back in the day farmers at the far end of the river connecting to the waterfall would raise goats. And when they killed their goats, they threw the goat skin away in the river. That’s why we have the name Yangpi Waterfall. In the Ludishao Tea Expo Garden, AJ enjoyed himself in a tea garden. He even tried hand-picking his own tea and tried some to see if it tasted good. AJ also visited the Miao and Bouyei ethnic village in Maigc town in Qingzhen. Their amazing clothing unexpectedly appeared in Milan Fashion Week and offered the world a nice surprise.

Lovely Qingzhen is just a small part of “Cool Guiyang”, and there are more fantastic views the city has to offer. Come and see for yourselves, will you?

Traveling can be a fun way to have a good holiday. But what will you do if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here’s some useful advice.

Save: This may be the first most important for traveling. Cut costs and save money so you’ll have more chances about where to go and how to get there.

Plan ahead(提前)：Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought in a hurry. Giving yourself several months to get ready can save more.

Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experience together.

Choose places: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known place. Smaller towns may have many interesting activities and sights.

Use the Internet or travel books: No matter where you go, study the places you will visit and decide what to see. The net can help to save money. Some useful websites such as www. travelocity. com and www. economy-travel.com are good. Travel books will give you the information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.

Anna’s diary (日记)

	Place: Chicken House        Time: 8:00-9:00    It was my first time to feed chickens. The chickens were fat and cute. It was not difficult to feed them. My classmates and I gave them some vegetables and rice.
	Place: Around the farm        Time: 9:30-11:00    The farm was different from the old ones. There were some robots helping the farmer with farming. The farmer showed us around the farm and we learned about robots’ work. All of us were interested in it.
	Place: Big Kitchen               Time: 11:10-12:00    It was time for lunch. Cooking with teachers and classmates was exciting. The farmer gave us some vegetables. We had a not delicious but meaningful (有意义的) lunch. We were all happy.
	Place: Warm House               Time: 14:00-15:30    Strawberries are my favorite fruit. The farmer taught us how to pick strawberries. We picked many big and red ones. Some of my classmates took them home. I gave them to the farmer to thank him.
