Grace went to Qingdao on vacation. The first day the weather was terrible! It was cloudy and rainy. Grace took a bus to a park. The park was crowded but very interesting. It was sunny and hot the next day. Grace went to the beach. She played soccer and went skateboarding. It was great! The last day she visited her aunt and uncle. In the evening, they went to the movies. They watched a very funny comedy. Then they went home.

Nowadays many people want to have a more interesting experience when arriving in a new city or country. Here are some better ways to travel, both for you and for the environment.

Way 1 Get out of the car and walk. It’s slower but it’s the greenest way to travel. It’s also the most rewarding (有益的) way to see a city, but remember to wear comfortable shoes. You can walk slowly, enjoy fresh air and beautiful scenery (景色) along the way.

Way 2   Riding a bicycle is also a good choice. Many hotels now have free bikes. You don’t need to spend money on it. It is convenient for people to travel around the city. Some hotels also provide electric bikes that make it easier to go up hills and on longer trips. Some cities also have motorbikes, and you can pick up one easily. It’s not free but very cheap.

Way 3 If you have to take transportation in a city, try to take public (公共的) transportation. Most cities now show lots of information and very clear maps about the public transport on the city’s website. So find them on the city’s website when you arrive in a city.

Way 4   If possible, take trains or ships to travel from city to city. They are usually greener than cars and planes.
