I went to three cities to play during last summer holidays. They are

Beijing, Dalian and HuHehot.

I went to Beijing more than eight times. Beijing is the capital of China.

It’s a big city. I am very familiar with Beijing. It takes an hour and forty

minutes from Nantong to Beijing by plane. There are many tall buildings in

Beijing. It’s a modern city. My family visited the Great Wall, the Summer

Palace, the Palace Museum, the Beihai Park, the Space Museum, etc. I went to the

countryside of Beijing to go boating and fishing. It was very interesting. I

went shopping in WangFuJing. I bought lots of souvenirs and other things. I like

eating Beijing snacks. They are delicious. Don’t mithe Beijing Duck. It is

really nice.

Dalian is a beautiful city. Dalian is close to Beijing. I spent 5o minutes

on the plane. Dalian is near the sea. I smelled the salty taste in the air. The

roads are clean. There are lots of trees and flowers near the roads. There are

many esplanades and Japanese buildings. There are some fountains in one of the

esplanades. Some people flew kites and walked on the esplanades. We went to see

the beach and the sea. The sea is blue. There were many swimmers in the sea. I

lay on the beach to see the sky.Dalian is a very nice place to live.

Huhehot is in Inner Mongol. There are lots of large grasslands. The

grasslands are endless. The sky is bright blue. There were a lot of horses and

sheep. They were running or eating grass. I rode a horse on the graland. I

picked some colourful flowers. We drank the tea with milk. There is a small

desert, it was very hot when I walked on it. The sand could sing.

These trips helped me open my eyes. I enjoyed my day.

There are varied ways of defining tourism. Some people regard it as a

pollution-free industry; others think of it an invisible school, Both are based

on an accepted fact that tourism cannot only produce profits bearing no

pollution along with, but help broaden knowledge and fortify healthy. Aside from

the above there exists awidespread theory, claiming that whatever is of the

ability to increase in capital belongs to productive industry. In this sense,

tourism should hold a position in the scope and ought to be treated as such.

It is true that there is some sense in the theory, yet another equally or

even more important aspect should be granted more publicity to. Tourism, in

terms of its objective purposes, has a social function which contributes to

human communication. Coming from vadous social backgrounds, having motives and

goals of every kind, tourists get together, draw close and exchange ideas of

their own, from which a fresh state of mind will be created. So what kind of

production is it? To the question we should have good reason to give a proper

answer: it is a spirit production, a reproduction of relations of production.

And the more frequently such exchanges are made, the more good they will do to

promoting social and economic development of the mutual. If it is the case that

making money through tourism means a dent we have made, so it foretells a

fortune to provide cultural service along with tourism. Therefore, to keep close

eyes on the latter involves changing our minds first, that is, tourism is by no

means a pure economic concept, but takes plenty of ideological activities as its

content.

To sum up, unlike other economic forms, the profits from tourism economy

cannot be measured completely by means of how much output value, profit, and

foreign exchange it will produce. In addition to the reputation of

pollution-free industry, its social and far-reaching profit should be probed

more deeply. As such the existing scenic spots ought to be kept in good

maintenance, and some new ones exploited. Moreover, constructing first-class

soft and hard surroundings is desired to attract tourists, the foreign and the

domestic.

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival for all Chinese people. On

that evening there is a very traditional ceremony----Spring Festival Gala, which

is the favorite for many people. It brings so much happiness to Chinese all

around the world .

When asked about their opinion on Spring Festival Gala, people always

reason differently. Some people deem that it should be cancelled, while there

are also other people who argue that it should be continued.

Some people take it for granted that the Gala should not exist because it

is too boring on the evening of the Lunar New Year. Besides, the form of the

Evening seems the same every year. In comparison, there are, however, a large

number of people who hold a different view concerning this issue, they insist

that the Gala must be continued. They argue that it is one of the most important

celebration customs. And they think the Gala is worth expecting.

As far as I am concerned, I am intending to stand on the side of the latter

group of people. Admittedly, the former point of view seems reasonable, but the

latter is more persuasive. Taking the above-mentioned factors into

consideration, I can safely conclude that the Gala just needs a reform in the

future but not to be cancelled.

Every summer vacation, mom and dad used to take me to travel, we visited

many places, there are well-known mountains and rivers, lake, village town. I

was impressed with the sea and the Butterfly Valley in Yiyuan.

Last summer we went to look at the sunshine, this is my first time to see

the real sea, when I rushed toward the beach, moist and fresh air makes me one

of the earthquake, it is refreshing in contrast, thorough physical and mental, I

live in the city air is simply "muddy"; let me understand the vastness of the

sea what is called "endless", the sea of "mind" is "wide"!

Walking, swimming, beach shallow water waves, yacht leisure, enjoy the

stimulation and really suffered the sea taste "".

Touch stone, pile sand dunes, pick up shellfish - seeking, creative,

mysterious, more is the "fun" of the sea.

The riotous with colour shells, peculiar looking appearance is for changing

from the extraordinary as if done by the spirits, luster shining too profound to

be understood the mystery of the sea! You can really eat as much as Tibet, so I

still get lost in your imagination.

With the edification of the sea, I memorable the feelings of the mountains,

and the impression of the Butterfly Valley in Yiyuan is still in the eye.

In the deep rich valley, all the butterflies dancing, like a fairy to see

their beautiful and leisurely flying posture, charming color, in which a wild

profusion of vegetation in the valley formed a beautiful landscape, the

Butterfly Valley is a well deserved reputation.

I see in a daze, a dazzling beautiful butterfly indigo falls on my front, I

suddenly froze, afraid frighten it with her eyes staring at it, it has wings,

the background is the illusion of indigo, arc two golden yellow, the center is a

large pea red dot, my mind suddenly flashed a thought "what a punchline, here is

simply not worth mentioning."

Very not easy to wait until it slowly away, my soul like is it away, looked

at the direction it flew in a daze staring blankly.

At home in the evening, I had a dream. I dreamt that I became an indigo big

butterfly, and I flew away in the direction of it.

Or, we may go to Hainan together, for I am always hoping to come to that place again. I really like that place, a place of bule and brightness.

今天爸爸妈妈带我去西安旅游，这是我第一次坐飞机，想想就好兴奋啊。飞机在蓝蓝的天空中翱翔，朵朵白云从身边飘过，看上去就像软软的，甜甜的棉花糖一样。

抵达西安后我们的第一站是大慈恩寺，里边有一座大雁塔，此塔是玄奘大师从印度（古天竺）取经回来后，专门从事译经和藏经之处，因仿印度雁塔样式修建，故名雁塔。而且由于地下水的过度开采和地壳运动，塔身已经有点倾斜了。

从大雁塔出来我还看了个拉大片，就是趴在箱子上往里看，里边演的是孙悟空打妖怪的故事，旁边的爷爷一边敲锣一边讲。第二天，我们的行程是华清宫和兵马俑。早晨伴着淅淅沥沥的小雨来到了华清宫，这里是皇家游览沐浴的胜地，也是西安事变的发生地。我们坐索道上了骊山，站在山顶西安城尽收眼底。

下着小雨的华清池别有一番景致。

从华清宫出来我们去了兵马俑博物馆，这里人好多，俑坑最下面全部是用秦砖铺起来的，听一个讲解阿姨说，秦砖距今已经2000多年了，这个工艺已经失传了，而且每一块砖上都刻有工匠名字和制造的日期。

每一个兵马俑的样子都不一样，千人千面，我觉得以前的古人真的是太厉害了。我还买了好几个兵马俑的纪念品带回家。

从兵马俑回到市里已经天黑了，吃完饭我们去了大唐不夜城，那里的夜景好漂亮啊！人很多，特别热闹，还有很多卖小吃和小玩意儿的，我第一次看到了炒酸奶的制作过程。

第三天，也是我们行程的最后一天，爸爸妈妈带我去看了钟楼，鼓楼，西安城墙，还有民俗风情街-回民街。

西安是一座非常有历史意义的古城，这次还有很多地方没有去，以后我还要来，多了解中国的历史，多看看咱们中国的大好河山，名胜古迹。

暑假里，妈妈带着我去西安、华山旅游，是随教我书法的黄埔书苑的张老师一起去的，团里有大大小小14个小朋友，一路上很热闹。我们是第一次坐卧铺火车，而且在火车上过夜，觉得既新鲜又激动，起初我兴奋得睡不着，后来在列车晃晃悠悠的颠簸中，终于迷迷糊糊地睡着了。

旅行的第一站是著名的“五岳”之一——西岳华山，它有东、西、南、北、中五座峰。导游告诉我们：自古华山一条路，华山以险峻闻名天下。我们先坐缆车到达北峰，从那里向上爬，向西峰进军。山路有点陡峭，我身轻如燕，爬得很轻松，妈妈可就不行了，她一路气喘吁吁的。可惜导游给的时间太短，我们来不及爬到西峰顶，爬了一半就匆匆下山了。

第二天我们到达西安市区，接下来的几天时光，陆续游览了秦陵兵马俑、乾陵、华清池、大唐芙蓉园、法门寺、碑林博物馆、钟鼓楼广场、大雁塔广场……天气炎热，我经常被晒得汗流浃背，可沿途的景观让我大开眼界。秦陵是秦朝皇帝秦始皇的墓，乾陵是唐朝武则天和她的丈夫唐高宗李治的合葬墓，武则天可是中国历史上唯一的一位女皇帝啊，好厉害！这两座陵墓至今都没有被挖掘，兵马俑只不过是秦陵的冰山一角，被称为“世界第八大奇迹”。好期待它们有朝一日从深藏的地底下被挖出土，不知会有多少文物宝藏啊。

令我最难忘的，是张老师在碑林博物馆里给我们讲解石碑书法，那些石碑是历朝历代的书法名家真迹，其中颜勤礼碑正是我们学习颜体字的根源，张老师让我们一齐给祖师爷叩拜；最开心的是在钟鼓楼广场上，与几个小伙伴一起放飞“飞天仙子”，听导游介绍，钟鼓楼广场是西安市的中心，也是全国的中心；最美味的，是在回民一条街上吃陕西的各式特色小吃，回民一条街上人来人往，熙熙攘攘，我爱吃BiangBiang面和炒酸奶，现在回想起来还滋味无穷；最遗憾的是没能参观成陕西省历史博物馆，陕博是全国最著名的博物馆，馆藏非常丰富，但因为门口排队等候的游客太多了，博物馆停止售票，我们只好依依不舍地离开了；收获最大的是在火车上我与小朋友们学会了打扑克牌，什么“斗地主”、“抽乌龟”、“跑得快”，玩得不亦乐乎。

六天五夜的西安、华山之旅结束了，回到家里，在妈妈的帮助下，我描绘出了西安旅游景点分布图。张老师常对我们说：要读万卷书行万里路。我希望今后的假期里，继续游览祖国各地的大好河山！

Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong, in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the worlds largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9,999 buildings. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate, to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide.

Construction of the palace complex began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. Stone needed was quarried from Fangshan, a suburb of Beijing. It was said a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to slide huge stones on ice into the city. Huge amounts of timber and other materials were freighted from faraway provinces. Ancient Chinese people displayed their very considerable skills in building the Forbidden City. Take the grand red city wall for example. It has an 8.6 meters wide base reducing to 6.66 meters wide at the top. The angular shape of the wall totally frustrates attempts to climb it. The bricks were made from white lime and glutinous rice while the cement is made from glutinous rice and egg whites. These incredible materials make the wall extraordinarily strong.

Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However, there is one exception. Wenyuange, the royal library, has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire.

Nowadays, the Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders, the grand and deluxe halls, with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians".
