高胜美缘英语作文2-My Travel Experience

My Travel Experience

China

is

massive,

so

in

spite

of

how

dramatically

tourist

arrivals

have

been

spiking the past several years, it’s understandable why so many tours of the country

stick to the well trodden

path: Beijing, Shanghai, and maybe, just maybe, Xi’an!

But I believe you should venture southwestward on your next trip to the Middle

Kingdom, and pandas are only one reason why.

To be sure, while Chengdu first earned its place on tourism maps as home to the

cutest

members

of

the

Ursidae

family,

its

appeal

extends

far

beyond

them.

Think

deliciously

spicy

cuisine,

an

eclectic

cityscape,

and

a

huge

variety

of

destinations

within

day-trip

distance.

Plus,

I

found

Chengdu

astonishingly

laid-back,

which

is

probably

an

adjective

you

never

expected

to

hear

in

conjunction

with

the

phrase

“Chinese city of 14 million.”

Chengdu

feels

immediately

different

from

more

ubiquitous

Chinese

cities

like

Beijing and Shanghai, in spite of the constant haze in the air, and the slim likelihood

of finding someone outside of your hotel who speaks fluent English. Here, there’s a

relaxed

skip

in

people’s

step,

and

in

spite

of

the

rapidly

increasing

number

of

tall

buildings, the rustling of gingko leaves seems to capture your attention more than any

combination of steel and stone.

If

you

want

to

step

back

in

time,

for

example,

head

just

northward

from

Chengdu’s central Tianfu Square to Wenshu Monastery, the best

-preserved one in the

city

that’s

also

remarkably

well

-hidden

within

a

residential

neighborhood.

Further

north,

Tianfu

Square

is

slightly

less

well-

known,

and

sits

adjacent

to

lush

People’s

Park, whose modern design dates back to the beginning of the Communist period, but

whose origins date back to the days of the Qing Dynasty.

Pandas are native to Sichuan province (which surrounds Chengdu) and have long

been the city’s most famous attraction, not to mention its cutest. The best place to see

pandas near Chengdu is Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, not only

because it is

a short journey from the city center, but because it’s a scientific research

facility

purpose-built

to

help

ensure

the

future

survival

of

pandas.

By

the

way,

watching pandas is the most attractive and valuable part of the tour.

中国是一个巨大的城市，

所以尽管过去几年游客人数大幅度 增加，

但为什么

这么多的国家旅游坚持走的路径是可以理解的：

北京，

上海，

也许，

也许，

西安！

但我相信你应该在下次中国之行中向西南方向冒险，

大熊猫只是 其中一个原

因。
