Interest in Bird - watching Has Grown in Shanghai
Curiosity about birds has inspired people to take up bird - watching. Many take it as an opportunity to spend time outdoors and get close to nature. A group of 10 birders joined a beginners’ session at Century Park in Pudong on a recent trip. Led by Zheng Yihui, an avian ecologist, the group that consists mainly of parents with school children walked around the park. Zheng stopped every now and then, pointing at birds on the branches of trees, or swimming in the pond.
Silk Road Culture Glorifies Northwest Mountain
Cheng Yaodong, a part - time tourist guide, has told hundreds of tourists about the history of Xiaoguan Pass in Liupan Mountain. “Tourism helps people better understand Guyuan’s role in the history of the Silk Road and the rich culture it has developed over 2,000 years of interaction with ethnic groups and foreign merchants,” says Cheng. “By popularizing ancient Silk Road culture, we have promoted local tourism and boosted the economy.”
China’s camping market has been growing rapidly as more people turn to short - distance leisure camping. “The year 2020 can be seen as the first year of the camping market, and the market size has begun to explode since this year,” says Zhang Yi, who is in charge of six camping bases. Huzhou became one of the first to officially regulate construction standards and the safety supervision of camping sites. Beijing and Nanjing have also introduced related policies for the healthy development of the industry.

“She might have Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病),” her mother said. “We might have to put her in a nursing home so that she can get proper care.”
“Oh, that’s terrible! She’ll miss her own house!” Sally said.
“Maybe, but we can see her on weekends,” her mother answered. “We can bring her presents.”
“Like ice cream? Grandma loves strawberry ice cream!” Sally said.
The first time they visited Grandma, Sally wanted to cry. Grandma sat all by herself in the corner of the room. Sally hugged Grandma. “Look,” she said, “we brought you strawberry ice cream!” Grandma took it and began to eat without saying a word.
