Car Times Have Come to China
In late April, 33 - year - old Li Yang climbed into her new car, a home - made Suzuki Alto and headed west. She just kept going to see how far she could get by herself. Six days and 2,575 kilometres later, she arrived in Lhasa, Xizang. Happy and tired, she wrote an article and put it on the Internet after she had a good sleep, talking about her travel experience to Lhasa with photos.
As people become richer and richer, new car prices are falling down quickly. And the government builds new ways. Many Chinese people think it is enjoyable to have their own cars instead of bicycles. The large number of cars has started a new cultural revolution (革命), changing the life and society at a rapid speed.
In Shanghai, more and more cars have appeared on the roads since 2002. The roads here are getting busier and busier. At rush hour, a taxi ride from one side of Huangpu River to the other can take more than one hour. Although the government has done a lot to make the traffic condition better and prevent more traffic accidents from happening, the number of the cars on the roads is multiplying(成倍增加).
Private cars have brought about a new group of people, who drive to their offices from large, modern homes in the suburbs(郊区). “I enjoy the drive,” says a big company manager, of the 30 - minute - trip to his office in the centre of Shanghai. “I know the cost of driving is much higher than that of travelling by bus,” he said. “But this way, I feel more comfortable and it is much faster. ”
