You can buy lots of things during a livestream（直播）, such as food and clothes, and now even a ticket to space.
On October 24, Deep Blue Aerospace, a Chinese space company（公司）, sold two space travel tickets in a live stream. This was the first time that space tickets were sold in China. The tickets were priced at 1.5 million（百万） yuan each. But during the live stream, they were sold for 1 million yuan each.
The space trip will last about 12 minutes. According to the company, passengers will sit in a spacecraft（航天器） that is about 4 meters tall and 3.5 meters wide, with six big windows and space for six people. The spacecraft will go 100 kilometers above Earth. Travelers will experience weightlessness（失重） for at least five minutes and see Earth from above before coming back down safely.
Passengers must be between 18 and 60 years old. They need to be healthy. They also have to take some security training before the trip.
“The trip will use the company’s Nebula-1 rocket. It runs on oxygen and kerosene（煤油） and can be reused. This makes the launch（发射） cheaper. As this technology gets better, space tickets might become less expensive,” said Huo Liang, CEO of Deep Blue Aerospace.
The company plans to do lots of tests in 2026 to make sure the space trip is safe. They hope to begin the trip in 2027.

There are many beautiful cities in China, but the most beautiful one in my eyes is Beijing.
Beijing attracts many visitors from around the world every year. It is famous for its ancient buildings and has over 3,000 years of history. At the same time it is also a modern city with many tall buildings and wide streets.
There are many things I can do in Beijing. Firstly, I usually visit different museums on weekends. If I have a whole day off, I often invite several friends to go hiking with me. Standing on top of a mountain, I can enjoy the beautiful sights and breathe in the fresh air. Taking a walk or riding bikes in the old hutong is also a good choice. They are great ways to experience the local life.
Beijing is not only a beautiful city but also holds my dearest memories. I love this city so much.
