Travelling in Yunnan: Charlotte McGarry, China – March 2017
在云南旅游 中国大学的学期跟在欧美的安排得不一样。在我国学年被分成到两个学期,一月底的时候有最主要的长假期。在北大,我们的假期长达六个星期!我要趁着这个机会离开北京去看看中国的南方云南省。 云南是中国一些最精彩最美丽的地方比如桂林的喀斯特地貌类型 ,龙脊和元阳的梯田,大理和丽江的古城和常常俗称 ’中国的泰国’ 西双版纳。说到在中国旅游,不少人就会想起来云南风景如画的环境。 我跟两个同学参观了所有的上述的地方。中国地理的多元化对我产生了深刻印象:山,水,热带雨林中国都有!提到’山’,我们爬过很多!我最喜欢的是兴坪的老寨山。山很陡,攀爬很费力,但山顶上一望无际的风景真是独一无二的。 幸亏在中国去旅游不贵,尤其饭费和房费。跟欧美比起来中国旅费也相当便宜但是因为我们上了好多火车公共汽车甚至飞机,旅费是花销的大头儿。 总而言之我们在云南的旅程真是个很宝贵的经验, 但是我要坦白地说:返校的时候到了的那时,我并不难过。这么长时间去旅行很精彩但也会让人精疲力竭!
