The places I want to visit....

I just have three vacations left during my university time. Perhaps I have no enough time after graduation, so I wish I can use the three vacations well to go to travel.
Let me show some places where I want to visit in China. I live in the north of China, but I prefer to go to the south. Trees, rivers, moist air, mountains, architectural style....all of them are my favorite. I think the north and the west is bold and unconstrained, and the south is graceful and restrained.


Li Jiang of Yunnan province (southwest of China)

This is Old Town of Lijiang, with a history of 1,300 years, home to the ancient Dongba culture and a major scenic area in China. It is famous for its orderly system of waterways and bridges. It was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December 4, 1997.

Da Li city of Yuman province




The Three Pagodas are made of brick and covered with white mud. As its name implies, the Three Pagodas comprise three independent pagodas forming a symmetric triangle. The elegant, balanced and stately style is unique in China’s ancient Buddhist architectures, which makes it a must-see in the tour of Dali.
The Three Pagodas was initially built for auspicious reasons.

Dun Huang Mogao caves of Gansu province (northwest of China)



The Mogao Caves, form a system of 492 temples 25 km (15.5 miles) southeast of the center of Dunhuang, an oasis strategically located at a religious and cultural crossroads on the Silk Road, in Gansu province, China. The caves contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art spanning a period of 1,000 years.Construction of the Buddhist cave shrines began in 366 AD as places to store scriptures and art.


Crescent Lake (Yueyaquan). Just only on the left, plants can grow.



I would like to experience the sad but stirring desert.

the Potala Palace of Tibet Autonomous Region (southwest of China)



A prayer wheel is a cylindrical 'wheel' (Tibetan: 'khor) on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather, or even coarse cotton. It is said that prayer wheels are used to accumulate wisdom and merit or good karma and to purify negativities such as bad karma.
I want to touch them, to feel them.



Early in December 1994, Tibet's Potala Palace in Lhasa has been included in the "World Heritage List."

Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet Day Mabu northwest mountains, is the famous castle-style buildings, ancient Tibetan architectural art is all about.

The West Lake of Hangzhou city in Zhejiang provice (southern coast of China)















































West Lake is not only famous for its picturesque landscape, it is also associated with many scholars, national heroes and revolutionary martyrs, thus embracing many aspects of Chinese culture. In addition, many ancient buildings, stone caves and engraved tablets in surrounding areas are among the most cherished national treasures of China, with significant artistic value.

Zhou Zhuang  Village  of Jingsu province (southern coast of China)


Zhouzhuang is a popular tourist destination. It is one of the most famous water townships in China, noted for its profound cultural background, the well preserved ancient residential houses, the elegant watery views and the strong local colored traditions and customs. It has been called the "Venice of the East".

 Hainan Island (Hainan province, south of China)

















As Hainan Island is not heavily industrialised, its greenery, together with its beautiful beaches and clean air, make it a popular tourist attraction.


The Person Who I Amire

           The person who I adire is our Premier Minister Wen jiabao. "All thinking of people, all for the people" . This was what he said and he did so. He has been dubbed "the people's premier" by both domestic and foreign media.
           He is a responsible premier. When we suffered from the Snow Disasters at the beginning of 2008,he had gone to the disaster-hit area three times within eight days. That is his duty. When the earthquake struck Sichuan at 2:28 pm ,12th on May, he returned back to the government administration of the nation of Beijing from another province. At 4:40 pm, the plane took Wen jiabao to fly to the Sichuan province from Beijing. At 7:10 pm, Wen jiabao arrived to the place of earthquake that happened. When I saw the figures from the media, I was moved and shocked. That is what a premier minister should do! When the aftershocks continued to occur, he was still standing in the rain with the rescue team and the victims. Once he hurt his arms, he refused the doctor. At this critical moment, he has forgotten the pain. On his way to another place that the earthquake happened, he made way immediately for a serious injuried girl who was taking head-on towards him.He is nearly 70 years old, is there anyone willing to see a person who like a father stood in areas aftershocks continued to occur? He is the true son of the People's Republic of China, and he should be admired.
            He is poet premier. He often adduces some ancient Chinese poetries and dictums to express his opinions, feelings, responsbilities, and the situation of China..... He has been reading books in his life, and also recommends many excellent books to young people. He teaches us to be a person that read books.His profound literary accomplishment makes me admire.
            He wrote back a farmer to congradulate he have a good harvest, to encourage a boy who was burnt seriously by a fire accident to stand up again and send contributions, to encourage a vonluteer of Olympic Games of Beijing to service for republic, to express sympathy and solicitude to the students who are injured by the earthquake.......
            He is a prime minister that dare to admit his mistake. He is a geologist and engineer by profession and holds a postgraduate degree from the Beijing Institute of Geology. One day, he went to a middle school to see the teachers and students. After he listened to the class, he wrote a artile about some feeling and opinions about the education to the media. He made a small mistakes about a knowledge. When he received a teacher's letter about his mistakes. He noticed the publish immediately to correct to the mistake, then wrote a letter to the media and public to apologize. He is earnest and serious, he should be admired.
            This is our prime minister, although I just list a few things, he still should be admired. He is a real "the people's primer" as the past premier Zhou enlai, both of them will  be enshrined in the heart of Chinese public forever.

About My Hobby


        
        If it is possible, I hope I can have a very big room to collect books, arrange four big antique shelves to every piece of wall, and every shelf is filled with all kind of books. Then I can read them at any time and any where.o(≧v≦)o~~ I do not know collecting books can be a hobby or not. Now I am not ability to buy books by myself, so I have to download some e-books. I have collectd so many books in mu notebook, such as, autobiography, novel, essay......One of life goals is reading most books all over the world, until the end of my life. \(^o^)/
       
       If I can have a big enough room to collect books, I will do my best to fill in the bookcases.
       I am ver lazy, I do not like shopping, taking exercise,but I like to go travelling. Carrying a big bag alone or with several close friends, is my ideal travl style.
       I find I do not have any special hobby, perhaps it depends on my character.
      

         A cup of hot tea, a book, a drop of sunshine, and a soft sofa, this is my favorite. I would like to enjoy simple life.\(^o^)/~
