In summer, pink and violet flowers lend splashes of colour.

The magnificent Shennong Peak rises to 3,105 metres above sea level.
Banbiyan is famous for its stone forest, as well as its bamboo forests and grasslands that flood with flowers.

Data, examples and comparisons are then used to support the main ideas. Both verbal and visual information is used in order to maintain the audience's interest. The end of a lecture is often followed by a short question-and-answer session.
