At last, I arrived in Chengdu.
My friend Haoyu took me to a restaurant right from the airport.
I just couldn't wait to try Sichuan hot pot!
最后，我到达了成都。
我的朋友浩宇带我去了机场附近的一家餐馆。
我迫不及待地想尝尝四川火锅！
But the first taste made my mouth burn!
The food was muchhotter than I expected.
I took a deep breath and drank a whole glass of iced lemon tea.
但第一口就让我的嘴烧了！
食物比我想象的要丰盛得多。
我深吸一口气，喝了一整杯冰柠檬茶。
“Do you want something less hot " Haoyu said.
“No," I replied. “When in China, do as the Chinese do!"
I carefully took a small mouthful.
浩宇说：“你要少点热的吗？”。
“不，”我回答。
“在中国的时候，像中国人一样做！”
我小心翼翼地吃了一小口。
Surprisingly, I started to enjoy the taste.
And cooking hot pot was just as fun as eating it!
After lunch, things went fromreally hot to totally cool – we went to the new Sanxingdui Museum!
令人惊讶的是，我开始喜欢它的味道。
烹饪火锅和吃火锅一样有趣！
午饭后，天气从酷热转为凉爽——我们去了三星堆新博物馆！
The masks were fantastic.
“Why are their eyes and ears much bigger than normal ones Were ancient Shu people able to see and hear further than us ” I wondered.
I wanted to stay in the museum for a week!
面具太棒了。
“为什么他们的眼睛和耳朵比正常人大得多？蜀人能比我们看得更远、听得更远吗？”
我想知道。我想在博物馆呆一个星期！
My first day in China was full of fun:
I tried new food and went to an exciting place.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of my trip around China!

In 1640, a man was seriously ill.
He had to end the last trip of his life.
1640年，一名男子病重。
他不得不结束他生命中的最后一次旅行。
Back home, people asked him,
“You spent your whole life onthe road.
Do you regret it ”
“I walked through many fantastic places in China," he replied.
“People say I'm as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang.
So I have no regrets at all."
This man was Xu Xiake, the greatest traveller in Chinese history.
From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China's seas and mountains.
But at the time, it was very difficult to travel far.
This didn't stop him, however.
At 22, he set out on his life's journey.
He travelled for about 30 years, and achieved his dream.
Xu made many geographical discoveries during his journey.
Once, he visited Mount Huangshan.
People then thought Tiandu Peak was higher than Lianhua Peak.
To find out the truth, Xu climbed both peaks.
He discovered that LianhuaPeak gave a wider view, so it must be higher.
He was right!
Xu recorded his travel experiences in his diary.
This later became Xu Xiake's Travel Notes.
Thanks to this book, we can learn about China almost 400 years ago.
“Exploring the unexplored" is the best description of Xu's life.
