Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.Rather than travel by commercial airline all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train.For both of them, the thought of crossing the whole country by rail was exciting.
Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, seeing the sights.During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained.Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay, and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques.The next day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city.Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away.
The next morning, the two girls arose early to take the train to Lake Louise, passing through the Canadian Rockies.Seen from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive.When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, where the blue water literally took their breath away with its exceptional beauty.They spent the night, and then took a coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper.Looking at the beautiful scenery, they both agreed that it was the most awesome journey they had ever taken.In addition to seeing spectacular mountain peaks and forests, one highlight of their trip was being able to see many different creatures, including deer, mountain goats, and even a grizzly bear and an eagle.
From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto.One of the train's first stops was in Edmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, the centre of Canada's huge oil and gas drilling industry.Edmonton is freezing cold in winter, with daily temperatures averaging －10 ℃.Since it can be too cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to many shopping malls.In fact, one of the largest shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.
From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie.At school, Daiyu and Liu Qian had learnt that Canada's population is only slightly over thirty－seven million.However，they did not anticipate seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed.They went through two wheat－growing provinces, a very large area .
After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg.From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario — a land of forests and lakes.The train thundered on, through the rolling hills.The bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost on the ground, had arrived in Canada .Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto.When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtain, they could see the wide stretch of Lake Huron — one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario's southern border.It was not until 9：30 a．m.that All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration of four days.

As a student of International Relations and Chinese, I have been living in China for the past three years.Xizang was a region I was eager to travel to but its remoteness and my inability to find the right time to go delayed my journey.After a few emails back and forth with my dad in the UK, who doubted my choice, we decided to take a pause in our lives to begin our journey early in the morning of July 3rd.
We started our journey on Saturday morning at the Guangzhou train station.It was a good thing that we had secured a couple of soft seats as we were about to begin the journey.We started the first part of the journey, admiring the mysterious mountains of South China.The next day it changed quite suddenly to the dry landscape of central－west China as we passed through Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.That evening we arrived in Qinghai Province, where we hopped the Xining－Lhasa train.
We were greeted on the train with Tibetan yogurt.The following afternoon we arrived in Lhasa.Later that day, we started our journey to the Qomolangma base camp by road from Lhasa.Along the way we stopped to admire the beautiful and large river, the beautiful clouds and huge freshwater lake that is one of the three largest sacred lakes in Xizang.All the beauty contributed to making a picturesque countryside Xizang.
About a week later, we arrived at the Qomolangma base camp in the afternoon.We were staying in a guesthouse just next to the base camp and then we headed straight outside to see the wonderful Mt Qomolangma.The tip of the mountain could be seen through clouds, astonishing us with its unbelievable height and wonderful scenery.The clouds cleared away and we watched the sunset over the top of the mountain.Each of us was really impressed by Mt Qomolangma's magnificence (壮丽)．

The village of Misfat al－Abriyeen has changed its fortunes by transforming mud－brick homes into fine hotels.The village of 800 people, located on the cliffs of Oman's “Grand Canyon”， opened its narrow streets six years ago to foreigners and locals seeking adventure in the deserts and green corners of the Gulf area.
Villager Yacoub al－Abri said it all started in 2010 when his uncle suggested they take another look at the mud houses that had lain ignored for years in the ancient settlement about three hours' drive from the capital Muscat.The owners had abandoned the centuries－old homes, fearing they could _______, and moved to the opposite side of the village where they built new accommodation.
topple
The brown－walled homes, made of mud bricks with palm－leave roofs, were turned into simple but elegant inns with wood furniture and handcrafts made using skills handed down from their ancestors.“We started with only five rooms, then we increased the number and bought other old houses.Today we have 15 rooms and there are plans to continue expanding until we reach 50，” Abri said.
At an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, the tiny village which is home to the Abri tribe is a charming collection of traditional houses located along dozens of small alleys (小巷) overlooking lands bursting with banana plants and citrus and palm trees.It is part of a region known as the Grand Canyon of Oman where tourists can hike the rocky mountains and valleys, and explore the old ways of local people.The region is also famed for its centuries－old stories that are still widely told in similar villages across the country.
Renoda, a Dutch psychologist living in Muscat, was visiting with three of her friends.“It's perhaps the 10th time that I have visited this hotel since last year.I come here for a night or two every month seeking calm, relaxation and comfort，”she told AFP.
