Chinese writer Wang Zengqi once wrote, "When I arrive in a new place... I prefer to visit the local farmers market to see live chickens and ducks, fresh vegetables and bright fruits. It's lively and brings me a sense of the joy of life."
Nowadays, more people feel the same. They love to explore farmers markets wherever they visit. These traditional markets, once just local shopping places, are attracting visitors during holidays, especially the young. They think visiting a city without walking around farmers markets is a waste of a trip. There they can enjoy delicious food, local culture, and the real nature of a city.
Luo Yan, a travel lover, travels around markets nationwide. In Xi'an, he enjoyed tasty Roujiamo, while in Inner Mongolia, he tasted the famous air-dried beef. Foreign travellers, too, see these markets as interesting windows into Chinese daily life. They talk with sellers though they have language difficulties, and they can't stop trying local snacks. They are touched by the energy of Chinese daily life.
The popularity of farmers markets among visitors shows an important change—from a focus on scenic spots to deeper experiences of local life.

Reading makes a full man. It's important and necessary for everyone to read.
First, reading is very important because it helps us get more knowledge and opens up our minds. It is like a magical key that unlocks different worlds.
I have a good reading habit. I usually read before going to bed in my bedroom. I like reading different kinds of books, such as storybooks and science fiction. My favourite book is The Little Prince. The little prince is kind and brave. The story teaches me to keep a pure heart.
For my reading plan, I want to read one book every month. I will also join the school reading club to share ideas with others. Reading truly enriches my life. I will keep reading and enjoying the beauty of words.
