Are you looking for a lovely place to spend your vacation? The
Honghe Hani Rice Terraces in Yunnan may be a good choice.
With mountains and clouds, this special landscape looks like a
beautiful Chinese painting. The color of the terraces changes from
green to yellow at different times of the year. In ancient times, the
Hani people developed a watering project. Today, it still helps them
24
bring water from the forests to fields. To make better use of these
water-filled rice fields, farmers raise fish and ducks in them. Near the
terraces, there are many houses with three floors in the villages. The
first floor is for pigs and other animals, the second is a living area and
the top floor is for storing rice.
The lively landscape is really beautiful. How do you like it? Feel free to
leave us any message below!
你是否在寻找一个可爱的度假胜地?云南的红河哈尼梯田可能是个不错的选择。
这里群山环绕,云雾缭绕,独特的景观宛如一幅美丽的中国画卷。梯田的颜色在
一年中的不同时间会从绿色变为黄色。古时候,哈尼族人开发了一项灌溉工程。
如今,它仍帮助人们将水从森林引到农田。为了更好地利用这些灌满水的稻田,
农民们在里面养鱼和鸭。在梯田附近的村庄里,有许多三层楼的房屋。一楼用来
养猪和其他动物,二楼是生活区,顶楼则用于储存稻谷。
这充满生机的景观实在是太美了。你觉得怎么样?欢迎在下方给我们留言!

The Great Wall 长城

When you open a map of China, you are sure to see a line across the
northern China. It’s one of the most amazing wonders of the world.
People call it the Great Wall of China.
For thousands of years, the Great Wall stood there to keep out
“enemies” from the north. Workers in ancient times used earth and
stones to build the wall. To help soldiers quickly send messages, the
ancient people designed some watchtowers on the wall. This shows
the wisdom and hard work of the Chinese people. What’s more, the
wall is also important for trade. It protected trading routes such as
the Silk Road. Today, you can see the Great Wall of China in movies,
books and even on people’s T-shirts. It is not just a place of interest
but also a symbol of the nation.
当你打开中国地图时,肯定会看到一条横贯中国北方的线条。它是世界上最令人
惊叹的奇迹之一。人们称之为中国长城。
数千年来,长城一直矗立在那里,抵御来自北方的“敌人”。古代的工人用泥
土和石头建造了这座城墙。为了帮助士兵快速传递信息,古人在城墙上设计了一
些瞭望塔。这体现了中国人民的智慧和辛勤劳动。此外,长城对贸易也很重要。
它保护了丝绸之路等贸易路线。如今,你可以在电影、书籍中,甚至在人们的T
恤上看到中国长城。它不仅是一处名胜古迹,更是中华民族的象征。
