Tang Dynasty Imperial Mausoleums
Built atop high mountains, the imperial mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) are known for their magnificence. They are scattered around Chang’an City, the Tang imperial capital, which is known as Xi’an today. The mausoleums, the ancient city and palace complex together are regarded as China’s highest-ranking and most important cultural sites of the dynasty.
Guarded by majestic statues of clan leaders, generals and mighty stone beasts, the mausoleums tucked in the lush mountains have served as historical witnesses to the achievements and failures of the Tang emperors and shed light on the prosperity and decline of the dynasty.

China’s Antelope Canyon
Type “antelope canyon” in most search engines and you’ll find information about northern Arizona in the United States. However, the Ganquan Yucha Canyon in Ganquan County, China’s northwestern Shaanxi Province, has also earned the fame for its wild and mysterious geological beauty. Although it is not as large as its Arizona counterpart, spectacular sights are just as abundant. Wind and rain over millions of years sculpted the red sandstone into various textures and shapes. It is a fantastic natural wonder on China’s Loess Plateau.

Appearance Anxiety
Human pursuit of the best appearance has continued unabated since ancient times. Long before the emergence of the beauty industry and cosmetic surgical procedures, many made the greatest efforts to look good.
Social media and the internet have gradually unified standards of beauty, which could be a dangerous trend if more and more people try to look better, resulting in mental and physical trauma. People get anxious if they don’t meet the standards of what they want to be, and for some, what they achieve is never enough. This behavior is obviously pathological. A good appearance is important, but understanding what really looks good matters more.

One-night Utopia
Over the past two years, many outdoor camping sites have sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain. Camping has become a new activity to escape the busy city life and enjoy one night of utopia.
The outbreak of COVID-19 dealt a heavy blow to traditional tourism in 2020. The World Tourism Organization estimated that planned travel declined by more than 90 percent in global cities. However, travel restrictions have in turn fueled people’s desire to go out, so new travel modes are needed. Outdoor camping has become a simple and convenient choice for many people grappling with the current restrictions.
