2、ostumes and heading for the coast. The UK is, after all, an island, and with 12,400 km of coastline to explore. Any visitor to the UK will be spoilt for choice. Here are some of the more famous resorts that you could expect to visit on a rip to Britain Blackpool, in the northwest of England, is the
3、most visited resort in the UK. Each year around 6.5 to 7 million people come to enjoy the mile of sandy beaches, the 158 m Blackpool Tower and the 11 km-long Golden Mile, where there are entertainments, pubs, ice rinks and even a zoo. A firm family favorite, it has also become a popular destination
4、for stag and hen parties. At the other end of the country on the south coast you can find Brighton. Until 1786, Brighton was a sleepy village. Then the future King George IV decided to build a residence there, and over the years Brighton grew into the large, cosmopolitan center it is now. A part fro
5、m the beaches, Brighton is famous for its pier. On the pier there are theaters, entertainments and restaurants. Brighton is also fantastic for shopping. If you fancy traveling a little further, why not go to Cornwell inn the far southwest the UK? South Cornwell offers miles of sandy beaches and beau
6、tiful scenery. The climate here is warmer than the rest of Britain and you can even find plan trees. For a bit more excitement, go to North Cornwell. The scenery here is more dramatic, and the beaches are famous for their powerful waves. As a result, North Cornwell has become the home f British surf
7、ing. One word of warning though, if you are using the roads in the UK on bank holidays or during school holidays, you can expect long traffic jams on the motorways. It might be better to take the train.B:Place Problem(s) Cause(s)Lake District Footpaths becoming trenches Too many walkersSistine Chape

11、 electronic ticket checking system1). Real time record of the number of visitors inside the museum2). Maximum reception capacity The flow of tourists Troubled by excessive visitors, the Palace Museum or Forbidden City in Beijing will adopt an electronic ticket checking system and make the control of
12、 the flow of tourists. The new system will keep a real time record of the number of visitors inside the museum, and inform the ticket office to hold ticket sales once the number exceeds the musuems maximum reception capacity. The Palace Museum, on of the most comprehensive Chinese museums, in terms
13、of history and art, was established on the foundation of the palace that was the ritual center during two dynasties, the Ming and the Qing, and their collection of treasures. It has topped the must-see list of almost every visitor to the capital city. In recent years, the number of daily visitors to
14、 the Palace Museum averaged 50,000 during golden weeks, the week-long national holidays observed three times a year in China. Superfluous tourists have caused damage to cultural relics in the museum.BB1.1. Shananxi Province / China / Changan / the largest / the resting place 2. a group of warring st
15、ates / a nation / toil and labor / historic spots Ni hao, youre listening to People in the Know, your window into the world around you, coming to you from Xian, online at www. Crienglish. Com here on China Radio International. In this edition of our show, were discussing tourism in China in the back
16、drop of one of the cities that relies on tourism for its livelihood, Xian. So lets get started. For anyone whos done a small amount of research on China, one the the must-sees on the list for China is Xian. This city, now the capital Shaanxi Province, was, during the Tang Dynasty, the largest city i
17、n the world and the capital of China, known then as Changan. But Xian also holds the distinction of being the resting place of Chinas first Emperor, the man who unified a group of warring states to create a nation. Qin Shihuang was a man who searched his entire life for the elixir which would allow
18、him to live forever. It was on one of these journeys - ironically - he would live on eternity in safety and comfort. To that end, for 37 years, thousands of Chinese toiled and labored to build what is now one the most remarkable historic spots on the face of the earth. We all know its the home of th
19、e Terracotta Warriors. To that end, we decided it would be prudent while in Xian to talk to tourists at the Terracotta Museum about their thoughts, not only on the Warriors themselves, but on traveling to China as a whole. We sat down recently and had a chat with three tourists visiting Xian to see
20、the famous Terracotta Warriors. B2 Germany Yes Nice, wonderful, proper “Can I get your name, first?” “My name is Barbara.” “ Whats your last name, Barbara?“Oppenheimer.”“from Germany?“from Germany.”“so this is your first time here in China?“Yes, its my first time.”“and so your impression of the warr
21、iors?“it was very nice impression and I am very lucky to be here. I didnt thought (think) it was so nice, really. Ive pictures, photos and the book, and I will show all the people that they will come to China again.” “its wonderful, really. Its very proper. The garden has very good mates: the trees,
22、 flowers and very clean, and I didnt thought it was like this.” “when you tell your friends back home, what sort of directions would you give them if they had a plan to come here to China? What would you recommend?“I think more and more German people are coming here to see. We saw a lot of other lan
23、ds and America and so on. But its really another thing to come here.” “you tell me about. It. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.” “youre welcome.”B3“Can I get your name? “Linda” “Linda, whats your last name, Linda? “Linux” “Linux from Toronto. Your impression of the Terracotta Warriors? “ was inc
24、redible. It was just a sheer number of them, the history. I was really, mostly impressed by the number that have been left untouched until the preservation process can be further researched” “ yeah, you find that it was what you had expected when you came? “yes, I actually teach in Canada. And so I
25、learned about Terracotta Warriors as part of study with Grade Five students of ancient civilizations or early civilizations. And we looked at China. And this is one the things that we studied.” “oh, really? “so Ive seen pictures. Ive seen some video footage and so it was very much what Ive expected.
26、 And it was even more impressive than I expected.” “yeah. What about the actual tour part itself? Did you find that it was a bit maybe too touristy? “Im here with the guide. He did a great job of explaining the history. I like the other signage around, the museum too, the attractive pieces as well.”
27、“ yeah. What about overall. I mean have you had a chance to Xian itself, the actual city and take a look around? “We visited a little bit yesterday, yeah.” “what did you think? “Great! We did a bike ride around the city wall. And that was fabulous. It was nice to be out. And there are so many crowds
28、 in China. It is very different from Canada. So it was nice to be able to move freely around the city wall quickly.”“well, Linda. Thank you a lot for the time. I appreciate it.”“you are very welcome.”B4 “First stuff, can I get your name? “Bill Vineberg”“Vineberg from British Columbia. You are part o
29、f a larger tour. You are here for 3 weeks. Where have you been elsewhere?“Just Beijing so far”“Oh, really? Did you catch all the sights there as well?“well, as many as we could. You know the Great Wall, Tian An Men Square, Forbidden City, you know, Imperial Palace, you know.”“what were your impressi
30、on of Beijing?“Well, the Great Wall really impressed me. That was phenomenal.”“let me ask you about touring around in Beijing. Did you find it diffilcult? Are you with the group?“we are with the group.”“if you wanted to venture out on your own, would you feel comfortable doing that?“not really too c
31、omfortable no, not knowing the language, you know, I wouldnt want to venture too far away.”“yeah. Makes sense I suppose. So why China? I mean, what drew you here?“well, its a part of the world weve seen before, we want to see it before it changes too much. Its got modernized pretty quick. ”“so if you had any recommendations for people back home, what would you tell them about China? How would you tell them to go about doing things here?“I would definitely tell t
