Describe a place you’ll travel to when you have a day off. ☆Describe a journey that was longer than expected. /Describe a long-distance journey.
The place that I want to travel is Xiamen city, which is located in Fujian province. This is a fabulous [‘fæbjuləs] seaside city with great views, friendly local people, mild temperature and many other great things.
It only takes you three hour and a half to get there by express train from Guangzhou city.
I’d like to go on a trip to Xiamen on weekend with my best friend— Zi Lung because he was born and grew up there in Xiamen. So who could be a better tour [tuə] guide than him?
Although I’ve never been there before, I’ve heard a lot about this attractive medium [‘mi:djəm]-sized modern city.
Zi Lung told me that there were so many tourist attractions with great scenery[‘si:nəri]. The most popular one must be Gulangyu Island. To reach the island, visitors need to take a ferry first.
And another ‘must-see’ is Zhongshan road, a long and prosperous [‘pr spərəs] commercial street in the downtown area. The street is excellent for window-shopping because there are hundreds and thousands of shops. You can not only buy various products, but also enjoy great local snacks, such as Sacha noodles, fried oyster[‘ istə] and stuff. The best thing is that this is a car-free street. So you won’t be bothered by any traffic noise and the terrible smell of burning gasoline when you walk along this tidy road.
It’d be great if my best friend could spend two days helping me explore this nice coastal [‘kə stl] city, which is famous for its modern city life and better living environment, you know, the cleaner city streets and fresher air.
