A. Basic Level

Tourists, both from China and abroad, explore the serene 乡村 (countryside | xiāngcūn) and vibrant 海滨 (seaside | hǎibīn) areas. In a lush 自然保护区 (nature reserve | zìrán bǎohùqū), groups eagerly 徒步 (hike | túbù) along scenic 路径 (paths | lùjìng), their cameras ready for 摄影 (photography | shèyǐng) and 观鸟 (birdwatching | guānniǎo).

Adventurers eagerly 登山 (mountain climb | dēngshān) and 野营 (camp | yěyíng) near crystal-clear 山 (mountains | shān) and 湖 (lakes | hú). Meanwhile, families enjoy 乘船 (boating | chéngchuán) along the coastline, their laughter echoing over the waves.

In these remote areas, the tourists find a blend of tranquility and adventure, their 导游图 (tourist maps | dǎoyóu tú) guiding them through China’s natural wonders.
