New Zealand is an island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean and lies more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) southeast of Australia, its nearest neighbor. New Zealand has a lot of tourist attractions.
The Bay of Islands is a harbor in the far north of New Zealand which has 144 small islands in it. It is a popular destination for sailing, fishing, and tourism.
The haka is a ceremonial dance performed by New Zealand's native people, the Maori. There are different kinds of haka, of which the most famous haka is a war dance. This haka is famously performed by the New Zealand national rugby team.
The kiwi bird is a nearly blind, flightless bird native to New Zealand which usually comes out only at night. Unlike any other bird, its nostrils are at the end of its long beak. This allows it to easily locate food such as insects. As an icon of New Zealand, the kiwi is considered by many to be the national bird, and informally people from New Zealand are nicknamed “Kiwis”.
A geyser is a natural hot spring where the water periodically and forcefully jets out of the ground, often high into the air.
A sulphuric pool, high in sulphur(硫磺), have also been
said to assist in the easing of pains from arthritis (关节炎) and general aches and pains.
The manuka honey is expensive and tasty. It comes from bees that feed on New Zealand's manuka trees or bush. It’s antibacterial and good for health. It has been used for its healing properties for centuries.
There are a lot of sheep in New Zealand. There are in fact an estimated 20 sheep to every person (over 44 million sheep). Sheep farming is a huge industry in New Zealand. Sheep are bred for meat and wool.
It is a sport in which a person jumps from a high place, such as a bridge or a cliff, with a bungee tied to their feet. The world's first commercial bungee jumping site is at
Kawarau Bridge of Queenstown. New Zealand has now become a center for adventure sports tourism, and people still travel from around the world to bungee jump at Kawarau Gorge.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to Beijing, which is a leading cultural, economic and historical center in China. Some of its attractions include the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and of course the Great Wall. Beijing is celebrated around the world for the Peking Opera and one of China’s most iconic foods, Peking duck. It features many old neighborhoods, called hutongs, where you can see how people have lived for hundreds of years. Of course, you can also enjoy modern architecture, such as the “Birds Nest”. All in all, if you can only visit one place in China, Beijing is the place to go.
