随着时代的发展和科技的进步,人们旅游出行越来越方便了。但是当你探险旅行时,哪种交通工具才是最佳选择呢
Means of Transport for Adventure Travel
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
There are many diffe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rent means of transport to get around, yet most people take the airplane to reach their long distance destinations.But taking the airplane is not the most adventurous way of travelling.It will only bring you to big cities or the most popular places, skipping the interesting countryside.And it will not bring you into contact with the locals,who are not using airplanes to get around.
Adventure travel incl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )udes finding your way around by public transport.A disadvantage may be that it takes more time to get around, but on the other hand it is a great way to meet the local people, and that s also what travelling is about, right
In general, there are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) two types of public transport systems: the systems that take you from destination to destination, and the local systems that help you get around.To travel from one destination to another, most people prefer to travel by train.Trains are comfortable, without sudden movements, and mostly you can move around in them.In some countries, however, there are few or no railways.To travel between destinations there, you will have to take the bus.
To get around ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) within a city or a region, you need to depend on local transport.However, in every continent, every country, and even in every city, the local public transport systems are different.When travelling in the big cities, for example, in Europe, you are advised to learn the specific details of the local subway or bus system of each city.
Apart from using pu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )blic transport, there are other means of travelling, for example, travelling by bicycle.It is slow, but if you have more time, it is the best way to experience the country and the region you are travelling in.

Tourists could soon be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) eating delicious food designed by famous cooks while orbiting(绕轨道而行) the earth in a space hotel if plants by a Russian firm go ahead.
Moscow-based Orbit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al Technologies yesterday said it hoped to fill in the space tourism(旅游业) market by building a space hotel and check the first guests into its space hotel by 2016.Guests will sleep on pull-out beds and enjoy a window on the world.The company has sky-high hopes that its planned Commercial Space Station can serve as a tourism hub(焦点;中心) for wealthy travellers and offer workspace for science projects.
But it s unlikely t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o come anytime soon—the company wants to launch a seven-room station by 2016.It also remained unclear whether the company would have enough money and be able to carry out the plan.
According to early p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lans, the space hotel could hold up to seven people at a time.All the space tourists who have travelled to the International Station were trained in Prussia and sent into orbit on Russian Soyuz capsules, although their trips were organized by a Virginia-based company.
Canadian Guy Lali ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )berte, who spent 12 days in space in September 2009, was the last space tourist to travel to the station.Russia stopped space tourism this year after the crew size was increased, using the seats in Soyuz that would have been sold to paying travellers.
