Beyond the Postcard: Rethinking Travel
The Taj Mahal. The Pyramids. The Colosseum. These iconic attractions draw millions, their images defining our dreams of travel. Yet, the experience is changing. Over-tourism strains these fragile sites, leading to crowding, long queues, and environmental stress.
In response, a new philosophy is gaining ground. Sustainable tourism encourages visitors to look beyond the most famous landmark. It promotes exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations – a lesser-known temple, a local market, a village festival. This spreads economic benefits more widely and offers a more authentic encounter with local culture.
Technology also plays a role. Virtual reality tours allow people to marvel at the intricate carvings of a remote cathedral or walk through a historical district without leaving home, reducing physical pressure on the sites themselves. Meanwhile, audio guides and apps provide deeper insights for those who do visit, enriching understanding beyond a simple photo.
Ultimately, being a responsible traveler means respecting visitor etiquette, supporting conservation through admission fees, and remembering that the true attraction lies not just in seeing a place, but in understanding and preserving its story for the future.

A. The most famous iconic attractions.
B. Places that are not crowded with tourists.

A. By building more hotels near attractions.
B. By allowing virtual visits and providing richer information.
C. By making tickets more expensive.
D. By replacing all physical travel.
4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to be a responsible traveler
A. Following local rules and customs.
B. Paying entrance fees that support maintenance.
C. Buying many souvenirs for friends.
D. Seeking a deeper understanding of the place.
5. What is the author's main purpose in writing this article

Dear Mike,
I'm thrilled about your trip! Besides the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army, I highly recommend the Forbidden City in Beijing.
As a cultural heritage site, it was the imperial palace for centuries. Walking through its grand halls and courtyards, you feel the grandeur of ancient China. The intricate architecture and artifacts are amazing. Nearby, you can try authentic Beijing roast duck, a must-try local cuisine.
My advice: Book tickets online in advance to avoid long queues. Consider a guided tour for deeper insights. Early morning visits are less crowded.
Have a wonderful journey!
Best regards,
Li Hua

Beyond the Postcard: Rethinking Travel
The Taj Mahal. The Pyramids. The Colosseum. These iconic attractions draw millions, their images defining our dreams of travel. Yet, the experience is changing. Over-tourism strains these fragile sites, leading to crowding, long queues, and environmental stress.
In response, a new philosophy is gaining ground. Sustainable tourism encourages visitors to look beyond the most famous landmark. It promotes exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations – a lesser-known temple, a local market, a village festival. This spreads economic benefits more widely and offers a more authentic encounter with local culture.
Technology also plays a role. Virtual reality tours allow people to marvel at the intricate carvings of a remote cathedral or walk through a historical district without leaving home, reducing physical pressure on the sites themselves. Meanwhile, audio guides and apps provide deeper insights for those who do visit, enriching understanding beyond a simple photo.
Ultimately, being a responsible traveler means respecting visitor etiquette, supporting conservation through admission fees, and remembering that the true attraction lies not just in seeing a place, but in understanding and preserving its story for the future.

A. They are too expensive to visit.

A. The most famous iconic attractions.

Dear Mike,
I'm thrilled about your trip! Besides the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army, I highly recommend the Forbidden City in Beijing.
As a cultural heritage site, it was the imperial palace for centuries. Walking through its grand halls and courtyards, you feel the grandeur of ancient China. The intricate architecture and artifacts are amazing. Nearby, you can try authentic Beijing roast duck, a must-try local cuisine.
My advice: Book tickets online in advance to avoid long queues. Consider a guided tour for deeper insights. Early morning visits are less crowded.
Have a wonderful journey!
Best regards,
Li Hua
