Our grasslands, forests and fields are all green. That’s my favourite colour. It means hope because it is the colour of life. But green is not just the colour of nature now. Trains are running through the plateau. They are this beautiful colour, too.

Have you ever tried gathering together with some friends and take a walk through the streets aimlessly (无目的地) This is what many young people in China recently enjoy doing when they visit a new city, which is called “citywalk”. Citywalk means “hanging around the city” on foot.
Citywalk offers people a way to interact with a city. They can explore old buildings or boutique shops in the city or enjoy a cup of coffee or some local snacks on the street. It also gives them a chance to meet new people. It can be a guided trip for a small group of people or simply a relaxing walk for one or two. They follow one rule: avoid famous scenic spots and big crowds.
In China, the citywalk has become a hit and spread from Beijing and Shanghai to smaller cities. Xiao Yiyi is a young woman living in Changsha. She is exploring new possibilities in the tourism industry. She has started six city walk routes (路线) in different cities. Her Changsha route includes more special sights, such as historical buildings from the 19th century and old streets. They even stop to taste the local spicy crayfish (小龙虾) along the way. Beijing and Shanghai have included citywalks in their plans to help develop cultural tourism. Shanghai has even started to create city-walk routes and is trying to help tourists reach farther places by public transport.
Zhang Zhi is a tour guide from Beijing. He says that many tour guides are also increasing their online influence by sharing their citywalk experiences to attract more customers. At present, the idea of a citywalk is new to most Chinese people. However, people working in the tourist industry believe it has a bright future.
31. Which of the following activities can be called a citywalk
A. Taking a bus tour in Changsha.
B. Knocking around the streets of Chengdu.
C. Having fun in Disneyland in Shanghai.
D. Going cycling in the Beihai Park in Beijing.
