Unit 3 Diverse Cultures Reading for writing Describe a place with distinctive cultural identity distinctive adj. (特征/性格/外表) 独特的, 特别的, 与众不同的) Welcome to Chinatown Background Knowledge 19世纪末时，中国移民像“卖猪仔”似的被运来加州修筑太平洋铁路和淘金，对当地的经济建设贡献厥伟，但他们却与义裔移民、黑人、穷白人、水手一块儿被当时的政府视为“次等公民”，并规定他们居住在特定区域内以免“污染”其它地方。他们只好在以都板街(Grant Ave.)为中心的小范围内活动，后来这里又迁入了新的移民，发展至今，便成了眼前的“唐人街”，也是亚洲之外最大的华人社区。 旧金山的唐人街是海外最具中国传统风格的唐人街，最有特色的唐人街。唐人街长宽约1公里，共占16条街口，入口在格兰特街和布斯特街交会处，大门是一座中式牌楼，绿瓦盖顶，上书孙中山的“天下为公”4个大字。穿过牌楼，走进唐人街，你会发现这里的建筑、布置与电影中上世纪80年代的香港非常相像，充耳所闻的大多是粤语，会感觉非常亲切。 New Year's Parade 新年巡游 1.

Lijiang is an ancient city high up in the mountains of  Yunnan, near the borders of Sichuan and Tibet. It was an  important stop on the Ancient tea and Horse Road, which  connected central China with Myanmar and India, transporting not just tea but also silk and other goods.  Lijiang’s Old Town, with a history of over 800 years, is a   UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, Lijiang is mostly known for its ethnic minority  culture, especially the culture of the Naxi ethnic group. The Naxi are famous for their Dongba culture.  They have their  own unique written language that uses pictures and symbols. They also create beautiful arts and crafts, and are well  known for their singing and dancing. Strolling around the Old Town, one can witness Naxi life much as it was hundreds of years ago.  One can also try traditional Naxi food, including the air-dried pork liver, Naxi baba (a kind  of flat bread), and Naxi hot pot. But if you really want to see Naxi traditional culture, it is best to visit during the  Torch Festival, which usually occurs in the summer.  During the festival, the streets are full of torches, bonfires,  and lots of people singing and dancing. While the main ethnic group living in the area is the Naxi, there are also at least 19 other ethnic groups, including Yi, Lisu, Bai, Tibetan, and Pumi. It is easy to  arrange a short homestay with an ethnic minority family to  learn more about their way of life. Just outside the city, there are beautiful mountains, meadows, lakes, rivers, and gorges, offering plenty of  opportunities to go hiking, kayaking, or rafting. Like much of Yunnan, the weather is always fairly mild in Lijiang, so  visit throughout the year. Lijiang can be easily reached by airplane or train, and  visitors can hire bikes or cars to explore the area. It is the perfect place for tourists to experience the colourful  culture of China’s ethnic minorities.
