We choose places with playgrounds and fun activities for kids. We can relax and needn't worry about too many people or long waiting lines. Just being together with family at hotels can make our holidays delightful,” said Wang. More people are choosing “lying-flat” travel as a way to get away from busy routines and find inner(内心的)peace. However, this doesn't mean they will stop exploring famous places. They are still open to other travel ideas. “Travel isn't just about visiting many places.

A Change of Travel Focus: From Cities to Hotels D. A New Way of Travel: From Rushing to Relaxing C As is known to all, chores(家务) are very important for children.

On the first tour, we set off from a small town to go through the forest's wetlands(湿地).We met a group of six visitors in the town. Together with them, we made our way in a small boat, dreaming of seeing the anaconda—a kind of big snake! Our second tour led us deeper into the rainforest by boat, jeep and on foot. Both of our guides had lived in the Amazon Rainforest since they were born and they knew clearly about the rainforest. As we slept in a small wooden house with water around, crocodiles(鳄鱼) would swim around us. There weren't any walking paths deep in the forest, so we were glad to have guides leading us! We also got a chance to visit a tribe(部落). It was surprising how the local(当地的) people lived off the land. We saw them make traditional baskets for carrying fruit and met the children from a local school. So much wildlife! The Amazon Rainforest is full of different animals. We also went fishing for the piranha, the Amazon's terrible sharp-toothed fish!
