The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.

    Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides

    Is this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.

    Open April — September, from ￡5 per tent per night.

    Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk

    Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.

Open Easter — October, from ￡10 per tent per night.

    Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall

    This site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse（凉亭）with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.

    Open Easter — September, from ￡10 per tent per night.

    Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily

    Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage — so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.

Open March October, from ￡7. 50 per tent per night,

      Sydney has a huge bus system. No buses accept cash, and a ticket needs to be bought ahead of time. The buses often run at busy hours and regularly during the day. The Sydney Explorer bus provides air-­conditioned service and stops at 27 tourist attractions. Its partner, the Bondi Explorer, stops at 19 attractions. Tickets allow holders to jump on and off as they please, and they can be used for one or two days. Itˈs an easy way to see the city and the surroundings.

         Sydneyˈs train service runs throughout the central city area and the surroundings. Tickets can be bought from machines that operate 24 hours a day or from ticket offices. The monorail(单轨火车)travels through central Sydney. It is the most excellent way to gain a good view of the whole city. The monorail runs every three to five minutes, and it takes 15 minutes to complete its journey.

         Sydney is built around a harbor, and the Parramatta River has a large ferry(渡船)system.

        It serves the area around the harbor. These include Taronga Zoo, Darling Harbor, Rose Bay, the North Shore, Cockatoo Island and Sydney Olympic Park. The ferries have operated for more than 135 years and 14 million passengers take the ferries each year.

         Water taxis can offer special services that some visitors enjoy, such as transporting passengers to specific locations, offering guided tours of waterways and so on. The tickets sell for 20 Australian dollars for a day or 57 Australian dollars for a week. It is strange，isn’t it?

Washington Sightseeing Guide

   White House-Public tours of the White House have been offered since Thomas Jefferson

was president, but you can't just drop in. Visits to the White House are in high demand, and

you must make your request through your member of Congress（国会）up to six months, and

no fewer than 21 days, before your visit. Be sure to check the White House tour-info Web site

to make sure about the personal identification you'll need. And before the day of your visit,

call 202-456-7041 to confirm the tour schedule.

   Lincoln's Cottage-Lincoln's Cottage, the hilltop home where President Lincoln lived during part of the Civil War, is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors' recordings that reveal Lincoln's thoughts on slavery and the war. "In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been," says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. "We haven't re-created the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves. "

   Library of Congress-The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, it's probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas you'd really like to explore (i. e. when your feet start to hurt, you won't feel so bad about not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing-murals(壁画) , sculptures, performances-elsewhere in the complex.

World's Best Urban (城市的) Beaches

  The strip of South Beach has become a place for showing off glamor (魅力) and style; no doubt it is one of the world's most-favorite urban beaches. South Beach has the perfect mix of scenery that ranges from clear water, golden sands and modern styled hotels. And because South Beach is also famous for fine restaurants and bars, people come here not just for a swim but to party and have fun all day long.

  Bondi Beach (Sydney, Australia)

Bondi has the attractive view of clear waters and fine sands. The mild to wild waves of Bondi Beach also make it one of the world's top surfing destinations (目的地).

  English Bay Beach (Vancouver, Canada)

  It is in this part of Vancouver where seeing the sunset is one of the most delightful activities. Packed with small stands that offer locally made ice cream, hot dogs, fresh seafood and other treats, beach-goers are guaranteed of an incredible dining experience when in English Bay.

Traveling is a very good activity. When you are fed up with your work and when you can get a holiday, you can go to the beautiful spots to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities. You can breathe fresh air, visit some places of interest, meet different people and make friends with them. If you do so, you will forget your tiredness and troubles and build up your health. As a result, you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to undertake the new tasks waiting for you.

    But sometimes, traveling is not an enjoyable thing. For example, when the bus or car you take has a bad accident, you just sit in and waste your time. What’s more, the weather can be changeable. If you are climbing a mountain, it may rain suddenly. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold. The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen and you may have an injury. All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist.

    Therefore, when you are going on a trip, you must prepare yourself carefully. Firstly, you must have clear information about the weather. Secondly, you should choose a good companion so that you can help each other. Thirdly, you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents. If you do this, you’ll surely enjoy your travels and avoid any unnecessary trouble.
