旅游业增长最快的城市:中国,重庆
Chongqing in south-west China is poised to grow its travel industry by 14 percent in the next 10 years, according to a report by the World Travel and Tourism Council.
根据世界旅游及旅行理事会发布的报告,未来10年中,位于中国西南部的重庆市旅游业将增长14%。
But why might you want to spend a long weekend in Chongqing? Our family editor Sally Peck, who lived in China for two years and returns frequently, explains. “Greater Chongqing, population 30 million, is a major manufacturing centre and transportation hub,” she says.
但你为什么会想去重庆度过一个悠长的周末呢?家庭生活编辑萨利-佩克曾在中国生活了两年,并且经常回去看看,她解释说:“重庆有三千万人口,是主要的制造中心和交通枢纽。”
“It occupies a strategic position along the Yangtze, serving as the start of most Three Gorges cruises, and also as the port for many cargo ships. While hot pot probably originated in northern China, its greatest iteration comes from Chongqing: you cook raw vegetables and meat in a bowl of fiery chilli-laden soup and it is delicious.”
“重庆在沿江流域的战略位置很重要,是大多数三峡游轮的出发地,也是很多货船的停靠口岸。尽管火锅源自中国北方,但最出名的还是在重庆:把生的蔬菜和肉扔在滚烫的辣汤里涮,非常美味。”
污染最严重的城市:印度,德里
Pollution in Delhi hit staggering new heights last winter, with the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 999. To provide a little context, the highest AQI in London is currently 88, and anything above 500 is considered “hazardous”.
