Lijiang is a mountainous city in northwest Yunnan Province. The old town of Lijiang,
located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a town of scenic beauty and
known for its history and culture. It is also a well-preserved old town with features of
ethnic minorities. The construction work of the old town was started from the
Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years from now. Not only does Lijiang boast a
long history but also it boasts many ethnic minorities who make up over a half of the
total population in the region. With the booming of Lijiang tourism, the old town of
Lijiang is receiving a growing number of tourists from home and abroad. In December
1997, the old town succeeded in applying to be named a World Cultural Heritage Site,
filling the gap of lacking a noted historical and cultural city in China on the World
Cultural Heritage List.

令人惊奇的旅行目的
1
早晨四点一刻，闹钟把我从美梦中惊醒，
要不是突然看见早已收拾好的行李箱，
我几乎又要睡着。想起来还要去机场，我叹了口气。出租车来晚了，并且在途中
迷了路，我越来越担心会赶不上飞机。
出租车一到机场我就冲进去，
跌跌撞撞通
过安检处，终于多我来到了登机口。
经历这一早所有的麻烦事，
我乘坐的航班却
被取消了。在接下来的
218
分钟里，我被困在了机场，
唯一觉得安慰的是机场提
供的一杯免费咖啡。这就是旅行，让人心烦的跑跑停停。最终，在不知经过多少
小时之后，终于到达要去的地方。
2
我们为什么要旅行
?其实，我并不介意飞行本身，在这样一个密实的金属大鸟中飞
行，让我感到很奇妙。然而，旅程其余 的部分，从一大早
X
光检査到出售大堆纪念
品的糟糕的机场商场，
感觉就像是关于现代社会弊病的乏味课程。
这是全球化的
结果，它糟糕透了。
3
当然，有时候我们 旅行是因为我们需要去旅行。因为即使在这个数字化时代，我
们仍然有一些很重要的事情要去做，
比如在商务午餐中与生意伙伴握手，
或是在
感恩节这天吃上妈妈特别准备的食物，
或是在你和你女朋友的两周年纪念日这天去
看她。
4
但是大多数旅行是可去可不去的，
在超过
50
英里的旅行中，只有
30%
属于真正
必需的商务旅行。
我们旅行是因为我们想要去旅行，
因为到一个新地方的兴奋和激
动可以抵消在机场的各种烦心事；
因为工作压力太大，
我们的血压太高，
我们要
去热带地区度假；
因为在家实在太无聊；
因为航班都在打折；
因为巴黎毕竟是巴
黎。
5
多亏了现代航空技术，
我们现在可以以非凡的速度在空中穿梭。
在人类历史中，
这是我们第一次超过太阳——在短短一天中从一个半球到达另一个半球。当然，
仅仅往飞机上一坐是不够的。
我们要想认识到旅行在提高创新力方面的价值，
还得
再全面考虑其目的。
毕竟，大多数人逃到巴黎，
是因为这样他们就可以不必考
