Taiwan island, the biggest island of China, is between the South and East China Seas. Almost two-thirds of the island is covered by mountains.

Traveling in Taiwan, you can do lots of things. In Taipei, you can taste all kinds of delicious food from the mainland, as well as some local delicacies. Standing at the top of Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest buildings, you can get a view of the whole city. In Tainan, the oldest city on the island, you can visit different temples. Known as the "City of 100 Temples", the city in fact has 220 temples in it.

Taiwan has a nice natural landscape (景观) as well. Sun and Moon Lake is a beautiful lake. On one side of the island it looks like the sun; on the other side it looks like the moon. That is why people call the lake Sun and Moon Lake. Ali Mountain is the nearest mountain around Sun and Moon Lake. You can enjoy a nice experience with Gaoshan people. It′s a wonderful place to see a very beautiful sunrise. If you enjoy swimming, fishing, boating and eating delicious fruit and fresh fish, Peng Lake must be a good place to visit.

In this area you can see mountains, valleys, and hot springs (温泉), together with fields of rice, oranges and tea.

I'm Bruno. My family and I arrived in the United States on March 4, 1998. We came here from Italy by plane. It was hard for us to leave our home and our relatives, but we wanted to make a new life here. Since that time, I have seen many curious and exciting places. I have learned a lot. New Orleans was very strange to me in the beginning. It was very different from Rome, my hometown. New Orleans seemed small and unexciting. I saw no grand buildings or ancient monuments (遗址). While some areas of town seemed clean and modern, others appeared old and dirty. Since then, I have become familiar with New Orleans and I like it better. I have visited the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Audubon Zoo. I have taken a river cruise (巡船) on the Delta Queen. I have taken a boat tour of the bayous (支流) and swamps (沼泽). I have become acquainted with (熟悉) the French Quarter and jazz music. I have eaten in fantastic restaurants. Now I know that New Orleans is as exciting and alive as Rome. Now it seems charming and friendly to me.

In the United States and Canada, there are over 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago. However, they have changed a lot. They are no longer places where one "should" go-they are places to enjoy.

At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Children's Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no "Do Not Touch" signs in some other museums in the USA.

More and more museum directors (馆长) have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, and experiment so as to find scientific rules for themselves.

The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. One cause of all these changes is the growing number of young people in the population. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.

— There are around one (百万).
