7、elley and Ken, her colleague, and I left Hangzhou for Xitang, Zhejiang province. The scenery was so wonderful that I took many pictures along the way. In Wenlin we had a ride in a pedal taxi from the new bus station to the old one to catch the bus to Xitang. What fun it was to ride in something I ha
8、ve only ever seen on the screen. We were soon on the Xitang bus. Driving through Xitang was an eye opener. It was very hilly, and the houses were all built in several stories up the hillside, attractive indeed and very different from the houses in Hangzhou, or elsewhere. At the last stop we arrived
9、and, with our luggage, started walking along a deserted road lined with 3-storey buildings. The ground floor shops were 99% empty. It was surprising to see a street with no people around. Towards the end of the road we were greeted by three teenage girls, who gestured and spoke to us, directing us b
10、ack the way we had come. Then we crossed the road to a large church building. We were led into this building, where a young lady received us. She spoke English and after some conversation very kindly invited us to stay in the church. The local hotels were closed. She took us on a wonderful tour, and
11、 on the way it was decided that we would take a ride on a fishing boat out to sea and around an island. We even saw the monument to the first part of mainland China the sun shone on January 1st, 2000. We went down to the harbour area where we had a delicious seafood meal at a seaside restaurant. We
12、walked down to a fishing boat, climbed on board, and soon were heading to the sea. The setting sun afforded a wonderful photo opportunity of the cliffs and houses, shops and harbour of Xitang. When our trip was finished we went for a walk through the wonderful shops in the town. This is old China or
13、 at least the way I imagine old China to be. All in all, it was a most happy and exciting experience. I will definitely be going back to visit these wonderful people in the near future.6.

17、suffer from natural disasters every year. Many natural disasters are likely to hit China, including typhoons, droughts, earthquakes, fires, landslides and serious snowstorms. Northern China mostly suffers from droughts while the southern and central provinces suffer from water and wind-related disas
18、ters. Floods are common in central and southern China because these areas have higher rainfalls than the north. They also have wetlands, lakes and so many rivers like the Yangtze River. Heavy rainfalls often cause the water levels to rise dangerously. Natural disasters almost always cause human and
19、material losses. In 2008 China met one of the deadliest earthquakes in the country in recent years. The earthquake was centred in the small town of Wenchuan, in Sichuan province, but its effects were felt throughout the whole province and even as far away as Beijing. More than 70 thousand people die
20、d while over 370 thousand were seriously injured. Farmlands, housed, animals and crops were severely damaged or entirely destroyed. These material losses from natural disasters, on top of the injuries and deaths, lead to further suffering long after the disasters have passed. China experienced this
21、just recently, as it is still dealing with the effects of the worst snowstorms in fifty years. In January and February of 2008 unexpected changes in weather in central and southern China led to heavy snowstorms that cut off power lines and blocked roads and railway tracks.
