As one of the best travel agencies, we highly recommend China as your travel destination. This ancient and

you should visit with us!

When looking for natural beauty, Yangshuo comes first in Chinese minds for its karst hills and rivers, which

have inspired many poets and artists. Taking a 3-hour family-friendly hike is a good way to enjoy the Li River’s

beauty. We can take you to less-crowded sites to get away from the touristy parts of Yangshuo and enjoy the

painting-like scenes in peace.

Hangzhou

The Yellow Mountains have their classic “four natural wondersn: peculiar pines ( 奇松), oddly-shaped rocks,

seas of clouds, and hot springs. The villages around the Yellow Mountains are considered among the most beautiful

villages in China. Hongcun, a set for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, was one of them. We offer tour guidance of

walking or biking among these ancient villages. You may as well stay in a typical Hui-style hotel.

At the age of 17 years 64 days, Mack Rutherford has become the youngest person to fly around the world

alone! Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-

breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off

and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane.

Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land

whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally ( 确实地) couldn’t land, such as when

flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In

Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going.

Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his

flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety.

And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the

world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings ( 兄弟姐妹) were

inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said,

“My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational private pilot.”

Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background

you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’

expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards

catching up on his schoolwork!

5. What challenges did Mack face?

A. Limitation of flight hours. B. Darkness and safety issues.

6. Why did Mack and his sister want to be pilots?

In today’s world, cultural heritage—a term Yale University President Peter Salovey referred to as “the record

of humanity”—is increasingly under attack by threats ranging from climate change, theft, mass tourism, and war.
