The other day we drove from Washington DC to the small town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. When we arrived at the factory, we realized that this was much more than just a factory. The whole town is a chocolate-themed amusement park. The sweet smell of chocolate is on every street corner. There are even road signs that say things like, "Chocolate Ave(大道)" and "Cake St.".
As we were walking towards the park, Jason, our tour guide, began telling us about this quiet little town. Hershey chocolate has been a brand in the world over the past hundred years. It is the biggest company that makes and sells chocolate in America," he started. "I guess you get the chocolate in China, don't you?"
I nodded(点头) without thinking. How could I possibly not know those lovely little candies when I've been eating them all these years?
Jason went on, "The factory first started on a small farm. It developed very fast. So they built this town for factory workers to live in. Then they built hotels, hospitals, stadiums(体育馆), theaters and even museums with the theme of chocolate. Isn't that cool?"
"Yes, a hundred times yes!" I yelled (叫喊 )with delight.

Hearst Castle is in California, America. A person called William Randolph Hearst built it between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million. Last year, I had a trip to that castle.
I spent the whole day looking around. But there was much to see, and a day wasn’t enough. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is the biggest one. Visitors can live in the other three ones. Many of them are Hollywood film stars, and they often come to the parties there.
At Hearst Castle, there are also beautiful gardens and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”. It was a pity that we couldn’t go swimming there!
The guide told us that Mr. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mother at the age of ten and looked at paintings and castles. He never forgot that tour and wanted his house to look like a castle. When Mr Hearst died in 1951, his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. Now it’s a museum.
