B [2015'东北三省四市教研联合体高考模拟]

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it's easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.

Why it's a great choice: Australia as a whole is consid?ered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travellers go there. In this English-speaking country, you won't be faced with any language barriers. Mel?bourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!

Thailand

Thailand is great for solo travellers―perhaps because of its Buddhist mindset, which promotes equality among the sexes.

Why it's a great choice: Thailand is known for its friend?ly atmosphere, and in this travel hot spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travellers. Well known for cheap commodity prices, especially in the north, Thailand is a good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(热带的)jungle.

Hong Kong, China

Hong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travellers as it is full of "Zen moments", such as beautiful gardens and t'ai chi classes.

Why it's a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you're not well-travelled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western cultures at the same time. 

Bali, Indonesia

 Bali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, organic food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendid vis?ual culture has made Bali number one tourist attraction.

  Why it's so great- you won't be the only solo traveller in Bali. Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you're sure to meet some amazing characters along the way. As a Hindu island, Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(静修).The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctua?ry in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys, anyway.
