2．At this time of the year，when you look up at the sky，some"man-made birds"may catch your eyes．These"birds"are colourful kites．
Kites were invented in China．In the beginning，they were made of wood and bamboo．People used them to pass messages or as warming signals（警告标志） during wartime．
Later，paper kites became popular and people flew kites to get rid of（除去） bad luck and bless themselves．
Today，the custom is still alive in the traditional patterns（图案） of some kites，such as the bat stands for blessing．
However，modern kites come in different shapes and patterns．The largest kite in the world is a big"octopus"．It's 1，500square metres，which is as big as three basketball courts．A kite team from Tianjin made it in three months．
Kite flying is an enjoyable sight in the sky．In China，the best time to enjoy colourful kites is during the Weifang International Kite Festival in April．The festival has competitions for kite-flying skills and new styles of kites．
Kite flying is also a healthy sport．It is good for your neck and eyes．When looking at the flying kites in the sky，your neck and eyes become relaxed．

18．For me，living in Canda for 25years，China is a new world that I have longed to explore．This spring，I chose Yangzhou to be my first stop on a 16-month trip around China．It was like love at first sight．At 15，I bought a book of collection of poems about Tang Dynasty．Through it，I heard of Yangzhou for the first time．I was deeply attracted by a poem written by Li Bai-"Sailing to Yangzhou in March"．
Yangzhou，sitting 2，500years at the crossing of the Yangtze River and the 2，400-year-old Grand Canal（大运河），is one of the first 24 historic and cultural cities in China．In the old town，there are many streets an houses．It's best to visit the city in spring．Spring oaints the city in brigtht colors．
Yangzhou has always been famous for its gardens．Among them，the Slender West Lake，one of the biggest attractions in the city，was my first stop．The park with its fantastic landscape and lots of history has enough to keep a tourist busy for the whole day．What a shame I simply could afford half a day!
My next stop was He Garden，one of the best prottected gardens in Yangzhou．It was once owned by the family of He Zhidao in Qing Dynasty．He Zhidao successfully brought Chinese and Western architectural（建筑的） features together．
Yangzhou is also the starting point of the Grand Canal tour．Taking a boat along the part of the canal in Yangzhou，I was amazed at the liveliness of this ancient waterway and the city's history and culture．
Luckily，my two-day trip to Yangzhou was filled with pleasure and wonder．It made me hungry for more China．
