Everyone knows it is winter in China. But when I was in the south of China for the Chinese New Year, it almost felt like summer! I am lucky to see a lot of China when I travelled all over China.

In Qingdao I drank beer and swam in the sea. But in Harbin it was very cold. I saw the beautiful ice and snow sculptures. In Chongli, Hebei, I learned to snowboard in the snow! Shanghai is like a European(欧洲的) city. There are lots of western cafes and restaurants and it is quite warm.

Guilin is another lovely, warm place. I visited the old buildings and walked around a beautiful lake. Yangshou is my favourite city. I took photos of the mountains and the Li River. It was -25℃ in Harbin, but was 22℃ in Yangshou. The Sun was so hot that I even got sunburnt! I rode a bicycle along the Yulong River. I ate strawberries and drank tea from the farms in the mountains.

Monkeys are clever, but they are very greedy (贪婪的) as well. They have suffered (吃亏) a lot because of this. But they never change this way.

In India, people use monkeys’ greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.

Make a hole（洞）in a big pumpkin. The hole must be just right—not too big or too small.

Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.

Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.

Hide yourself and watch the monkeys.

When you leave, the monkeys come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them puts its hand into the hole to find out what is inside. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. So it isn’t able to take its fist (拳) out of the hole. You can’t come close at this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It seems it likes the pumpkin better than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. Finally, people can catch it easily.
