Take photos!

If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights. Don’t choose the sight you can see in other places. For example, Qingdao and Ningbo are coastal （沿海的）cities, so don’t only take photos of the sea. You should take photos of something else, too.

Taste!

You’d better taste some specials in the area. Food in some places is very delicious. So why not taste it? Maybe you have just one chance to taste it in your life.

Write!

When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook, so you can write down what you see and what you think during the trip.
