Night tours will be available from October 1 to 8 during the National Day(国庆节,guó qìng jié) and Mid-Autumn Festival(中秋节,zhōng qiū jié) holidays, which usually see a spike in domestic travel.

Visitors can ascend the tower to appreciate the night views(夜景,yè jǐng) as well as a light show(灯光秀,dēng guāng xiù), which will be staged at the historic building and along the Yangtze River(长江,cháng jiāng) every night during the period, according to organizers.

The show, entitled “Ascending the Yellow Crane Tower at Night,” will adopt advanced techniques to incorporate multimedia(多媒体,duō méi tǐ) elements, such as lights, sounds, and animated projections, with live performances(现场表演,xiàn chǎng biǎo yǎn) of classic arts.

“[The show] is offering visitors an immersive experience(沉浸式体验,chén jìn shì tǐ yàn) and a unique cultural landscape of the ancient legacy,” said the show’s director Liu Fei.

Perched on Snake Hill beside the Yangtze River, the 1,800-year-old tower often appeared in ancient Chinese literary works(文学作品,wén xué zuò pǐn) and is one of the Four Great Towers(四大名楼,sì dà míng lóu) in China. It has been destroyed and rebuilt(重建,chóng jiàn) many times in its long history, and was most recently renovated in 1985.

The ancient building is among the major tourist attractions(旅游景点,lǚ yóu jǐng diǎn) in Wuhan, capital of central China’s Hubei province, that have scrapped tickets for domestic visitors as a token of gratitude for nationwide assistance(援助,yuán zhù) during the city’s fight with COVID-19.

Hubei last month announced it would open its key scenic spots to domestic visitors free of charge until the end of 2020, aiming to revive(振兴,zhèn xīng) the province’s virus-hit tourism industry.

淘气的侄女 My Naughty Niece

My Naughty Niece My sister got married two years ago and now her daughter is one year old. Last week, my sister was busy and she asked me to take care of her child for half a day. I said yes without hesitation because I thought it would be very easy, but later it turned out to be wrong. My niece was moving all the time. As she was too young to walk, so she crawled everywhere, then I needed to focus my attention all the time. Once she was out of my sight, then something bad would happen. Though I sat at the table, I could do nothing, it was so tired. When my sister was back, I felt relieved, raising a child is never an easy work. Translate: 翻译:
