  231. Venues2 of China中国的游览胜地 venturesome-vigilant3
Venturesome travelers in China have a host of venues from which to choose. From the verdant4 grasslands5 of the steppes of Inner Mongolia to the verbal acrobatics6 of Xiangsheng comedy duo performers in Chinese theaters, there is a lot to take in. China provides versatile7 pleasures. Travelers with little vigilance may not be able to witness this. Therefore, do not allow one traveler’s version of China to influence you. In one instance, a traveler told us that a friend’s negative experience in Fujian almost vetoed his desire to go there. Travel with an open mind, be vigilant to all the different opportunities that abound8, and you will likely find that many negative comments made by others cannot be verified at all. One example of differing opinions of the same site is the Peking Man site near Beijing. A museum dedicated9 to the archeological discovery of one of the first vertebrates to walk in a vertical10 fashion, some people find it a vibrant11 place to visit, while others say that though the vicinity is nice, the museum is a bore. Speaking of Beijing, it happens to be the cultural and economic capital of the country. Many people come from far away to vie for even menial jobs, just so they can live in this metropolis12. Too many, perhaps, see Beijing as their vessel13 to success. Unfortunately, many do not vibrate to the tune14 of success. But the exciting vibrations16 of the city keep people here. All in all, a viable17 living can be made there. To even be slightly victorious18, economically speaking, is quite an accomplishment19 in such a huge city. Many foreign tourists find the economic viability20 inviting21 a well. Employment opportunities are abundant, and while they may have been losers in their own backyard, in Beijing they are the victors. A veteran of the foreign resident life, Jim Caple explains why many adventurous22 travelers end up staying in the capital “One minute you’re visiting the last vestiges24 of royal China at the Imperial Palace, and next, you’re listening to recitations of Tang dynasty verse in a teahouse. It really is nice.” As we said, the country has a lot to offer.
