I have holidays in late December and will be in Hong Kong, and want to visit Yangzhou. Are river cruises still operating
A
Answered by Ms. Chen from China | Jul.18, 2018 04:24 Reply
I don't think it is a good idea to visit the city in winter, which is famous for natural scenery. The best time should be spring and summer. And, the weather may be somewhat cold during Dec which isn't good for cruise.

“We must send a telegram to check whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall," said Holmes.
Sir Henry said he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall.
“OK”, said Holmes. “But you mustn't go alone. Watson can go with you. "
Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10:30 train on Saturday.
Holmes thought deeply on the way home: the story of the Hound, Sir Charles's death, the strange letter, the missing boot and the black-bearded man. He sat in his room all afternoon, smoking and thinking.
Just before dinner, a telegram arrived. It said,“Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall. "
“That becomes a dead end, Watson. We will have to look for another way to go forward.

The driver looked surprised and then answered,“The man said he was a detective and that I shouldn't tell anyone about him. "
“It's serious, my friend, and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer.”
“His name,” said the driver, “was Sherlock Holmes. "
I'd never seen Holmes more surprised. Then he laughed. “He scored against me that time, Watson. "

Trees in cities "live fast but die young" compared to forests in the countryside, warns a new study.
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2. City-living trees suffer(遭受) a loss of carbon storage(碳储量). That means trees produce less energy from the air.
Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation. Ian Smith, a PhD student of Boston University in the United States, said, “Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.”. “We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover(树冠覆盖率). Because of the age and size of the present canopy, efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover.”
The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods. Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth, death and planting rates(率)both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts.
It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside. However, loss of carbon
