Work. ⠀
⠀
How has work been for you in 2020? ⠀
⠀
It's a tough time for many people right now, but especially those who work in the travel industry. ⠀
⠀
I fear that when we come out the other side of this pandemic there will be far fewer travel companies to choose from. Predictions suggest that 50% of travel-related business may not make it through the next year. Sad times. ⠀

Summer. ⠀
⠀
Summer is finally coming to a close in Hangzhou. The leaves are falling, the flowers are dying and I have put the flip flops away for winter. I am worried that this will be a very, very long winter. ⠀
⠀
There are hopes that international travel will soon resume in parts of Asia with low virus numbers and the Chinese and Thai Government are currently in negotiation to enable quarantine-free travel between the two countries from the 1st Jan 2021. If this come to fruition, I would be sooooo happy! 🤞 🤞 🤞 ⠀

The types of tourism destinations.⠀
⠀
There are different types of tourist destinations around the world.⠀
⠀
Of course, no two destinations are the same (this is what makes travel so exciting!), but we can generally group destinations together into categories.⠀
⠀
The most common different categories of tourist destinations are as follows:⠀
⠀
Beach areas⠀
Natural areas⠀
Towns and cities⠀
Winter sport areas⠀
Areas known for culture and heritage⠀
⠀
What's your favourite type of tourist destination? ⠀

Do you think outside of the box?⠀
⠀
It's so easy to get caught up in everyday life. To forget about other places, other people, other lives. ⠀
⠀
This is one of the reasons that I love travel so much. Travel educates you. Travel broadens your mind. Travel lets you see the world that other people live in.⠀

Reflections. ⠀
⠀
Lets face it, 2020 has been pretty crap for us all. Whether you've suffered financially, socially or mentally, this pandemic has affected us all in one way or another. ⠀
⠀
But it's also given us the chance to reflect.⠀
⠀
Did I take too many flights per year pre-pandemic? Yep. Did I skim the surface of destinations, missing out on the detail that often lies beneath. Definitely. Could I do things differently? For sure. ⠀
⠀
When travel returns (because it always does), I have made a promise to myself to travel kinder. I want to embrace more slow travel. I want to experience more cultural tourism. I want to be as carbon neutral as possible. ⠀
⠀
Have you used this time to reflect? What are your thoughts? ⠀

Formed approximately 100 million years ago, Huangs

Formed approximately 100 million years ago, Huangshan began its ascent to fame after 747AD, however it is only in recent years that it has become a major tourist attraction. ⠀
⠀
It was one of the first designated national parks in China, awarded this status in 1982. Then in 1986, Huangshan was selected as one of the top 10 attractions in China. In 1990 it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and then finally in 2004, it was selected as a World Geopark.⠀
⠀
The Huangshan mountain range has several peaks that are easily accessible to tourists. ⠀
⠀
The three tallest and best-known peaks are Lotus Peak (1,864 m), Bright Peak (1,860 m) and Celestial Peak (1,829 m).⠀
⠀
The vegetation of the area varies with elevation and is made up of mesic, deciduous and alpine areas. Huangshan Mountain is known as one of China’s premier green tea growing areas. ⠀
⠀
The area is particularly famous for the Huangshan Pine. Many of the pine trees in the area are more than a hundred years old and have been given their own names. Many tourists stop to take photos of the famous Welcoming-Guests Pine, which is thought to be more than 1500 years old.⠀
