In the southwestern part of Jiangsu Province , the southern suburbs of the ancient city of Nanjing, there is a magical and quaint land, revealing fascinating charm like a brilliant pearl. It has natural ecology, beautiful scenery and rich resources and has got the famous reputation of being a land of fish and rice. This is Gaochun, the Jiangnan Holy Land called by the Qianlong emperor in Qing Dynasty and now one of the Top 100 Counties, the National Health City, the State Historical and Cultural Town, the first State-level Ecological Demonstration Area in Nanjing. Those who are familiar with Gaochun know that Gaochun is ancient and magical  because there is a Gaochun Old Street.

Gaochun is also my mother’s hometown, I will go there several times a year since I was young. every time I go to chaochun, I will go to the old street. It has the its own special smell. personally I really like the places there are historical. This street is like my old friend, I know every details of it, and it will always on my side.

Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre,also known as Macau Tower, is a tower located in the south of the Macau Peninsula of Macau. The tower measures 338 m (1,109 ft) in height from ground level to the highest point. At 233 meters, the Macau Tower’s tethered “skyjump” and Bungee jump from the tower’s outer rim, is the highest commercial skyjump in the world (233 meters), and the second highest commercial decelerator descent facility in the world, after Vegas’ Stratosphere skyjump at 252 meters.The tower was created by the architecture firm of Craig Craig Moller.

I had a trip to Macau with my family when I was 13-years-old.  When I first stoodd on this tower, I just felt it’s really high. And I think it was the first and also the last time for me to do the Bungee Jump. Actually after I did that bungee jump, I had the acrophobia, and even can not enjoy any amusement park anymore…
