The Situation

In search of tranquility, a group of travelers heads to the 农村 (countryside | nóngcūn) and 海岸 (coast | hǎi'àn) areas beyond the hustle and bustle of 上海 (Shanghai). They are eager to experience 生态旅游 (ecotourism | shēngtài lǚyóu), starting with a hike along the 山脉 (mountain range | shānmài) on marked 步道 (trails | bùdào) and 远足 (trekking trails | yuǎnzú).

Their adventure includes a visit to a 渔村 (fishing village | yúcūn) where they engage in 户外活动 (outdoor activities | hùwài huódòng) and enjoy the serene 观景点 (viewpoints | guānjǐngdiǎn). They plan to 租船 (rent a boat | zū chuán) for a day to explore the nearby 生态园 (ecological park | shēngtài yuán) and coastlines of the 沿海 (coastal | yánhǎi) regions. Some are excited about 骑行 (cycling | qíxíng) through 乡间小路 (country roads | xiāngjiān xiǎolù) and 林间小径 (forest trails | línjiān xiǎojìng).

Their itinerary includes a visit to a local 农场 (farm | nóngchǎng) to learn about 农业 (agriculture | nóngyè) and participate in rural tourism. Some in the group are looking forward to 滑雪 (skiing | huáxuě) in the nearby mountains, while others are looking forward to relaxing on 沙滩 (beaches | shātān) and enjoying 水上活动 (water activities | shuǐshàng huódòng).

They are eager to explore 自然景观 (natural scenery | zìrán jǐngguān) and spot 野生动物 (wildlife | yěshēng dòngwù), making sure to respect the environment and local 生态 (ecology | shēngtài). The scenic 观光车 (sightseeing bus | guānguāng chē) offers them a comfortable way to navigate and enjoy the 景观 (landscape | jǐngguān).
