s:my trip to germany was truly unforgettable. i spent a month traveling across the country, starting in the picturesque bavarian region.
becky: that sounds fantastic! tell us about your time in bavaria.
s:bavaria is a beautiful region with stunning landscapes and charming towns. i started in munich, where i had the chance to visit iconic attractions like the nymphenburg palace and the marienplatz. i couldn’t miss the opportunity to enjoy a traditional bavarian beer garden experience, sipping on a cold brew and indulging in some delicious pretzels.
becky: that sounds delightful! did you explore any other cities in bavaria?
s:absolutely! i ventured to nuremberg, a city known for its rich history and medieval architecture. the nuremberg castle and the old town square were highlights of my visit. i also took a day trip to the fairytale-like town of rothenburg ob der tauber, where i wandered the cobblestone streets and admired the well-preserved medieval walls.
becky: bavaria seems like a dream destination for history and architecture lovers. where else did your journey take you in germany?
s:,from bavaria, i made my way to the vibrant capital city, berlin. this city is a melting pot of cultures and is known for its diverse art scene. i visited the east side gallery, a section of the berlin wall covered in colorful murals. the museum island, with its collection of world-class museums, was another highlight for me.
becky: berlin is truly a fascinating city with its rich history and modern vibe. did you have time to explore other regions in germany?
s:,yes, indeed! i traveled to the rhineland-palatinate region, where the charming town of heidelberg captured my heart. the heidelberg castle, with its stunning views of the neckar river, was definitely worth the climb. the nearby town of mainz, with its roman heritage and gorgeous cathedral, was also a must-visit.
becky:,it sounds like you had a well-rounded experience exploring different parts of germany. any specific recommendations for our listeners?
s:absolutely! germany is known for its love of outdoor activities, so i highly recommend exploring the black forest region. hiking through the dense forests, visiting picturesque villages like triberg, and indulging in some black forest cake are a must. additionally, don’t miss experiencing the magical christmas markets during the holiday season, especially in cities like dresden and munich.
becky:those are excellent recommendations, michael! it sounds like you had an incredible journey through germany. any final thoughts?

becky: so, of all the places you've traveled, what impressed you the most?
s: i’ve been fortunate enough to visit many cities in china, but some of my favourites are beijing, shanghai, guangzhou, and guilin. each city has its unique culture, history, and natural beauty.
becky: that sounds wonderful. what have been some of your favourite experiences or activities in these cities?
s: in beijing, i loved visiting the forbidden city and beijing’s many ancient temples. the great wall also remains one of my most unforgettable experiences. in shanghai, strolling along the bund and discovering the city’s modern architecture was a fantastic experience. meanwhile, guangzhou’s canton tower offers incredible skyline views of the city. guilin, on the other hand, has breathtaking natural scenery such as the karst peaks and the li river.
becky: those are all amazing experiences! do you have any advice for our listeners about traveling in china?
s: sure! firstly, i would recommend trying the local cuisine; china has a richhistory of food and has a lot to offer foodies. secondly, try to learn a few useful chinese phrases. it will help you to communicate with locals and show that you appreciate their culture. finally, be prepared for the crowds that come with traveling during peak seasons and the times of traditional festivals. but don’t let it discourage you because china is an incredible country with a diverse culture.
becky: those are all insightful pieces of advice. can you tell us more about the cultural differences you have noticed in china while traveling?
s: of course! one of the most significant cultural differences involves how chinese people use social media. it was a surprise to discover that chinese social media platforms, such as wechat and weibo, were much more prevalent than those we use in the western world. it is fascinating that they use social media for everything, from ordering food to booking hotels. another important aspect of chinese culture is how the people value family and relationships. chinese people often invite their friends and family over for dinner, and it is a great way to experience the country’s hospitality.
becky:that’s very interesting to know. lastly, what is your favorite destination in china, and why?
s: it’s difficult to pick just one place, but i think guilin would be my favorite destination. its natural beauty is incomparable, and it’s an ideal place to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. in a word, it’s just stunning.
becky: thank you so much, sarah, for sharing these incredible destinations and tips with us today. unfortunately, that’s all the time we have for now. stay tuned for more travel talks in the future. bye, everyone!
