Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture. Famous country music groups put on performances there all year round, indoors and outdoors. People come from all over America to see skilled workers make wood, glass, and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visiting the candy shop and trying some of the same kind of candy that American southerners made 150 years ago is a rare experience. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has a superb old wooden roller coaster, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the longest track in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America’s historical southeastern culture!

位于美国东南部美丽的斯莫基山脉中的多莱坞，是独特的，因为它展示并欢庆美国东南地区的传统文化。著名的乡村音乐乐团全年都会在露天或室内演出。美国各地的人们来到这里，是为了观看熟练工人用老式的方法制作木制品、玻璃制品和铁制品。到糖果店品尝一下糖果是一种极好的经历，这些糖果和150年前美国南方人制作的一模一样。乘一乘蒸汽火车是一种特殊的待遇，这可是在美国东南部依然运转的唯一一辆蒸汽火车。多菜坞为那些喜欢搭乘游乐设施的人提供了最好的老式木制过山车——雷暴云砧。它因为在最小的空间内拥有最长的轨道而闻名于世。来多菜坞尽情了解美国东南地区的历史文化吧！

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China, is one of the leading ocean-themed parks in the world. Here you can walk under the Whale Shark Aquarium —the world’s largest—and see up to 20, 000 fish, in addition to a whale shark 68 metres in length. Watching the dolphin and sea lion shows is both educational and fun. Of course, you can also see all kinds of interesting animals, including polar bears. The park has more rides than you can imagine: join a water fight against pirates, get turned upside down by an exciting roller coaster, or get wet in one of the water rides! Then at night, see the splendid Journey of Lights Parade and fireworks display. Hungry? The park has plenty of restaurants with tasty food for every appetite —you can even eat while watching the fish swim by.
