Following the barbecue-driven travel craze to the city of Zibo in East China and the ice-snow tourism frenzy (旅游狂潮) in Harbin in the northeast, Chinese social media has once again showed its influence in highlighting (突出) the next internet-famous city worth exploring.
This time it's Tianshui, a low-key city in Northwest China's Gansu province that has become the focus. It has attracted a lot of attention on the Internet after being enthusiastically recommended by food lovers and social media influencers, celebrating the city's iconic dish of hot pot and its rich cultural attractions, including the Maijishan Grottoes (麦积山石窟).
Known as Tianshui Malatang (麻辣烫), which means spicy and hot, the local dish is popular for its large piece of skewered (串在签子上的) meat, vegetables, and hand-made potato noodles in a pot of boiling soup, and served with a spoon of special chili oil.
As of March 13, "Tianshui Malatang" has become the most widely searched topic across China's major social media platforms, and related short videos have received over 1 billion views. Searches for "Tianshui Malatang" on the Chinese lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu have resulted in over 30,000 related notes.
To keep the tourist flow, the city also makes efforts to ensure food safety and price control. To make things easier for tourists, the locals have developed various travel routes suitable for their different interests, whether it's discovering local flavors (当地特色) or exploring cultural sites. Meanwhile, many locals have volunteered to offer free rides, picking up tourists from the stations.

Teacher 19:37:33: Hello, everyone. Our class raised $825 through our activities at the school fair last month. Once again, huge thanks to all of you. Now the big question is: how do we spend the money? I want to hear your ideas and the reasons. Over to you ...! | |
Nacho 19:38:39: I think we should spend the money on some new computers for the computer room. Last week we had to share the computers. What does everyone else think? | |
Pablo 19:39:57: Nacho, I can see your point but $825 would only buy about three small computers. I think it is better to spend the money on some new equipment (设备) for the table tennis club. This Wednesday one of the tables broke. | |
Teacher 19:40:43: Good points. Thanks for your ideas. What do other people think? | |
Mari 19:41:08: I think it's a good idea to buy some sports equipment, but not for the table tennis club. Only five of the class are members of it and we should spend the money on something everyone likes. | |
Daniel 19:49:56: I agree. How about our end-of-term celebration? Everyone in the class would like that! | |
Teacher 19:50:48: Thanks for your idea, Daniel, but I think that's too much money to spend on our end-of-term celebration! Maybe we can use some of the money for the celebration and the rest for something else. What do you think? |
Good study habits are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you will learn faster and have a good memory. It is useful to have a good memory. When someone says he has a good memory, it means that he keeps practicing by using it.
Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn well. Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. I think it is necessary to put away your things. It helps you study well, too. Enough light is good for your study. You will feel tired easily if there is not enough light.
Of all the good study habits, one has developed: asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything, but we can always learn from others by asking questions. Another simple but helpful habit is to tell yourself what you are studying for. Put your dream grades on your desk. It means you will see and think about it every day.
When do you work best? Are you an early bird or a night owl (猫头鹰), or something in between? Find your most productive work time and then plan to study at the time. I believe you will make great progress in your study.
