　　While long-distance travel is not a top choice because of the COVID-19, camping gets more popular for people living in cities.
　　A report showed that during the May Day holiday in 2022, searches about camping increased by 117 percent compared with April. Forests and islands were the two most popular places. Ji Nan went camping with her friends in the mountains during the holiday. She said camping is a good way to get closer to nature and enjoy outdoor activities for good health. "At the some time, it can bring friends together and close," she added.
　　The growing popularity has also increased the need for camping things, such as tents, outdoor tables and chairs and sleeping bags. That's good news for businessmen.
　　However, the need for campsite is greater than the available places. "Everywhere is full and there is a lent every several meters." a tourist said. Besides, camping isn't always good for the local environment. In the campsite, some of the grassland is getting harder and harder without grass on it because of too much foot traffic. Trash, like bamboo barbecue (烧烤) sticks and disposable (—次性的) plates, could be seen everywhere.
　　The government needs to provide more green space for tourists and call on people to protect the environment while camping.

15．　　When you travel in Chengdu, never miss the wonderful face-changing at the local tea houses. How much do you know about this traditional skill?Let's learn something about it.
　　Face-changing is unique skill in Sichuan Opera, one Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Sichuan. It is also a very lively way to show the thoughts and feelings of different characters of the play.
　　It is widely believed that the skill of face-changing could date back to ancient times. To scare away the dangerous animals and protect themselves, the ancient people painted their faces in different colors, making themselves look scary. Later, it developed into a famous art form.
　　Generally speaking, there are three kinds of skills of face-changing, including wiping (擦) the face, blowing the face and pulling the face. Besides, breathing is another skill of face-changing, but few people know it.
　　Before performing the skill of wiping the face, the performer will first spread some special paint on the face. Then he could change the color of his face in a second by wiping it. When the actors perform the skill of blowing the face, he blows a small box full of cosmetic powders (化妆粉) which is placed on the stage. And then the powders are blown to his face, changing the color into another. The skill pulling the face is more difficult. Under the cover of the dancing movements, the actor pulls each piece of the facial makeups which is tied with a thin threa (线). The performer must do the movements carefully and very quickly. This skill master Peng Denghuai changed 14 masks in 25 seconds. This was his latest Guinness World record.

ID cards around the world
　　In the US, there is no national-level ID card. We usually just use our drivers licenses, since each state accepts them. If you don't learn to drive, your state can give you an official (正式的) ID card that looks similar to a drivers license. Don't worry, though. If you visit another state, your ID will be also adjoined (承认). This means, for example, that you can drive in California with a license from New York. For national-level identification, passports are common. However, most people in the US do not have a passport.
　　Australia does not have a national identity card. There are various forms of ID that can be used to confirm someone's identity. The most common is a drivers license. An Australian drivers license includes your full name, date of birth, current address and headshot (头部特写) photo. The majority of Australian adults have one. If you don't have a license, you can apply for a Proof of Age card or a Keypass ID. Of course, an Australian Passport works, too. Another form of ID is a Medicare card, but it only has your name and card number. Medicare is like China's social insurance (保险) system. All Australians have access to it
　　In the UK, we don't have ID cards. To book a hotel room or visit the doctor, we only need to provide our phone number and name. The only situation in which someone would have to show ID would be to prove their age. An example of this may be if they want to watch a scary film at the cinema. In this situation, we most commonly use our drivers licenses, sometimes even our passports. If you haven't learned to drive yet, you can apply for a provisional (临时的) drivers license that can be used as an ID. This is the document you need to learn bow to drive.
