Lion is a special animal to Chinese people. A couple of stone lions, a male (雄性) and a female (雌性), can often be seen in front of the gates of old buildings. The male lion is on the left with his right paw (手掌) on a ball, and the female on the right. And her left paw is touching a baby animal.

The lion is the king in the animal world because he is powerful. The ball shows the country or the family will be together forever, and the baby animal with the female shows that you will have many children.

The stone lions were also used to show the families were powerful. If you had no money or power, you couldn’t put the stone lions in front of your houses.

It was also popular to make bridges with stone lions. The best known of this is the Lugou Bridge (also as Marco Polo Bridge), built from 1189 to 1192. The stone lions on the bridge are most famous. Maybe there are 485 lions in all, maybe there are 498 or 501. A famous saying is that “the lions on the Lugou Bridge are uncountable(不可数的).”

Many foreign people may want to travel to China. But when is the best time to visit some of Chinese cities? Here is some advice.

The best time to visit Beijing is in September or October, because it’s cool in these months. There are many old and great places to visit, such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and the Palace Museum. People may also visit some new places like the Bird Nest and the Water Cube.

Do you want to feel cool in a hot summer? Please go to Lhasa. And the best time to visit it is in July or August. The city lies in the plateau that is usually thousands of metres above the sea level and the weather is pretty cool in summer. There you may enjoy special dance and music and taste good food. But you might need a coat or sweater because it’s cold in the evening.

In most places of China, it’s usually cold in winter. But Hainan Island is different. In winter, it’s always warm there. So winter is the best time to visit Haikou and Sanya. There you’ll probably enjoy swimming, diving or walking on the beach. Of course, you may taste all kinds of fruit and seafood there. That’s great!
