Have you ever been to Beijing? Have you ever noticed any houses in the Hutongs of Beijing? If you see a yard (院子) enclosed by a group of houses and walls on the four sides， it is called a Siheyuan. Siheyuan is a traditional type of building found throughout China， most famously in Beijing. Siheyuan has a history of more than three thousand years. People first built this kind of building in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The size of the Siheyuan was affected (影響) by the owner’s social status (身份). And the gates (大門) were also different. Some gates were painted red while others had door nails.

Facing towards the yard， the houses in a Siheyuan are mostly for different members of a large family. For example， the senior members usually live in the main house in the north which has good lighting and temperature all year round. The eldest son usually lives in the house in the east while the second son in the west. The houses next to the gate in the south were for servants in old times.

With the development of society， some houses have been knocked down， making Siheyuan a precious memory of the old Beijing City. When you come to Beijing， do visit a Siheyuan to experience the real Beijing culture.

Albinen is in Valais， a state in the heart of the Swiss Alps. It is a beautiful mountain village and a perfect place for people to spend their holiday.

Before roads were built， only footpaths (人行道) allowed people to reach Albinen. In 1902， there was no hotel or shop there. At that time， the population of the village was only 301， the largest population ever. Since the 1940s， people have been leaving the village and most of them were young because there were not enough jobs. Although cars reached Albinen in the 1960s and the roads brought in tourists， Albinen’s population continued to fall. In 2017， there were about 240 people living there. The village school was closed so the village’s 7 children had to go to another town by bus every day.

To attract families and people under 45 years old to buy， or build new homes in the village， the mayor (鎮(zhèn)長) of Albinen， Beat Jost， carried out a policy (政策) in 2017. Each adult would be given $25，000 and each child would be paid $10，000. But they had to live in the village for ten years.

People around the world knew the news quickly. “The policy fully worked. We had 12，000 requests by e-mail or phone，” said the mayor. “At last we accepted 38 people， including 12 children.” And at the end of 2019， the village had four births. It had been a new record for 20 years!

The Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) in Cancun is always organizing an unusual and popular public art show. It’s the largest museum of its kind anywhere on earth.

MUSA lies off the coast of Mexico. Construction (建造) began in 2009 and the museum opened to the public one year later. Unlike a traditional museum， it’s an environmental project with the purpose of helping to protect coral reefs and sea life. There are over 500 different sculptures (雕塑) in MUSA.

The sculptures were placed within three galleries (陳列室) of MUSA. The Punta Nizuc Gallery is about 4 meters deep with 33 sculptures. It is closest to most of Cancun’s hotels.

There’s also a third gallery called the Punta Sam Gallery. And it’s as deep as the Punta Nizuc Gallery.

Visitors can enjoy the art show and get close to local sea life as they swim or dive around the museum. The diving tours cost between $90 and $160 per person. If you don’t want to get wet， you can still visit the underwater museum—just book a glass boat tour， for only $47 per person.
