The first Disneyland in Europe was opened in France in 1992. At first it was called “Euro Disney”, but later it was renamed as“Disneyland Paris”in 1994. It is now one of the most successful Disney theme parks in the world with up to 70,000 visitors a day during the warm summer months.

　　The park has five different parts called“lands” Each land has its own unique（独特的）and exciting features. The five different lands are called Main Street USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland and Discoveryland.

　　In Main Street USA, you can experience a typical American town of 100 years ago. There are steam trains at the railroad station, horse-drawn street cars and jazz bands in the streets. All the shops sell old-fashioned goods and the people wear old-style clothes.

　　In Adventureland, you can find Caribbean pirates（海盗）and African dancers. You can also camp with the Swiss Family Robinson in their tree house.

　　Frontierland shows the American Wild West—there is even a native American village. The most popular attraction here is the Phantom Manor which has 999 ghosts（鬼怪）! Each ghost has a secret, but you will have to go into the house to find out what they are!

　　In Fantasyland, you can meet your favourite Disney characters in their own surroundings：Sleeping Beauty in her castle, Dumbo the flying elephant in a circus（马戏团）, and Snow White in the dark forest. You can also enjoy tea with Alice and their friends in Wonderland.

　　The main attraction in Discoveryland is Space Mountain. In it you can go to the moon on an exciting roller coaster ride—the journey takes two and a half minutes!

　　After visiting the lands, you can have a meal in one of the many restaurants in the park or you can meet Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto. In Disney Village you can relax and enjoy the magical surroundings, go shopping or visit a nightclub（夜总会）.

　　We know that you will love Disneyland Paris because it has something for everyone. Book your trip of a lifetime now!

Xu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to South Korea with his parents during the Spring Festival.

“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.

Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.

Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).

By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.

The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.

“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak(高峰) in European tours.”

Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, 中国消费者协会) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.

“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations(名声) and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.

Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies(旅行社) last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.

Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts(合同) with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
