三、阅读理解。回答下列问题。
There are many cities in China. Guilin is my favourite city because of its beauty, its waterways and its cafes, but most of all because I met my wife there. It is her home town and we will both retire(退休)there in a few years.
Not only is Guilin a wonderful city, but there are many interesting places to visit. The Ling Canal is one of the oldest canals in the world. It was built about 2,200 years ago and connects two major river systems, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. The Longsheng Rice Terraces is another man - made wonder that was built around 650 years ago. The Gudong Waterfall Park is another place that is worth visiting. The hike to the top of all these waterfalls isn’t very difficult. You can take a ride to the bottom on a personal rail car that can be halted with a brake(刹车). You can also climb up some of the waterfalls with the help of chains.
In Guilin you can walk to many places. If you need to go further(更远), the buses come by about every 15 minutes on the busy streets. There are plenty of taxis too, and many trips are only about 9 *yuan*. Guilin is a perfect place to have a retired life.
