主題語境:人與社會(huì) 篇幅:392 詞 關(guān)鍵詞:travel, blind box
1 Travel is like a box of chocolate—younever know what youre going to get, especiallywhen youre using a mystery box plane ticket.
2 The specifics of each companys travelmystery box may be different, but the main ideais the same: After you buy a mystery box at a low price—usually 100 or 200 yuan—and se?lect your departure airport, you will receive several destination options to choose from.Then you have a year to take your flight.
3 But these options are usually less popular destinations, like the one Fan Zhihua gotin the very first mystery box plane ticket she bought in March. The 29?year?old went toZhangye in Northwest China's Gansu Province.
4“ I move to a new city every two years. And I would always give myself a gapmonth or two in between jobs to do some traveling,” said the young woman, whoenjoys going wherever she wants, whenever she wants,“ free as a bird”.
5 Liao Liangyu, 16, has turned his eagerness to go on a mystery box trip into reality.He took a mystery box trip with a couple of friends months ago. It started when one of themgot a mystery box ticket to Changsha, the capital city of Hunan Province.
6 Surprisingly, Liao followed suit and got Changsha too. Right before their departure, afriend told Liao that Changsha was a super hyped?up Internet sensation (網(wǎng)紅地). But hestill decided to go and see it for himself.“ My biggest discovery is that in Changsha you cansee skyscrapers and old houses in rundown alleys in the same view.”
7 Since the destination options include many less popular cities, travel mystery boxes?also bring vigor and economic benefits to these destinations. For example, Dehong City is abeautiful city in Yunnan Province yet has few visitors due to a lack of promotion. Followingits inclusion as a mystery box travel destination, however, it has gained a lot of attentionand is now thought of as a solid location for tourism.
8 But even so, a large number of people feel disappointed with travel mysteryboxes because they can encounter many problems after purchasing one, such as inap?propriate travel times, sudden flight cancellations, or even challenges with refunds (退款). Experts suggested that visitors should choose reliable platforms and sign contracts toguarantee their interests.
