閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的 A、B、C、D 四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
As one of the world’s most ancient civilizations, China offers wonderful opportunities to explore wonderful relics from its rich past. Here is our pick of the best places to visit in China.
A Tiger Leaping Gorge — Best landscape to hike
One of China’s most famous hiking places, this 22km trail winds through a World Heritage-listed gorge in Yunnan that is one of Asia’s most striking landscapes. Framed by spectacular snow-capped mountains and the scenic Jinshajiang River, it is in depths of 3900m, making it one of the deepest gorges in the world.
B. Zhangjiajie — Best dramatic landscapes
Rising dramatically from the subtropical forests of northwest Hunan, the peak rock formations of Zhangjiajie inspired the scenery in the film Avatar (2009). Take it all in as you walk over a glass-bottom suspension bridge floating 300m above ground. And if that’s not daring enough, you can bungee jump off it too!
C. Shanghai —
Elegant, historic and cosmopolitan — everything you’ve heard about Shanghai is true. Just take a walk through the French Concession or along the Bund and you’ll see for yourself. From the grand display of 1920s architecture and the city’s sophisticated restaurants, Shanghai is past and future China brought to life.
D. Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang — Best Buddhist art
Sitting along the ancient Silk Road, Dunhuang is home to one of the world’s most important collections of Buddhist art. Among more than 490 Buddhist caves in the area, the mural (壁畫) and statue-filled Mogao Grottoes represent perhaps the top of Buddhist artistry in China.

Take it all in as you walk over a glass-bottom suspension bridge floating 300m above ground. And if that’s not daring enough, you can bungee jump off it too!(張家界高聳于湖南西北部的亞熱帶森林之中，是電影《阿凡達》(2009)的靈感來源。當你走在離地面300米的玻璃吊橋上時，你會領略到這一切。如果這還不夠大膽，你還可以蹦極！)”可知，它們都有壯麗的山脈。故選C項。
