充满茶香的一天 A brew-tea-ful day

国际茶日

没有什么能比得上一杯好茶！无论您喜欢大吉岭茶、伯爵茶、乌龙茶、抹茶，还是英式早餐茶，今天都是为这个受人喜爱的饮品而庆祝的日子——因为5月21日是国际茶日。人类饮茶的历史至少有5000年了，它起源中国，在16世纪和17世纪，西方商人通过丝绸之路将茶叶引入欧洲，并逐渐传播到世界各地。现在，茶已成为仅次于水的世界第二大饮料。

今天的照片将我们带到金马仑高原的茶园。金马仑高原位于吉隆坡以北约120英里处，气候凉爽，海拔较高，非常适合种植茶叶。该地区是著名的旅游胜地，为游客提供了迷人的景观，包括连绵起伏的丘陵、高耸入云的山脉和古老的云雾森林。

International Tea Day

There's nothing quite like a nice cup of tea. Whether you like Darjeeling, Earl Grey, oolong, matcha, or English breakfast, today's the day to celebrate this beloved brew: May 21 is International Tea Day. People have been drinking tea for at least 5,000 years. The drink originated in China, but in the 16th and 17th centuries, it was introduced to Western merchants, who helped to spread it around the world. It is now the second-most consumed drink in the world after water.

Today's photo takes us to Malaysia and the tea plantations of the Cameron Highlands. Located around 120 miles north of Kuala Lumpur, the Cameron Highlands' cooler climate and high altitude make it perfect for tea growing. The area is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors stunning landscapes to explore, including rolling hills, towering mountains, and an ancient cloud forest.

历史与大海的交汇处 Where history meets the sea

韦尔纳扎，五渔村，利古里亚，意大利

韦尔纳扎是意大利西北部五渔村的一个村庄，坐落在意大利里维埃拉崎岖的悬崖上。在这里，古建筑矗立在利古里亚海的海岸线上，生活中充满了渔民的喧嚣。韦尔纳扎（Vernazza）得名于当地一种名为“Vernaccia”的葡萄酒，“Vernaccia”这个词的意思是“本地的”或“我们的”。该地区最著名的古迹之一是多利亚城堡，建于15世纪，是一个防御堡垒，用于保护村庄免受频繁的海盗袭击。由于19世纪热那亚-拉斯佩齐亚铁路的修建，该村的陆路交通变得更加便利。鹅卵石铺就的街道没有汽车，非常适合步行游览。在这里，你可能想参观圣玛尔塔教堂和雷焦圣母圣殿。你知道吗，这里还是2021年动画电影《卢卡》的灵感来源！韦尔纳扎不仅仅是一个旅游胜地，它还是为那些追求意大利最纯粹灵魂的人准备的一片世外桃源。

Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy

Perched on the rugged cliffs of the Italian Riviera, Vernazza is one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre area of northwestern Italy. Here, ancient buildings stand along the coastline of the Ligurian Sea, and life is filled with the hustle and bustle of the fishing industry. Vernazza got its name from the indigenous wine, 'vernaccia,' meaning 'local' or 'ours.' One of the best-known monuments in the area is the medieval Doria Castle, built as a defensive fortress to protect the village from frequent pirate attacks. Thanks to the construction of the Genoa–La Spezia rail line in the 19th century, the village became more accessible by land. The car-free cobblestone streets are ideal for walking around. While here, you might want to visit the Chapel of Santa Marta and the Sanctuary of Madonna di Reggio. Vernazza is sometimes described as the pearl of the Cinque Terre with its natural port, colorful houses, and green terraces overlooking a sparkling sea.
