關注社會:中國正在消失的十大絕色美景

四川阿壩

Almost without noticing, once the most beautiful landscapes in China are fading away silently. While they are strong enough to have survived thousands of years on earth, they are so fragile in the face of earthquakes, global warming, deforestation, overgrazing as well as natural erosions. Still, for travelers, it's always better late than never to see these wonders while they are still there.
不經意間，中國的絕色美景正在悄然逝去。歷經千年的洗禮，在面對地震、氣候變暖、森林砍伐、過度放牧等自然或人爲的變遷時，它們依舊脆弱不堪。對於旅行者而言，抓緊時間多看一眼這樣的美景，不要讓它們只在記憶中閃現，定格在曾經的美麗。
