Buses used to be one of the main vehicles for Chinese people. Recently，due to the increasing number of private cars, the traffic problems in cities become more serious. In order to encourage the public to take buses instead of private cars, many cities manage to improve their buses' quality of service.
The facilities of buses have been upgraded，and the speed increased significantly. However, more and more people cycle to work to keep fit, and some people choose to walk to places nearby, such as going to the supermarket to do some shopping.
Nowadays, with the development of the economy and the improvement of living standard， an increasing number of Chinese, including many peasants and migrant workers can go by air. Besides, a considerable number of cities in China have begun to build subways, which has the advantage of safety, speed and comfort and can reduce air pollution.
All in all, it is easier for people to go out due to the development of transportation. People can choose different means of transportation to go out, People more concentrate on protecting the environment. Making friends with nature will come true in the future.

The term remote management is used to describe any process in which he controlling device is not physically attached to the actual unit. There are four aspects to this process: the communication method, the level of control, the operator training and the performance(性 能) issues. The remote management system is primarily used to improve safety and increase productivity.
Remote management can be applied to many fields such as the construction, mining, transportation and information technology industries. There are more and more devices that can be managed remotely because of the improved quality of computer programming and system designs. The increased leverage(影响力) of this technology is providing new opportunities for machine and heavy equipment design.
The communication method used in a remote management system is dependent upon the intended application. For example, communication with a drilling machine in a mine cannot be based on a clear line of sight between the operator and the machine. Instead, a dedicated radio frequency or wireless communication channel is needed. The number of other machines and units controlled via a remote management system has a huge impact on the effectiveness of the communication method. Each unit must be controlled separately, with no interference from other devices,
The level of control provided via remote management is also very important. Initially, most of the equipment was very large, and the technology was used to get close enough for manual control. However, operators now require a high degree of precision and control. The tools used to control the equipment are so sophisticated(精良的)that they can be used to create a program or to move the machine in very small progress.
The remote management operator typically sits in a separate location and is responsible for controlling the equipment based on video feed similar information. The training required to work with this type of equipment is usually provided by the employer, because every system is different. The increased use of these tools has resulted in the development of short courses and training programs designed specifically to increase the skill level of the operator.
One of the challenges of remote management is related to overall performance. Operator expectations can be excessively influenced by images in the media of remote controlled robots that can be easily controlled with great precision. In fact, a significant amount of programming and effort is required to complete a process with a remote controlled device. Most of the adjustments that an operator would make require additional time to carry out in this model.

The view from the top of Marina Bay Sands, a giant hotel, mall and casino, takes in the skyscrapers of Singapore, the fleets of ships entering and leaving the city's ports, the scattered tropical islands of the Singapore Strait and the crowds of soggy but determined selfie- takers trying to capture a perfect image of it all from the enormous infinity pool. Among the celebrities the hotel has lured (吸引) for a damp snap are Jing Boran and Fu Xinbo, Chinese film and music stars. China Daily, a Chinese state-owned newspaper, has declared the spot the eighth most romantic in the world. The place displays itself all over Chinese social media and offers special discounts and packages to visitors from China.
Such spin is increasingly important. Last year, for the first time, China was the biggest source of tourists to Singapore, accounting for 3. 2m of its 17. 4m visitors. Between January and September alone they spent more than $3bn ($ 2.3bn).
All across South-East Asia， tourism is booming. The number of visitors jumped by 49% between 2010 and 2015， to more than 109m. Tourism in Asia and the Pacific is growing faster than anywhere else in the world. The region receives a quarter of the world's holidaymakers (Europe’s share is still a half).
South-East Asia’s Edenic islands, ancient temples and delicious food are strong enticements (诱惑，怂恿). Visitors also flock to countries with cheap currencies: the weakness of the ringgit last year helped draw visitors to Malaysia, for example. Many countries in the region depend on the cash: tourism accounts for about 28% of Cambodia’s GDP and more than 20% of Thailand’s.
The most remarkable growth has been in tourists from China. The number visiting South-East Asia has increased fivefold over the past decade. Newly wealthy Chinese spent almost $ 26lbn travelling abroad in 2016, up from $73bn in 2011.
Indonesia, for one, has relaxed its visa rules to attract more of them. More seats on cheap flights have also helped pull in tourists: between 2013 and 2016 the number available each week on flights to South East Asia from China increased from 92,000 to 188,500.
But for the frenzied holidaying to continue to grow, infrastructure must improve, reckons Paul Yong of DBS, a Singaporean bank. Airports in places such as Manila and Jakarta are crumbling and surrounded by snaking traffic. Plans are afoot to increase annual capacity at Bangkok’s airports by tens of millions over the next four years. Hanoi’s Noi Bai will be expanded at a cost of $5.5bn to accommodate 35m passengers by 2020. Airports in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are to be upgraded too.
Other threats to thriving tourism are far harder to plan around, Travel operators tremble at the thought of economic downturns, volcanic eruptions and epidemic diseases. The head of one luxury holiday company says the regional outbreak of SARS, a respiratory disease, more than 15 years ago almost brought the industry to its knees. Political spats between China and its neighbours are another problem. So too is the manner in which Chinese visitors have been vilified in the region for snaffling prawns at buffets, barging into queues and misbehaving on planes. It makes many of them feel unwanted. But given that just 135m of China's 1. 4bn people have ever travelled abroad, South East Asian countries should prepare to welcome many more Chinese — even when they clog up the infinity pool.
