[speaker001:] the May holiday is coming up soon. Are you planning on going on vacation?
[speaker002:] I am. I just went to the travel agent 's and picked up these brochures.
[speaker001:] where are you planning on going?
[speaker002:] I fancy going to Tibet for a few days. Have you ever been there?
[speaker001:] I went a long time ago, before they built the new train that can take you there.
[speaker002:] would you recommend going there for a few days?
[speaker001:] personally, I think it 'd be better to go when you have more time. A few days isn 't really enough to get acclimatize yourself and to go on a few excursions outside of the capital.
[speaker002:] you 're probably right. What do you think about Yangshao?
[speaker001:] it 's a beautiful city, but I think it 's become too touristy. How about going to a cosmopolitan city like Shanghai or Hong Kong?
[speaker002:] I 'd like to get away from the big city life.
[speaker001:] maybe you should consider going to a hot springs resort outside of Beijing. I heard they are very relaxing.
[speaker002:] I guess if I only have a few days, I should probably think about going somewhere that isn 't far away.
[speaker001:] since the May holiday is the high season, you should probably call ahead to reserve a room. Here 's the phone number.
[speaker002:] thanks; I 'll give them a call later.
