e.g. If we can't go to huashan Mountain,We'll go to city of XI'an for the trip instead.
如果我们不能去爬华山，我们应运西安游玩。
分析：
instead 是副词，常置于句子末尾。instead of 是介词短语，后接名词、代词、动名词等。
例如：
Last summer I want to Qingdao.This summer I'm going to Dalian instead.
去年夏天我去了青岛。今年夏天我去了大连。
Instead of going to Qingdao I'm going to Dalian this year.
今年我打算去大连，而不去青岛。
