1.What kind of places of interest do people in your country often like to visit?
I think that there are usually 2 main kinds of places of interest. The first one is the historical site,
with old buildings, such as a palace, a temple, or an old quarter with old streets and traditional
architecture. The second type is the beautiful scenic places
．
Tourists go there to appreciate (=enjoy)
the stunning landscapes, and also these destinations are supposed to be relaxing. It's very popular
for people to visit national parks such as Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province, with its amazing lakes and
waterfalls. In China, we like to climb mountains and enjoy a spectacular view from the top

mountains in my country.
2. Do you think that a person's age affects what they consider to be "a place of
interest"?
Definitely
！
I guess I suppose) that some older people might not find it very interesting to visit a
modern city, because they might think that every city looks the same. On the other hand, children
might get excited at the idea of visiting a theme park such as Disneyland in Hong Kong, but their
parents would probably not consider this park as "a place of interest" because it is not natural or
historical. Elderly people would agree it could be interesting for young people but they would tell
you they have no desire (whatsoever) to go there.
3. Do you think that places of interest often also have some educational value?
Yes, without a doubt. Many tourists decide to take a tour of visit) historical sites such as the old
hutong streets in Beijing, you know, the very ancient and narrow alleys in the city, or they go to the
Summer Palace or the Forbidden City. When they visit such places, travelers can find out about the
past, and imagine what fife used to be like during the Ming and Qing dynasties. When people visit
some national parks, or some scenic destinations like Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province, they can
realize how beautiful China really is. In addition, we always have different legends about these
stunning places, like how they were created or which emperor or sage a wise man) has visited it. I
think there is always something to learn when you travel.
