4 . Enveloped by history, style and culture, the City of Light has more than enough to draw visitors all year around. But there are certain times of year when a trip to Paris can be extra-special.

Paris Fashion Week

When: Men June/July; women March and September/October

In 1943 the world’s first “fashion week” took place in New York. The idea? To offer the Big Apple’s fashion buyers alternatives to the French dresses they were missing out on during the war. Today Paris can claim to be the world’s style capital, with people pouring to its annual fashion weeks. Wear your best dress around the Tuileries Garden and a street-style photographer may even stop you for a shot.

Music Festival

When: June

The streets of Paris come alive with the sound of music every June as free parties and concerts ring throughout the city. The Arab World Institute, the Louvre and Place Denfert-Rochereau are among the best party spots-though we recommend simply wandering. Expect surprises around every corner.

Bastille Day

When: July

On July 14 France marks the storming of the Bastille prison — a turning point in the French Revolution. In the morning crowds gather to watch a military parade along the Champs Elysees. Come evening, up to a million people gather as fireworks are set off from the base of the Eiffel Tower. Advantageous position? The top of the Belville Park. Get down early and bring a picnic chair.

Grape Harvest Festival

When: October

You may have dropped by the Montmartre Museum. But what about the private grape plantation around the back of Paris’s hilliest neighborhood? Every year locals come together to celebrate the distinctive grape wine produced here. There’s a charity wine sale, dance parties and, of course, plenty of tasting.

And though there is much to be said about a trip to Sanya,     3     (undeniable) the most popular destination on Hainan, there is a strong case to be made for another city on this picturesque tropical island.

Many of the buildings have not been touched since their     7     (construct) in the early 20th century.     8     (explorer) the narrow streets with their mix of Western and Chinese stores and you will immerse yourself in the everyday lives of the local people, who are particularly welcome to inquisitive travelers.
