1 . Apart from London’s centre, there are plenty of great attractions and places of interest on the suburbs of the city. Here are some of them.
Hounslow Urban Farm
Built over twenty years ago, the farm is a great place to take young children to get close to the animals. Cows, pigs, sheep and rabbits are among the residents on the farm, which is open throughout the week. There are fun activities every day, such as hunting, and horse riding. What we may not know is that the animals here can be adopted (领养).
Twickenham Stadium
This is the ground where the 2015 Rugby World Cup Final was played. Built in 1908, Twickenham Stadium is also the place for England to test its international team and the Six Nations. On non-match days,many people visit Twickenham Stadium to explore the World Rugby Museum inside. As well as being used for sporting events,many singers have held concerts here.
Legoland Windsor
Built in 1996 as a family theme park, the park is themed around the popular Lego (乐高) toy system. The park holds tiny views of famous British landmarks, including Big Ben, the London Eye, the Guildhall and the River Thames, all built with Lego blocks, making it Britain’s one of the most popular theme parks. Given the pricey admission, this is typically a good choice for those who are financially prepared.
Ham House
Ham House, an amazing ancient building, is a Grade I listed building which lies just to the south of Richmond beside the River Thames. Completed in 1610, it is surrounded by several parks and gardens, which can be explored by members of the public. The house contains plenty of period masterpieces, including furniture and artworks.

Last year, I went to Hainan Island with my friends and stay there for two days. Hainan Island, a beautiful tourist attraction, located on the south of China, is well know for its beautiful blue sea and pleasant beaches with golden sands. On the first day, they went to the seaside and hiked here. It was so exciting for me to walking on the sands, leaving me some unforgettable memory. On the second day, we had some local food but sweet fresh juice. We spent that night in a tent, which was made us happy. In a word, we had good holiday on Hainan Island.

5 . Basel is often referred to as the cultural capital of Switzerland, but what exactly can you do in this Swiss city?
●The Rhein
In summer, it is common for locals and tourists alike to go for a refreshing swim in the river which runs through this beautiful city. When autumn and winter come along, swimming is replaced by walking along the river banks. I did see a very brave man take a dip in the dropping temperatures of late October, so anything is possible!
●The museums
Basel has a lot to offer in terms of museums, from the mechanical art in the Tinguely Museum to exploring the world of writing and printing in the Paper Museum, the skeletons of the Natural History Museum and discovering the city’s past in the History Center.
●The Old Town
This city is still a beautiful place with a long history, lots of cute cobbled streets, a bright red town hall and a great cathedral. In contrast, the city is also proud of Switzerland’s tallest building: the Roche tower.
●Go on a hike
If you’re more of a nature fan. Basel-Landschaft has many beautiful hiking trails to choose from such as hills, forests and beautiful rivers. And of course you deserve a treat of Swiss chocolate afterwards!
●Eat
If you’re in Switzerland, don’t forget to let your tongue experience the bubbling cheese, toasty raclette and foamy drinks or chocolate kisses! You won’t go hungry here. Of course, the rest of Switzerland also has much to offer, and thanks to great rail services, it can all be yours within an hour or two. Greetings from Basel! Hope to see you here soon.
