Central Park
As one of the most famous parks in the world, Central Park is a man-made wonder. Not only is it the first public park built in America, but it is also one of the most frequently visited parks, with over 25 million guests per year. Set in the middle of busy Manhattan, its grounds serve as a safe harbor, not only for athletes and musicians but also for lots of migratory(迁移的)birds each year.
Washington Square Park
Washington Square Park, located in the heart of Greenwich Village, is a very popular and often crowded square. It was originally known as Southeast Square. In 1825, the square was renamed in honor of George Washington. People from all backgrounds gather to this large square dotted with trees.

5 . Top Cities to Visit in Italy
Venice
Venice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy's most beautiful and romantic cities. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark's Basilica. Wandering along Venice's canals and getting lost in its narrow streets must be appealing. Venice is in the northeast of Italy and historically was a bridge between East and West—its architecture retains a Byzantine feel not really found elsewhere in Italy.
Milan
Milan, one of Europe's wealthiest cities, is known for stylish shops, galleries, and restaurants. It also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble facade(大理石外墙), is magnificent, Da Vinci's painting The Last Supper, which is in Santa Maria Delle Grazie, is one of Milan's top attractions. La Scala is one of the world's most famous opera houses.
Naples
Naples is one of Italy's most lively cities. It lies on the coast south of Rome and is the most important city in southern Italy. Naples retains much of its Baroque character and is a starting point for trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Amalfi Coast. It holds many historical and artistic treasures, and is famous for its pizza and desserts!
Bologna
Bologna is known for its beauty, wealth and cuisine. Its flat streets are lined with arcades (拱廊), making it a good walking city in every kind of weather. Bologna is the biggest city in northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region and its Piazza Maggiore is one of the biggest squares in Europe. Even among Italians, it's considered the culinary capital of the country.

7 . If you’re looking to start your own checklist of places to visit during your life, begin with our list of the top tourist attractions in the world.
Petra, Jordan
You may have an Indiana Jones feeling as you walk through a 1.2-kilometer-long narrow crack (裂缝) in the sandstone hills and get into a hidden city. First built over 2,000 years ago and lost to the outside world for 600 years, the city was only discovered in 1812.
Fantastic buildings are built directly into the red rock walls and are wonderfully preserved, just begging to be explored and photographed.
Grand Canyon, USA
The greatest natural attraction in the United States, the Grand Canyon is a key sight for all travelers planning their lifetime of adventures. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, looking out over the carved landscape, will awaken your senses.
Stonehenge, England
Stonehenge is one of those places that makes you consider what went on here over 4,500 years ago. It’s long been a mystery to historians, and has caught the imagination of countless visitors. Despite the large number of tourists that stand on Stonehenge, the place still has a mystical feel.
Niagara Falls, Canada & USA
On the edge between the United States and Canada, these great falls have been drawing explorers and travelers for centuries. Just over an hour from the city of Toronto, Niagara Falls is easy to get to, and the town is a fun place to spend a night or two.
Walk up to the edge of the falls, wander along the paved walk (人行道) lining the gorge (峡谷) for different views, or take a boat tour for a close-up look at the water pouring over the lip of the gorge above you. For a bird’s-eye view, head up the Skylon Tower to look out over the falls.

8 . For some in China, the aim of travel is to create 15-second videos on a social-media app, dou yin. As a matter of fact, tourism is for recreation and leisure. The world Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four hours. Nowadays, apart from the traditional forms, a variety of new types of traveling are emerging.
Experiential travel
Last year’s travel trend was “experiential travel”. This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and interact with local people so they feel less like an outsider but more like a resident.
Transformative travel
It usually goes through three stages—you go to a place that has a very different background than where you come from, you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet, and finally you return home and apply the knowledge to your own life and the lives of those around you.
This last stage is how the “transformation” is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel.
Eco-friendly travel
One way to plan a low-impact trip is to travel a shorter distance, which can reduce your carbon footprint. “One trans-Atlantic flight equals a year’s worth of driving, so consider planning an adventure closer to home,” according to US News.
Dark travel
Chernobyl is one of the most popular examples of the phenomenon known as dark tourism-a term for visiting sites associated with death and suffering, such as Nazi concentration camps in Europe or the 9/11Memorial and Museum in New York.
1. In which column can we read this passage in the newspaper?A.Science. | B.News. | C.Sports. | D.Tourism. |
A.feel less like a local resident. | B.reduce carbon emission. |
C.apply the knowledge to your own life. | D.pay a visit to the sites related to sufferings. |
