2 . Some Favorite European Attractions for Chinese Tourists

Bicester Village

The outskirts of the Oxfordshire town is the second most visited UK attraction for Chinese tourists — after Buckingham Palace. Three in four Chinese visitors head to Bicester aided by Mandarin signs and announcements at London Marylebone; others travel by tour bus.

King’ s College, Cambridge

A famous tree — for Chinese people at least — can be found in King ‘ s College, Cambridge. The willow, ignored by most, is mentioned in a much - loved poem by Xu Zhimo, “Taking Leave of Cam - bridge Again.” Xu spent a year studying at King’s College , where he was entranced (使入迷) by the works of Keats and Shelley , before returning to China to lead its modern poetry movement . Xu died at the age of just 34 in a plane crash and the willow is now considered by his fans to be a mark. A memorial stone can be found beside the tree—an essential spot for Chinese tourists to take a photo.

Outletcity

Germany’s answer to Bicester Village is Outletcity in Metzingen, the town in Baden - Wurttem - berg, close to Frankfurt, where Hugo Boss was founded. It has little to attract anyone beyond scores of factories. Hugo Boss was the first, but Prada, Nike, Burberry, Armani and Gucci have since followed suit.

Bonn

The former West German capital is another popular port of all. Chinese people love classical music— particularly Beethoven— making his birthplace an obvious highlight of any trip to Europe. The city’s tourist board offers maps in three foreign languages: English, Chinese and Japanese.

Verona

Both British and Chinese travellers like Venice, Rome and Florence — but Verona typically appears higher on the wish lists of China ‘ s tourists. That’s because of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The play is popular on UK shores, of course, but the love is doubled in China as it was among the first of the Shakespeare’s works to be translated into Mandarin, while its plot is similar to a famous Chinese folk tale, The Butter fly Lovers.

3 . New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it.    1    There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.

Do your homework    2    Guides will help you when you get to site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You’d better check it out.

    3    Don’t go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants.Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers .

Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows.    4    This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.

And here’s the big one—good manners are nearly universal.    5    If that doesn’t sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.

A．Experience the place.

B．Always have a cloth bag with you .

C．Read up on the places you want to visit.

D．Try to buy something from the local stores.

E．A good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive.

F．We’ve cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories.

G．If we are good tourists, wherever we go, we try to make it a little better because of our visit.
