Kronborg Castle
Kronborg has for quite some time been viewed as á significant illustration(例证) of a Renaissance(文艺复兴)palace. Development started in 1574 on an especially éssential strètch(延伸) of land on the Sound, the waterway that shapes a boundary between Denmark and Sweden. For quite a long time it safeguarded the Danish public and improved the terrific causes of state leaders.
Lair Gamle By
Anybody who gave to history won’t have any desire to miss this outdoor gallery in the city of Aarhus. Laid out in 1909, the gallery includes almost 100 authentic designs gathered from all edges of Denmark. A large part of the exhibition hall is built to look like what a town could have looked like during the lifetime of Hans Christian Andersen. Grown-ups and youngsters thoroughly enjoy the toy gallery, and few can oppose the charm of costumed re-enactors(重演者)exhibiting the way of life of a past period.
Legoland Billund
Open to the public in 1968, this attraction is particularly for children. The miniland show is especially attractive with its small presentation of numerous widely popular structures and places. It develops more than 50 million LEGO blocks. LEGOREDO Town provides visitors with a wild west feeling of experience while Knights’ Kingdom lays everything out for fantasy investigation.
Little Mermaid
The sculpture of The Little Mermaid sits on a stone in the Copenhagen harbor at Langelinie in Denmark. Sightseers visiting interestingly are much of the time amazed by the moderately little size of the sculpture. The Little Mermaid sculpture is just 1.25 metres highand weighs around 175 kg.

6 . The rapid and uncontrolled expansion of today’s cities is causing anxiety not only among urban planners and architects, but also experts in the field of public health. They are alarmed that the disorder of the urban expansion is robbing the population of its basic health and well-being through environmental pollution, inadequate housing and the increasing numbers of neighbors who do not know neighbors.
Beijing, a city of over 21 million residents, is an example of this social isolation. Until the early 1980s, the Chinese capital, was constructed as quantities of Siheyuan. This open structure greatly strengthened contact between neighbors, encouraged the sharing of resources, and formed close relations between families. Because of these characteristics, these structures were described as “collections of small rural villages”. Until the mid-1980s, only a few skyscrapers disrupted the harmony of the landscape. Today Beijing has the look and feel of a modern city, where these “small rural villages” have been replaced by towering skyscrapers. This striking change is not limited to outer structures; it has also dramatically changed the closeness of human relations.
Physical isolation has destroyed the local sense of solidarity (团结), and contributed to the destruction of what were once united family groups. As the distance between home and the workplace has also increased considerably, workers now find themselves devoting what was once valuable family time to exhausting commutes in overcrowded buses or subways.
The disordered growth of today’s cities can no longer be ignored. The great challenge is how to improve the quality of urban life by ensuring harmonious growth. Skyscrapers should not be the only view people can see in a city. Old-fashioned but unique architecture reflects history, character — even the culture of a city. Cities should learn from the experiences of other cities with similar characteristics. This effort requires not only the participation of urban planners but public health and environmental experts, politicians, and fundamentally, the communities themselves.

9 . Thinking about going camping? You might want to try one of these campsites for quality and comfort!
Playa Montroig Camping Resort, Tarragona (Spain)
This Spanish campsite is a great family destination, with prices ranging from €20 to €60 a night. You’ll be able to enjoy the sunshine on the beach by day, and explore historic Tarragona at night. The site has restaurants that offer traditional Spanish dishes such as Gambas al Ajillo and Albondigas.
RCN Val de Cantobre, Aveyron (France)
France’s number one campsite is in the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park in the Tarn area. The campsite is in the grounds of a medieval house. There’s a swimming pool, a river and a pizzeria all on site. The scenery around the park is beautiful and great for walking. A week’s stay will cost you about €300.
Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand)
Instead of tents, there are canvas cabins (帆布小屋) with showers and modern conveniences. Plus, there’s a gourmet restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15 cabins to rent so you’ll have to reserve your spot before availability runs out. The camp is only accessible by riverboat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant. Unfortunately, this sort of luxury isn’t cheap, and two nights at the Four Seasons will cost you about €1, 500!
Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales)
There is a camp shop where you can buy food and drink, and there are pubs and restaurants nearby so you won’t even have to cook. You can waterski from the beach, or go walking along the Gower Way, a 50-kilometre nature trail which passes close to the campsite. A family tent (2 adults, 2 children) is about €28 a day.
