Do you want to travel abroad? If you do, here are some cities around the world you can consider traveling to.
Athens, Greece
It is the birthplace of Western civilization now almost 4,000 years old. Explore the Acropolis in Athens, and then visit the new Acropolis Museum to truly appreciate the ancient settlement. Walk in Socrates' footsteps around the Agora — the center of social activities in ancient Greece. Beyond the Acropolis, you can also explore the flea markets (跳蚤市场) of Monastiraki and Plaka.
Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is known as the city of naturally warm pools of water called spas. The Hungarian capital features 16thcentury Turkish pools as well as medicinal spas. Budapest is also a longtime “foodie city”. Try local specialties (招牌菜) like Hungarian goulash, rich with beef, onions, potatoes, and spices.
Queenstown, New Zealand
On New Zealand's beautiful South Island, Queenstown is one of the top places in the world for hiking, boating, and skiing. Nearby Milford Sound offers the peaceful beauty for which New Zealand is famous. Perhaps the most famous New Zealand product is the Lord of the Rings movies. Take a road trip and explore places where the movie was filmed.
Dubai, the United Arab Emirates
Dubai is a city famous for luxury (奢侈的) goods. One of its shopping centers even has an indoor ski slope. Dubai is also home of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. And the Burj AlArab hotel is on an artificial island in the Arabian Sea.
