示范答案:
I’d like to recommend the West Lake, a famous scenic spot in my country, China.
First, what the tourist attraction is—West Lake is a large freshwater lake surrounded by hills and historic sites, known for its natural beauty and cultural significance.
Then, where it is—it’s located in the center of Hangzhou, a city in Zhejiang Province, in eastern China. Hangzhou is about an hour’s high-speed train ride from Shanghai, so it’s easy to reach.
As for what visitors can see and do there, there’s plenty to enjoy. You can take a boat ride on the lake to get a close look at iconic spots like the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (a small island with stone pagodas) and the Su Causeway (a long path lined with willow trees). On the shore, you can visit ancient temples like Lingyin Temple, or walk around the lake’s gardens to see cherry blossoms in spring or lotus flowers in summer. Many visitors also try local snacks nearby, like Dragon Well shrimp (cooked with Hangzhou’s famous Longjing tea).
Finally, why I recommend it—West Lake is a perfect mix of natural beauty and history. The scenery changes with every season, so it feels fresh no matter when you visit. Plus, it’s not just a pretty spot: it’s linked to many Chinese poems and stories (like the legend of the White Snake), which makes visiting it feel like stepping into a traditional Chinese painting. It’s relaxing, easy to explore, and shows the best of China’s landscape and culture.
