Answer 4

Chennai is a hot place.  High end shopping places are less, cant find many upscale malls and eateries. Moreover it has strict rules against partying and i have heared its a dry state.  For the spiritually inclined and   research nerds this location would suite.  However  partygoers and guzzlers stay away from  Chennai. It would be good if we you get DVD's of the these places of attraction  and watch  them from your couch  in an AC room  emptying your favourite drinks and muching on lays.

Answer 5

Marina beach

Mammalapuram rock temples

Auroville

Answer 6

I don't like your question at all. I would have liked your question if it were like this:

"What are all not there in chennai to attract tourists?".

There are so many Tourists Spots. It's one of the most densely populated cities in India and capital city of the state Tamil Nadu. So, it has a lot of Tourist Attractions. There are so many Ancient Hindu Temples, which can't be forgotten in life. You also have amusement parks, but they're all in the outskirts of the city. Not very far from the city though.

Then you've:

Marina Beach: Stretching over 13 kilometers this popular beach is the second longest beach in Asia.

Fort St George: Built by the British East India Company in 1653 this fort houses St Mary's Church, the first British Church in Chennai and has a museum with a collection of British and French historical artifacts. It is currently used as the State Secretariat or seat of local government.

Eliot Beach: A pleasant seaside attraction, this beach is a popular getaway.

Covelong Beach:

This picturesque beach also has a fort, church and mosque that are worth seeing.

Crocodile Bank: Located 44 km away from the city, this institution is dedicated to the conservation of Indian crocodiles and is home to a number of rare species of crocodiles, alligators, gharials and other reptiles.

Kapaleshwara Temple: This temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is the oldest temple in Chennai. Built in the 13th century, it exemplifies the architectural skills of the Dravidian sculptors and craftsmen.

Valluvar Kottam: The majestic memorial named after Thiruvalluvar, the great philosopher and Saint and author of the philosophical treatise the Thirukkural, it functions as an auditorium. The stone car outside is a great attraction.
