  3. What country or city do you wish you could go to?

    The world is beautiful in many aspects - it depends on the matter of tastes - eliminating our likes from our dislikes. We all must open our minds from the undiscovered and areas of the world which all of us might find strange or perculiar at first - we cannot be tamed anymore from the unknown wilderness. We must seek this wilderness.

    Every cities in the world has its beauty spots with vast dazzling sceneries to its slums with its horrid zones with dreadful conditions of pollution, crime and violence.

    Every country in the world has its good and bad aspects. The world is our oyster. And we all must explore the beauty of the planet from the known to the unknown. We all must enlighten our minds to the unknown.

    In Western Europe -

    Paris - the essence growth of Renaissance. I have been to Paris on two occasions - I find it very symmetrical in layout and design. I love the Patisseries of Paris with the soft, tasty, succulent gateau which is a sweet culinary delight! Such as Paris unique pastry creations include the extreme (vanilla creme brulee with dark chocolate mousse on an almond biscuit) and the malicieux (a molten chocolate cake topped with caramel creme brulee). Tasty tarts in Paris are hard to resist, with countless delicious choices like apricot, pear Normande or pear amande (with egg custard or almond flour fillings respectively), rhubarb, or just plain apple.

    Rome - the beautiful designs and Ancient Roman Architecture - with its splendid monuments, mindbreaking architectural achievement - such as the Coliseum. Rome is Italy's capital and the seat of government. Though situated in the centre of Italy, Rome is regarded as a "Southern" city in its style and general outlook.

    For me personally now is China!!!!! China is the absolutely great unknown Dragon - the unexplored wilderness in the world. There are no questions to be ask on this?

    Description and many reasons why I choose China:

    The last hidden world, China. For centuries, travellers to China have told tales of magical landscapes and surprising creatures. Chinese civilisation is the world's oldest and today, its largest, with well over a billion people. It's home to more than 50 distinct ethnic groups and a wide range of traditional lifestyles, often in close partnership with nature. We know that China faces immense social and environmental problems. But there is great beauty in China, too. China is home to the world's highest mountains, vast deserts ranging from searing hot to mind-numbing cold. Steaming forests harbouring rare creatures. Grassy plains beneath vast horizons. And rich tropical seas. Now for the first time ever; China has open its doors to the world, the world can now explore the whole of this great country, meet some of the surprising and exotic creatures that live there and consider the relationship of the people and wildlife of China to the remarkable landscape in which they live. This is amazing China.

    The exploration and fascinating of China begins in the warm, subtropical south. On the Li River, fishermen and birds perch on bamboo rafts, a partnership that goes back more than a thousand years. This scenery is known throughout the world, a recurring motif in Chinese paintings. And a major tourist atttraction. The south of China is a vast area, eight times larger than the UK. It's a landscape of hills but also of water. It rains here for up to 250 days a year, and standing water is everywhere. In the floodplain of the Yangtze River, black-tailed godwits (a bird) probe the mud in search of worms. But isn't just wildlife that thrives in this environment. The swampy ground provides ideal conditions for a remarkable member of the grass family. Rice. The Chinese have been cultivating rice for at least 8,000 years. It has transformed the landscape. Late winter in southern Yunnan is a busy time for local farmers as they prepare the age-old paddy fields ready for the coming spring. The hill slopes of the Yuanyang County plunge nearly 2,000 metres to the floor of the Red River valley. Each contains literally thousands of stacked terraces carved out by hand using basic digging tools. Yunnans rice terraces are among the oldest human structures in China. Still ploughed, as they always have been, by domesticated water buffaloes, whose ancestors originated in the very valleys. This man-made landscape is one of the most amazing engineering feats of pre-industrial China. It seems as if every square inch of land has been pressed into cultivation.

    Beneath billowing clouds, in China's far south-western Yunnan Province - Shangri-La , lies a place of mystery and legend, of mighty rivers and some of the oldest jungles in the world. Here, hidden valleys nurture strange and unique creatures and colourful tribal cultures. Jungles are rarely found this far north of the tropics. So why do they thrive in Yunnan Province? And how has this rugged landscape come to harbour the greatest natural wealth in all China?

    The Tibetan plateau is a quarter of China. Much of it is extremely remote and inhospitable. Its southern border runs through the world's highest mountain range, the formidable Himalayas. Its central part is a windswept and freezing wilderness the size of Western Europe. But this challenging place is home to incredible wildlife. There are more large creatures here than anywhere else in China. Tibet has been a province of China for more than 50 years, yet it has a unique character, shaped by over 1,000 years of Tibetan Buddhism. This obscure and archaic looking religion has produced one of the most enlightened cultures on earth. In Tibet - the people have a long tradition of co-existing peacefully with the creatures and landscapes around them, a relationship which has helped to protect their fragile environment. I hope we will all discover why this harsh land of Tibet with its ancient culture is vitally important for much of our planet.

    The Great Wall of China was built by the Han Chinese to keep out the nomadic tribes from the north. They called these people barbarians, and their lands were considered barren and uninhabitable. Northern China is indeed a harsh place of terrible winters, ferocious summers, parched deserts. But it is far from lifeless. With colourfull places, surprising creatures, amazing people and strange landscapes. The further we travel the more extreme it becomes. So how do people and wildlife cope with the hardships and challenges of life beyond the wall?

    Protected by the the Great Wall in the north, and fed by the Yellow and Yangtze rivers, China's eastern heartland is the centre of a flourishing civilisation which spans more than 5,000 years. To outsiders this is a mysterious land. It contains dazzling man-made structures. And it's home to some of China's rarest and most charismatic creatures. The people who live in China's eastern heartland, the Han Chinese, comprise the largest ethnic group in the world, and their language, Mandarin, is the world's oldest and most widely spoken language. In the last 50 years China has seen massive development, bringing many environment problems. But the relationship of the Chinese to their environment and its creatures is in fact deep, complex and extraordinary.

    From the eastern end of the Great Wall, China's coast spans 14,500 kilometres and more than 5,000 years of history. This is the area which shows the greatest contrast between China's past and its future. Today China's eastern seaboard is home to 700 million people, packed into some of the most dazzling hi-tech cities on earth. Yet these crowded shores remain hugely important for a wealth of wildlife. Now, as ancient traditions mingle with new aspirations, is there any room at all for wildlife on China's crowded shores?

    These are the very reasons why I am so interested in China right now with its endless tales and undiscovered areas for the outsiders of China.
