Q: If you had Chinese visitors come to your country what would you show them?
I Always find myself asking what to go and see when traveling overseas
but If the shoe was on the other foot what would I show them?
This is not limited to us Skips
What or where would you take visitors to see in your home country?

The beautiful Rocky Mountains in BC or AB, Canada. Take them to hot-springs, great pristine beaches, amazing fishing, remote lakes, hiking. Whatever they want, depending on what season.
In the city: dining, shopping, and maybe visit a university if they are interested, Go-karts, China town.
The usual stuff that almost everyone who visits me wants to see. Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Hollywood, Beaches, Rodeo Drive, world class restaurants and for Chinese, places that serve better Chinese food than they get in China.
Cornwall is my favourite part of Britain; beautiful countryside, great beaches, ancient history, a stone's throw from Stone Henge, in an area of the country which is scattered with marvelous and extraordinary crop circles, a fascination of mine (see avatar), great fudge, cream teas, fine cider, I never return to Britain without paying the area a visit.
philbravery:
Stone Henge is a rip off these days
when there in 1978 as a Kid and could go all over the place
in 2005 they wanted a large ransom to get close to them
not on my places to see anymore

True enough, it's just a bunch of big rocks, but that part of the county has an ancient voice that calls to me, it calls to me, it calls, "mArtiAAAAn.........mAAAAArtiAAAn.........i'm borrrrred........get us a beer, will you." It is a mysterious place indeed.
mArtiAn:
Don't know Looe, but i've been going to a place called Polzeath since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Lovely, saucy, busty women down that way too. "Oiroight moy lova!"
Ahhhh, mammmorieees........like the corrrner of my minnnd!
I'll take them on a tour across the country, from sea to the high mountain, with few stops in some historical places, and cities of different size.
Then - vacation on countryside, if winter - in the Tatra mountains, if summer - at the farm of one of my friends, enjoying polish traditional cuisine and also traditional distilled fluids, based on absolutely natural ingredients...
I live in Western New York State... this area is rife (RIFE!) with touristy things. There's Niagara falls and the Buffalo Zoo to my west; art galleries, museums, the Rochester Science museum and Letchworth State park (often touted as the Grand Canyon of the East) to my east. Batavia Downs (horse racing) to the north, and-- I'm not really sure what's south of me... I don't go that direction very often.
Depending on the time of year, this place is also crawling with craft, art, food and/or livestock shows. There are dairy and artisanal farms everywhere here (I'd love to show a Beijinger, Hong Konger or some other city-folk where food comes from).
Failing that, there's always swimming in the summer, hiking in the fall, and snow-tubing in the winter! (You know... to show some of the afore-mentioned city-folk what fresh air tastes like.)
I'd show them through a McDonald's drive-thru. Orderly queuing AND driving...SIMULTANEOUSLY. I'm sure that would blow their minds....
1. A clean restaurant
2. Children playing organized sports (Little league or minor hockey)
Come see my comfy bed, feels like floating on a cloud, instead of lying on a rock and it doesn't make noise. Here I'll show you...
All the London famous sights, (that takes at least 3 days if you are going to do them justice) obviously including a West End theatre show.
Cornwall, (probably a week)
Scottish highlands, (a week)
The Lake District, (a week)
Cumbria ( 3 days)
Snowdonia (3 days)
the rest of N. Wales (2 days)
Blackpool, (it's crap but got to be done) (2 days / 1 night), if the guests are gay go to Blackpool off season as it is a gay 'mecca' in the off season.
A premier football match, (soccer to our American 'cousins').
A premier rugby union match,
A true British tradition - the pub crawl.
That should do for the first month!
I would take them up Grouse mountain for some fantastic panoramic views.
philbravery:
Now that is worth seeing
funny thing I live near the coast and in tropical environment yet long for the cold and the mountains
I really need to move
