I am from Malaysia. My country has a lot of beautiful beaches and interesting places to visit. I myself didn't get managed to go to all the places here.
However, if someone ask me what is the place that symbolize Malaysia, I would suggest several places.
For people who like to visit calm environment and nice scenery place, I would suggest you to visit Kota Kinabalu in Sabah for its beautiful beaches and lots of other interesting place to go. You can also go for East Peninsular, which has lots of beautiful island that provide interesting experience for scuba diving and fishing.
For people who like travel to see cultural and historic places, you can go Malacca, which maintained their historical and cultural since hundreds years ago. You can find lots of old building, varieties of foods and even multi-racial people here. You are going to walk here a lot since this place is small and close to each other.
For people who like to shop, Kuala Lumpur is the central of trading for Malaysia. Being the capital city, it provide lots of nice goods ranging from clothes, electronic, accesories and etc. The price range also quite affordable and reasonable.
For people who like to try variety of foods, Mlaysia is really famous for its food. This is probably due to multi-racial people that live in malaysia, We have Malays, Chinese, Indian, local and others. Some of other race cultures has been adapted to our style of cooking, and it made our foods unique. You can go to almost anywhere to get variety and tasty foods.

Oh, wow. I live in The United States. If someone asked me for recommendations when visiting The U.S., I would not know where to begin.
I have lived in Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin, Texas. All of them are great cities with a lot to see and do. I have visited many other cities but I still have so much more to see.
I would ask them what they want to see and what they like to do. And then go from there.

Boston is very historic as well as cultural. So is New Orleans. I grew up in Boston. I have never been to New Orleans but I will be going next September.
New York on the East Coast, Chicago in The Midwest, Los Angeles or San Francisco on The West Coast for shopping. Be certain to bring a lot of money.
Great scenery is all over the United States. The Grand Canyon and Yosemite are among our national parks. New England in the Fall. San Francisco anytime of year. The Amtrak trip between Chicago and Seattle is supposed to be beautiful. Cape Cod for the beaches. Colorado for the mountains.

I would not recommend or mention a great place to visit in my country. However, if you want to visit Indonesia, especially North Sumatra. Make sure you visit one of the lake formed by rising magma from the eruption of Mount Toba around 75,000 years ago. Lake known as Lake Toba. Lake Toba is located amid an island named Samosir Island is a place where the first Batak tribes once existing or emerging. In Indonesia, there are about 17,000 islands that could not be visited in a short time. You have many options for you can visit. Welcome.

I live in England. I suggest the capital city, London. It has the River Thames, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Days out are possible to Rye, Hastings, Leeds Castle in Kent, Hampton Court Place and Windsor. I know that Brighton is an appealing seaside town. I suggest Bath the spa town. Up north is Chester and it is an old Roman town. The Lake District is very pretty indeed. I know that the Yorkshire Coast is very picturesque and I went there last summer. I visited lovely Malaysia when I was 21 years old.

Hi Maximax8. I've been in England in 2009, during spring season. It's a lovely places, lots of places to visit. I like to way of the people using public transportation, especially subway. It's really amazing. The construction and engineering adapted is wonderful. I also get some time to shop at the boutique and outlets, it's really interesting considering the price is affordable and the goods are quality.

I am from the Philippines though I don't live there now. However I would recommend to visit northern part of the country, where one could find the Banawe Rice Terraces which is one of the UNESCO Heritage sites. It is a great wonder how the locals built them 3000 years back.
Around 4 hours drive from Banawe within the same mountain range which is Cordillera, another town is worth visiting called Sagada. They have their own rice terraces as well, caves, water falls and the hanging coffins can be found there.

Yes, welcome to China. There are so many historical sites and beautiful sceneries here that you can enjoy yourself for a long journey. If you are interested in Chinese history, you can go to such ancient capital cities like Beijing, XiAn, Kaifeng, Luoyang etc. If you want to see mountains and rivers, you can go to Jiuzhaigou and Zhangjiajie. Or you can go to Hainan in winter to bathe yourself in the sunshine; to to Harbin to appreciate the wonderful ice sculpture. In a word, China is so vast that one trip is not enough for you.

Turkey is beautiful place, and just walking in the streets, you sees the nature and the amazing streets and hotels, you can't go wrong any place you go in turkey, istanbul is the nicest place, i love it, its the mix between beautiful east and economic west. ankara is pretty also and most of the places are on the sea, so if you are a sea addict, go to ankara, they offer trips and home made food, sure you are going to love.

I world tell people to go to NYC, as ell as Orlando and Disney World and beaches. Try the Grand Canyon. Everyone should see NYC because it's amazing and huge. The best city in the world. The Grand Canyon is really cool as well. I, myself, have never seen it accept on TV, but it's on the list. Also Mickey Mouse is a key American character.

Hello. That is an excellent introduction. I have been to Malaysia twice, very much impressed. Kuala Lumpur is one of the most beautiful cities in Southeast Asia, and Petronas Twin Towers are amazing. I live in western Canada. There are many places of interest for visitors here too. Close to where I live, the Canadian Rockies is very scenic.

I live in Denmark and most tourists choose to visit Copenhagen, but there are many other beautiful and interesting places. In Copenhagen the most famous places are Amalienborg (the queen's castle), Tivoli and the little mermaid. If you want to go shopping Copenhagen is the best place, because there are lots of different shops. In Copenhagen are also many museums for instanse historical museums and art museums.
Ourside Copenhagen I would suggest Odense, Svendborg, Faaborg, Langeland, Soenderborg, Silkeborg, Skanderborg, Aarhus, Aalborg, Skagen and Bornholm. Odense is famous because it is the place where the fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen was born. There are two museums about him and a garden called "The fairytale garden" Silkeborg and Skanderborg and both beautiful places with many lakes. Soenderborg is a town in the very south of Denmark, there is an old castle and many old houses. Skagen is a town in the very north of Denmark, it is a beautiful place and it is very popular among the tourists. Bornholm is an island with many beautiful towns and 4 round churches.

My country is very long and some people want to see the dryiest desert in the world and others want to see the icebergs of the south. There are many beautiful things to see and I would have to know what are the visitor´s interests in order to tell him where to go. I live in the capital, about in the middle of the country. I can see the Andes mountains from my house and be at the beach in 2 hours.
