Built between AD10 and AD25, The ancient amphi-theatre of Orange is one of the best preserved of all the great Roman theatres. It is inscripted as the Unesco world heritage site in 1981.
It was heavy repairing when I visited.

Mount Emei(峨眉山 in Chinese) locates at Sichuan province of Western China. It’s one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China, And was nominated as the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
I almost forgot all the details about my Mount Emei tour many years ago. But when my father gave me this cup of green tea, I recognized it at once: It’s “ZhuYeQing” (竹叶青 in Chinese)!

Kiyomizu-dera (Pure Water Temple) is one of oldest Buddhist temples in Japan. The temple is the UNESCO World Heritage site as part of ancient Kyoto.
But it also one of famous suicide spots of Japan. “To jump off the stage at Kiyomizu” is a Japanese slang to express “to take the plunge”. Why?

Golden Pavilion Temple(Kinkaku-ji) is the informal name of Deer Garden Temple(Rokuon-ji), As the important part of the old Kyoto city, It’s designated as the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
It was not a fine day when I visited Golden Pavilion Temple, And it’s still not the right red leaves season, But it still looks so beautiful.

Visiting the Potala Palace need some physical force. It was built on Red Mountain in the centre of Lhasa Valley (3,700m above sea level),And you need climb up about 170 meters’ steps to visit it.

I don’t like any kind of hospital. But I strongly suggest you visit Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (Hospital Sant Pau in short) when you travel to Barcelona.
It’s the oldest hospital in Spain. And the only hospital in this world which was declared as World Heritage by UNESCO for its singular architectural and artistic beauty.

Every time I visited The Temple of Heaven(Tian Tan in Chinese), I found that most of tourists here are foreigner.
Maybe they have more interesting in this magic construction than emperor’s palace, Just like me.

Amiens Cathedral was designated as the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981, It’s the first highlight I visited in Amiens .

AT called me yesterday. he invited me to write a 6-pages article about a town of France for Magazine, A famous magazine focus on elite gentleman in mainland China.
“You can begin with the town you like most. Which town you like most? Avignon? “he asked.
No, It’s Amiens, Absolutely.

Geyersworth Palace was built by the wealthy Geyer family. It was once the prince-bishops’ residence. From the top of tower you can get a fantastic view over the city of Bamberg. But You should know how can get the key of this old Palace.

Stephanberg is the No.1 place of Bamberg in my eyes.
It gives the best view of this UNESCO World Heritage Site City, Offers the best smoke beer gardens for adult, and a happy heaven for kids.
