Translation

Some people believe that a tourist attraction must be a place famous for its scenic beauty or a historical site. I don’t think the concept is that limited. In my opinion, a place to visit is simply a place people like to go.

In my town, the park is an attraction because many people love to spend time there. Elderly people exercising and walking in the park. Children play games there while parents sit and talk to each other. Another favorite place in my town is Hoa Binh market. It’s a traditional market with lots to see. I love going there to buy food and clothes, and watch people shop. Foreign tourists also like this market because they can experience Vietnamese culture, buy textiles, clothes and other handicrafts as souvenirs.
