Top 1: Paris, France

    Paris probably has more familiar landmarks(地标) than any other city in the world . The Eiffel Toweer, the River Seine and Notre Dame are some of the city's greatest landmarks. And that's not all: a gold roof makes the Louvre's(卢浮宫) attractive to tourists. The world's most beautiful city is now even more beautiful.

   Top 2: Auckland , New Zealand

    Tired of busy school life? Auckland may give you a chance to relax. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. Beaches are usually yellow or white. But in the west of Auckland, the sand of beaches is surprisingly black. What's more, Auckland sits on top of a volcanic field. Many of the volcanic are not active. But you can see the whole city on the top of them.

   Top 3 : Shanghai, China

    As China's economic center, Shanghai develops very quickly! In the early 1990s in Pudong, there was nothing but farmland. But now , the city is well known for skyscrapers(摩天大楼). The 121-storey-tall Shanghai Tower will be the tallest building in China., and the second tallest in the world. However, if you want to find out what the old Shanghai looks like, take a walk in a traditional nontang(弄堂) to get a good idea.
