Anna Walker (A tour guide in Chester):

Close to the English and Welsh border, the city of Chester has a long history. It's filled with buildings of historic sites, including some historic city walls in the county. For tourists who plan a visit to Chester this year, there's plenty on offer, including a new, free, self-guided tour that lines the city's four main streets. Chester's Rows are unique(独特的) in the world, which form a second row of shops above those at street level. Nobody is quite sure why they were built this way But the new tour offers an insight into their fascinating history and the shaping of Chester.

Brian Clarke (A boat driver in Chester):

I was born in the small village of Mancot, six miles from Chester, and once I moved here,I have simply never wanted to leave the city. The city itself has so much to offer but most of all I love the beautiful River Dee. My favorite spot in Chester is the tee-lined banks of the River Dee. I walk into work at Chester Boat every day and it's great to be able to walk through Grosvenor Park and come out at Oueens Park Bridge. Chester Boat business began in Chester over 100 years ago. I started as a boat driver in 1979 and have had a wonderful life.

Katrina Kerr (An old lady in Chester):

I'm a Londoner but in 1998 my husband and I moved to Chester. It was the perfect location and we really felt we had “escaped to the country". It looks different from other cities so many black and white buildings. During the summer it is busy with tourists and race-goers, and in the winter, you can enjoy comedy clubs, jazz and Folk bars. Chester is right on the border with Wales, so for centuries it has been a bit English and a bit Welsh. Now a new generation have started businesses in travel and finance(金融). And the city now feels young and buzzy.
