A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go on that day? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
To a human being, the main purpose of his or her trip aboard is to experience another culture, to meet people of another life style and to understand another way of life. As a result, if I happen to have a chance to be a tourist guide of a foreigner, museums will be my top choice considering the limited time, say only one day.
To (for)almost all countries, museums are places where they (to) display important antique objects or heritages---we may take fossils for an example---either genuine or copied, as a means of showing the culture and history of the exact country. With a lot more interests and knowledge than you could have imagined, museums are the best place to explore even for the local people, whose schedules are so tight that they cannot squeeze much time to travel around the country to know their own culture deeply. So how can a foreigner lose such an efficient way to know a new country?
One single day will never be enough for one to understand a new culture in the round (around), which takes (makes) generations of experts to study. To this extent, museums are definitely a much better choice because they show a brief idea of every part of the culture but, magnificently, cover a wide range of domains. Within 24 hours, there is no chance to travel a long distance to appreciate the beautiful landscape and explore the vestiges scattered within the country. Take museums in to concern, I see no reason to bother to do such an all-consuming job.(We need not bother to do such an all-consuming job if our trip includes visiting museums)
Besides, museums are always located in big cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. In consequence, the foreigner will also have a chance to meet bunches of local people, who he can talk with to know the people well,(建议修改) adding a vivid highlight to the one-day trip.
Concerned with all the factors, I firmly recommend museums to be the tourist resorts for a foreigner who only has one day to spend in our country. He can scratch a general notion of the background of the culture through his experience in the museums.
