International tourism became a hot topicnowadays. As the advancement of technology and transportation, and theenhancement of living standard, people no longer satisfy with reading verbosedescription about the other side of the world in front of their laptop;instead, they are looking forward to experiencing some exotic culture inperson. Therefore, choosing a right place with limit budge needs strategy foranyone who would like to spend less but gain more. Among legion travellingsuggestions, there is one piece of advice that does not vary from time and fromplaces, which is the idea of travelling around the major city of a country.

A historical major city witnesses thedevelopment of a country and it also bears with the culture characteristics, forexample, one of the major cities in North China, Xi’an. In the long history ofChina, from Dynasty to the building of new China, Xi’an was always chosen to bethe capital city or the center of politics. It companied Tang Dynasty to reachto its most prosperous heyday and followed it fall to the bitter nadir; itlistened to the chipper laughter of the flourishing age, tolerated the bitterpride of the time. It remains silent but intransient when she saw her own peoplefighting with themselves in front of her door and watch foreign powers eatinginto our territory, only waits to be the strong backing for the country to revive;it ultimately became the revolutionary base area for Chinese Communist Party todevelop and protect the country. Today, we can see Xi’an has passed the hugecultural legacy of the ancient China and the contemporary China. If you want tosense the national spirit and experience the distinctive ethnic flavor, Xi’an,as a major city in China, should be a must-see in your list.

A modern and new major city represents thecountry’s attitudes to the globe and it is a window for outsiders to understandwhat people inside are looking forward, for example, one of the major city inSouth China, Shanghai. Although since Qing Dynasty Shanghai’s position hasbecome eminence in China and it also marked with paramount historicalrudiments, the WWII literally obviated his prosperity. To response to theOpen-Door policy designed by Deng Xiaoping in 1970s, as well as to catch upwith the world pace, Shanghai, after the silence and depression for decades,once again becomes the money pocket for China. The new Shanghai today hasbecame one of the economy centers in the world. Chinese people here are able torun business independently and freely; numberless opportunities are given for foreignbusiness which are able to be run boundlessly. Therefore, if you want to knowwhat Chinese people are looking up for their lives right now, and in what wayspeople are living their lives right now, Shanghai, as a major city in China, isa landmark for China’s current life.

However, we also should not overlook thediversity of the culture of a society. For example, different minorities in Chinapossess various unique cultures of their own, which is independent butinterrelated and interacted with the major culture, which more or less shapethe society as what it is now. Therefore, in terms of culture, the minority’scultures are indispensible component.

In conclusion, the major cities of asociety reflect its major characteristics although other small citiescontribute to the society as well. The major cities are the monument of the society,which is etched by time, curved with history; the major cities are the mirrorsof the society, which reflects what people are looking up to, chasing after. Therefore,if you are looking forward to knowing about the major characteristics of thesociety, you had better study on its major cities.
