A ROUTE INSHANGHAI, CHINA

In general, I like the city which
has lakes, rivers, or surrounded by
the sea because my hometown is a city
near the coast, and I spent five years inanother historic city with a big lake. I
always enjoy learning about the stories
and people about the water while
wandering around the street.

Xiamen is an island with a natural harbor that locates in southeastern
China and lies off the west of Taiwan. The walking route is an explorative
trip to the old center of this city,
city where you could find not only the old urban
fabric, but also the most authentic local life with fishery and folk-custom.
If you start earlier, you might find a busy morning market at No.8 Market.
Locals love seafood, and most of the Chinese people would never buy adead one → Then you can cycle to ‘Overseas Chinese Community' throughthe Zhongshan Park. This community is located in a very good place
according to Chinese geomancy, so many overseas Chinese bought theirhouse there at that time. Many of the houses here have become community
facilities and book stores.

Panama City was the first city founded on the Pacific coast of America
during the Spanish conquest in 1519. Its privileged geographical position in
the narrowest strait of the continent gave rise to its function as a place forthe exchange of goods and services,
services which led to periods of bonanza andrecession throughout history.
At first it was located approximately 8 km northeast of the current site,a place abandoned after being destroyed during a pirate looting in 1673.
In response to the looting, the city was rebuilt on a small rocky peninsula
and was surrounded by walls for defense. Population growth led to theremoval of the walls,
walls and then the real estate speculation generated after
the construction of the Canal took over and brought with it a peculiar

today.
I recommend this route because it is a route that allows you to appreciate
several of the phases that the city went through,through from its beginnings to theconfiguration of its skyline in recent decades. Additionally, it allows you toexperience a culture and gastronomy that are not easily accessible in otherparts of the world. However, it should be considered that in certain areas,
especially those between Plaza 5 de Mayo and Plaza Simón Bolivar, it ispreferable to walk in the morning and afternoon for security reasons.

I recommend this route because I saw her selfintroduction that she is interested in cities withlakes,rivers,or surrounded by the sea. In this route, you
can enjoy not only the beautiful ocean view but also theriverside of Ooka-river which is famous for cherry blossoms.
While walking along the ocean and going toward the Ookariver, there are many historical places that are important,so I would like to introduce them too.

I recommend you this route because
it tells us how the center of Japan has
has changed. This route begins with Imperial
Palace, and ends with Hama Imperial Villa.
Between them are Nihon-bashi and Ginza area,
which has been the biggest castle town in Japanand still the biggest commercial area in Japan.
