1.Edinburgh is famous for its historical culture and the tourism is well developed.
2.Edinburgh is equipped with double-decker buses. Buy a full-day ticket and you can take a tour of this classic city on the sightseeing route set by local transport authority.
3.Royal Mile is the central thoroughfare of Edinburgh's Old Town. It is also where one of Jay Chou's music videos was filmed. Walking along the street with the song, you can find that you are such a romantic.
4. I would like to buy a cashmere scarf with Scottish features and wonder if Edinburgh's cashmere is really soft and beautiful.

Edinburgh is an ancient British cultural city with a long history. I want to feel the strong cultural atmosphere there. Edinburgh has a humid and mild climate with an annual average temperature of 8 degrees, which is very suitable for tourism. Edinburgh's ancient palaces, churches and castles are embellished with rich cultural heritage. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Britain, known as "Athens in the north". I also hope to go to Edinburgh to experience the local cultural characteristics, such as watching Scots dance in Scottish skirts, listening to them play bagpipes, and eating haggis, a traditional local dish. If shuttling the street full of cultural atmosphere, I figure that it is a romantic thing.

Edinburgh, an ancient cultural city with a long history, is the British city I have always been longing for. The combination of natural landscape and classical architecture, rich historical atmosphere, many unique buildings such as St. Giles Cathedral, Holyrood palace, makes Edinburgh worthy of one of the most cultural atmosphere of the castle.
Edinburgh's streets are always bustling and bustling. Every summer, there are large-scale art performances. Prince Street is the busiest street in Edinburgh. Prince Street is known as "the most beautiful road in the world", adding modern flavor to the old city of Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is a mountainous city. I am most attracted by the simplicity and elegance of Carlton mountain. There are many historical stories and natural beauty in the mountain .On the top of the mountain,you can see all the Edinburgh.
