Further Discussion
In my opinion, natural beauty is more important because it helps people relax and enjoy the wonders of nature. For example, mountains and lakes can make visitors feel peaceful and refreshed, which is a great way to escape busy city life.
A good tourist city should have historic sites because they let us learn about the past. Places like old temples or ancient cities tell us stories of different dynasties and poets, so we can feel the history and culture of a city.
