MODEL ANSWER

Well, the place I would love to talk about is a small town on the outskirt of ABC city. I spent 5 days there on traveling with my two friends two years ago and it was simply an unforgettable memory for us.

It’s filled with tiny mist covered karst limestone peaks, and a beautiful winding river. JRR Tolken traveled around there before writing The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and supposedly used it as an inspiration for the landscapes. When I was here I expected to see elves and hobbits lurking around every corner. The underground caves carved by water that originated these features are equally amazing. It just makes this place twice as appealing as a fairy tale location.

So, a place taken out of a fairy tale, that’s what I will call it when I recommend it to friends.
