什么是被高估的旅游城市？

Lexi Perry, lived in Los Angeles (2007-2016)
Los Angeles is completely overrated.
I’m not just saying that because I lived there for almost ten years.
It’s dirty, superficial, and obsessed with physical beauty. The traffic sucks. People are always looking to capitalize off of the weak. Homeless people are everywhere; the city does close to nothing to help the less fortunate.
In Downtown, above Skid Row, are some of the most beautiful, expensive high rise skyscrapers in the world. Talk about irony.
Los Angeles has great restaurants, a diverse population, and plenty of people to talk to.
But, its downfall is the complete disregard for others, and the idea that you need to make as much money as possible to even be considered important.
Every city has its problems, but my issue with Los Angeles is that from the outside, it''s made to seem like paradise, when in reality, it''s crumbling around its people.



洛杉矶完全被高估了。
我这么说不是因为我在那里住了将近十年。
这个城市既肮脏又肤浅，而且沉迷于外在美。城市交通糟透了。这里人们总是想从弱者身上得到利益。城市中到处都有无家可归的人；这个城市从来不会去帮助那些不幸的人。

最讽刺的是在市中心贫民区的上方，是一些世界上最漂亮、最有钱的摩天大楼。
洛杉矶有很棒的餐馆，人口多样化，有很多人可以聊天。
但是，它的衰落在于完全不顾他人，认为尽可能多地赚钱才是重要的。
每个城市都有自身的问题，在我看来，从外面看洛杉矶像天堂，而实际上它在崩溃。

Dubai, I am afraid. Very expensive and mainly revolves around wallet-emptying in malls. Beaches are good but, for tourists, limited to hotel beaches. A trip up the Burj Khalifa is not always the fun it should be because of the dusty haze, the other tourists who ''hog'' window space until their entire tribe has been photographed. Deira Souk is full of goods made in Pakistan and India, not the local area and the nearby heritage area is a tiny representation of old culture. To try and persuade you you are in the UAE they take you out to the desert in 4WDs for a bit of dune driving, camel riding and a so-called Bedouin feast with belly dancing. The latter is not part of the local culture. Tourists think Dubai represents the UAE, which is very far from the truth. To get that, hire a 4WD, get a book about off-road routes and head for the wadis of the eastern mountains or camp at the fantastic Al Dhafra Camel Festival held in December. No, not the one day pat-a-camel version either. Camp under the stars and wake to caravans of camels crossing the sands and experience a real Emirati welcome. Some of the most beautiful, untouristed beaches abound just over the border in Musandam Oman but that''s a pretty well-kept secret.
I''ve been to many places. I found American cities missed the mark and, like Dubai, the real America begins in small places tourists tend not to go for. But that is the case almost everywhere: London is far from a representation of Britain as it is possible to get. Even the Queen spends most of her time away from it!

We might have heard about lot of tourist places across the world and many of them are in Europe. I am fortunate enough to visit some of the places in Europe like Venice, Paris, Rome, Netherlands etc. All these places are really awesome, but there are few places which I felt that they over rated than they really are.
And the first one among it is Pisa, Italy. I am not saying that this is not a good place, but I am only saying that it is not worth the publicity it has got. It is just a small town like any other European town. It has nothing much to see except the Leaning tower. People say that it is one of the wonders of the world, but there is nothing much worth of it. Of course the town is beautiful, but much more hype was created than it really is . Also, basically because of some engineering flaw the foundation of the tower goes into the ground because of which the tower is tilted a bit. And the tower is not so tall, much smaller than a usual cell tower. There are hell lot of places which are wonderful structures and marvelous examples of architecture in India itself but many people don''t even know the names.
There are few other places like this, but this I felt is most over rated place.

我们可能听说过世界各地的许多旅游景点，其中许多都在欧洲。我有幸去了欧洲的一些地方，如威尼斯、巴黎、罗马、荷兰等。所有这些地方都很棒，但很少有地方让我觉得他们被高估了。
其中第一个是意大利比萨。我不是说这不是一个好地方，但我只是说它并没有宣传的那么好。它只是一个像其他欧洲城镇一样的小镇。除了斜塔，没什么其他可以看的。人们说它是世界奇迹之一，但没有什么价值。当然，这个城市很漂亮，但宣传得有点过了。另外，由于一些工程缺陷，塔的地基会下沉，因此塔会倾斜一点。塔不是很高，比普通的发射塔小很多。印度有很多很棒的建筑，但是很多人甚至不知道它们的名字。
像这样的地方很少，但我觉得这是最被高估的地方。
