Washington, DC

Attraction: History in the making

   From the Washington Monument and John F. Kennedy Center all the way to Capitol Hill,

the vigor (活力) of the US’ capital city is just as strong as in real life as it is in House of Cards.

The year 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s famous assassination (*),

and a series of special events will be held to remember the occasion. Lincoln’s famous top hat,

the gun that fired the deadly shot, and other things from that fateful day will be on display.

Milan, Italy

Attraction: A cradle of fine dining and culture

   If you are a gastronome (美食家), don’t miss Milan in 2015. Expo 2015 will be held

between May and October, and the focus is on food.

   The 1.1-square-kilometer grounds will be laid out like a classical Roman city, with

beautiful streets, a canal and a huge lake. You can explore the food district, wander a square

full of street musicians and dance performers, or enjoy nighttime wine-tasting.

SalisBury, UK

Attraction: The Magna Carta’s 800th anniversary
