Describe a place you visited on vacation.

　　You should say:

　　Where it is

　　When you went there

　　What you did there

　　And explain why you went there.

　　A place that I went to on holiday that left a very lasting impression on me was a trip I made with three friends of mine to a hotel resort in the mountains in south China, not far from the border of Thailand. It was a lovely boutique resort hotel situated near a waterfall in the hills. We went during the summer vacation, and it was incredibly hot, I must say. But that didn't matter so much because we didn't plan on doing any particularly energetic activities or much sightseeing. We went for the relaxing atmosphere, the hotel, the pool and the surrounding countryside. We did a bit of slow hiking in the tropical hills, at a leisurely pace, and the rest of the time we relaxed, enjoyed the spa, had lovely meals and spent time playing card games, chatting and enjoying the luxurious hotel facilities. We had all had a very tiring semester, you see, and finished our final exams, so it was a kind of reward to ourselves for all our hard work, and we didn't want to do anything too tiring. We wanted a bit of self-indulgence and luxury really, in a tropical and exotic setting, without actually going abroad. There were four of us, all good friends, so it was a really nice novelty to spend time together in a place which was distinctly different from the campus we had spent years studying at together. That, in itself, was a great change and made it all the more exciting. I really would like to go to this place again. Despite being so wonderful it was not a very busy place and still maintained a rather boutique and personal feel. I like places like that.
