I will show her the fields around here.

Hi. I'll show you the best beaches in Da Nang city, Vietnam, Hoi An ancient town and i'll introduce you to some delicious local food.
First, I would take them to historical and natural places. I have been living in Istanbul for 3 years. This city has many landmarks which are well- known such as the Bosphorus, mosques, churches etc. Then, I would take them to Shopping Malls. In my opinion, the Grand Bazaar is the most gorgeous place to shop in Europe. Finally, we would go to green areas.
I will show to him all city espialy resturant, cafe,and clup
I will show firstly my city, the beach, the sea, the best restaurants, the museums, then I will suggest we go on a trip to the other places of my region.
Hmmm,I will take them to the places where they could buy their needs firstly,like markets,and malls,I will show them the gardens near by the transportion areas and some places to have fun.
At first of all, I would show the large beach. It's probably the most famous place in the town, where
you can do many activities, even in winter, such as playing football or volleyball and going for a relaxing walk and enjoying beautiful views
In this situation,I would take him to famous places such as museums,historical places ,parks, supermarkets and coffee shops to find out how our city is fabulous.Finally,I would ask him if he wants anything else.
