揭秘：这些欧洲景点为什么会受到中国游客热捧？

近年来前往欧洲旅游的中国游客越来越多，老外们已经对大街上成群结队买买买的中国人见怪不怪。但是，中国人最爱去的一些欧洲景点恐怕会令很多老外大吃一惊：明明没什么特别的啊？这些景点为什么会独受中国人的青睐呢？

According to a 2017 VisitBritain report, more than 260,000 Chinese tourists visit the UK each year. And where do they go? It claimed that “they are mostly interested in symbolic elements: the Royal Family, Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter and Downton Abbey”. So expect crowds at Windsor Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, Baker Street, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Highclere Castle.

根据英国旅游局2017年的报告，每年有超过26万中国游客到英国旅游。那么中国游客都去哪里呢？报告称“中国游客对象征性元素最感兴趣：王室、莎士比亚、福尔摩斯、哈利波特和唐顿庄园”。所以温莎城堡、埃文河畔斯特拉福、贝克大街、哈利波特的魔法世界还有海克利尔城堡肯定有一大群游客。
