Features: Every country has its own heroes and has experienced significant historical events that changed the fate of the nation. Many of the footprints left by heroes in today's world or the sites of major historical events have been built into sacred memorials. These sacred sites form a series of moving pictures in the world. With the development of China's reform and opening-up and modernization efforts, as well as the acceleration of global integration, exchanges between China and other countries in terms of politics, economy, culture, and society have become increasingly frequent. More and more Chinese citizens are traveling abroad for business, government, academic exchanges, inspections, and tourism. If, in their spare time or while exploring the landscapes and customs of foreign lands, they also visit these important sacred sites of other countries, they can further understand the great figures who made significant sacrifices and contributions in the struggles for national independence, unity, people's liberation, and progress. This will enrich their knowledge of the history of these countries, learn about the heroes and their deeds in different nations, and better contribute to building our own country. Moreover, by reflecting on the history and figures of these countries, they can appreciate how today's world peace and happiness have been hard-won and cherish them even more. These are the main purposes of compiling this book. The book primarily introduces the sacred memorials of important countries in the world, while also providing brief overviews of these countries, including aspects to pay attention to during travel, such as customs, culture, climate, transportation, diet, and procedures for obtaining entry visas. There are many countries in the world, and countless sacred sites, but this book can only include a portion of them. The aim is to spark readers' interest in this topic.
