    From United States' Miami to South China's high-tech city Shenzhen, The Lonely Planet released a list of top 10 cities which are worth visiting. Those places include second place Shenzhen, China, Novi Sad, Serbia in third place; Miami, Florida in fourth place, and Kathmandu, Nepal rounding out the top five. Let's have a look at some of these attractive places.

    Copenhagen, Denmark

    With its modern design, 15 Michellin-starred restaurants and highly bike-friendly culture, it is not surprising that Denmark's capital has topped The Lonely Planet's top 10 cities list.

    Copenhagen's street food business is developing fast in Refshaleon, a former industrial area with a food market, Reffen.

    Novi Sad, Serbia

    While Novi Sad is not as noted as the capital of Belgrade, it's much more fashionable. It's home to the country's EXIT festival, which is held each July at the 18th century-era Petrovaradin Fortress.

    The festival brings visitors an exciting music and art scene and a youthful atmosphere (氛围). 2019 European Youth Capital was held in Novi Sad. It was a practice run for 2021, when the city got the important title of European Capital of Culture.

    Kathmandu, Nepal

    Three years after it was hit by a powerful earthquake, Kathmandu is welcoming visitors to a city which is much quieter, by design.

    With cars banned (禁止) from the historic center and motor horns (喇叭) banned across the Kathmandu Valley, it's much quieter than it used to be in the past.

    Shenzhen, China

    Splendid China Folk Culture Village (锦绣中华中国民俗文化村) in Shenzhen is a miniature (缩影) park. Over 100 major tourist attractions have been miniaturized and laid out according to the map of China. There are cars and trains to transport visitors around the park, making it possible to visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Three Gorges Dam, the Potala Palace and the Terracotta Army in one day. Some of the shows are only performed on weekends.
