ginchang Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Recently,the COVID-19 epidemic has worsened again, and many countries have begun to restrict people from going out,and it is also recommended to avoid traveling abroad. But many people travel abroad for the purpose of visiting historical sites, that being the case, why don't we stay at home and visit the world's historical sites on Shutterstock? So I invite you to share photos of the historic sites you have visited, or photos of the historic sites of your hometown~~ First let me share photos of historical sites in Taiwan:New Taipei City Banqiao Lin Family Mansion and Garden is an ancient mansion:https://www.shutterstock.com/zh-Hant/image-photo/1824332639Diyi Temple is hidden in urban of Banqiao:https://www.shutterstock.com/zh-Hant/image-photo/1824301901Taiching Taiwan Railway Zhuifen station still in use:https://www.shutterstock.com/zh-Hant/image-photo/1818586667 Tainan TsungYeh Arts and Cultural Center,is the original Taiwan Sugar Madou Sugar Factory:https://www.shutterstock.com/zh-Hant/image-photo/1818521120 Taitung Museum of Taiwan Prehistory have archaeological remains:https://www.shutterstock.com/zh-Hant/image-photo/1767796796 3 Link to post Share on other sites
HodagMedia Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Good starter thread, I usually don't watch this section, but when I saw this I said, keep it going. Historic Sites - or locations. Since you suggested local, I found the closest one I have accepted on ShutterStock. Stony Hill School House, home of the first American Flag Day, Waubeka, Wisconsin. USA Flag Day June 14th 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Adelbert72 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Because some historical places may evoke a feeling of pride, some make evoke feeling of anger, some may evoke feeling of sadness, feeling of amusement and so on. At the same time, it also depends on the person, his attitude, his perception, his understanding of history, context and so on. www.mcdvoice.com Link to post Share on other sites

Shultay Baltaay Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 In my city there is an old mansion where Brezhnev lived. The house is now under guard. No one is ever seen either inside the house or on the territory. What's in it now is a secret. In general, the communists know a lot about luxury and comfort https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo_ID1096434815 On the same street, almost next to it is the last wooden house of 18th century in the city of Dnipro. People still live in it. The state of building is deplorable. But nobody cares about this. https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo_ID1096431530 https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Shultay+Baltaay9 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thijs de Graaf Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Also in my village Bergen in the Netherlands. Russian monument founded in the year 1901. In eternal memory of the Russian soldiers fallen in the Battle of Bergen in 1799. A Russian Orthodox cross. I often visit the dune area of the battle (Russengat) where our children played and I sometimes think of that battle. https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/small-oaks-sand-dunes-near-village-1813648054 Link to post Share on other sites
Elkins_6 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 You should pick a historic place which is usually located in your country and you have visited. In this case, you need to say when you visited and what you enjoyed there. But for the cue card 'describe a historic place that you know about', you can talk about any historic place located anywhere in the world. Not necessarily you need to visit a place to know about it.
