			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Phuket, is the largest island of Thailand.</p>
<p>There are three main beaches: Patong Beach, Karon Beach and Kata Beach. Patong Beach is on the central western coast and it is very easy to access to its wide and long beach. Most of Phuket&#8217;s nightlife and shopping is located in Patong, but the area looks like over developed. The other two popular beaches are located south of Patong which are Karon Beach and Kata Beach. These areas are generally much less developed than Patong,  but better for families and groups to have fun with a preference for more relaxed and less crowded and cleaner environs. There are several coral islands to the south of Phuket. Phi Phi Islands have its natural outlook undersea and tourists can have scuba diving there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lake Tazawa is the deepest lake in Japan. The maximum depth is 423m.</p>
<p>The lake in the winter, never freeze. Before 1940, it was regarded the cleanest lake in Japan compare to the famous Mashu lake located in Hokkaido. After that the industry pollutions were poured into the lake, causing the PH of the water drop down to 1.0 or so. The fish became extinct ever since then because of the terrible under water environment. Somehow, nowadays, the government put efforts on the lake to recover the quality of the water and got positive effects.</p>
<div id="attachment_64" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-64" title="Tazawako" src="http://mingxu999.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/dsc_51261.jpg?w=300&#038;h=198" alt="The bronze woman in lake" width="300" height="198" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The bronze woman in lake</p></div>
<p>All though the lake itself has some problem, the scenery around attracts thousands of tourists every year. The Shinkansei, bullet train, has a station here also called Tazawa. There is a bronze woman stands in the lake and from her face, the tourists could catch the historic feeling of the lake.</p>
<p>The famous hot springs are also existing around this area and the most famous one in the Japan is just 40 minutes car ride from the JR station of the Tazawa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kamakura is a city located in the west of Tokyo and Yokohama which is the most giant harbor in Japan. In the ancient time, it was considered the capital of Kanto area, although it was never completely independent from Kyoto, which was rewarded as the origin of Japan.</p>
<div id="attachment_41" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-41" title="Outdoor Buddha" src="http://mingxu999.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/dsc_5836.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="Outdoor bronze Buddha" width="200" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Outdoor bronze Buddha</p></div>
<p>Kamakura has many significant architectures. Kotoku-in has its great outdoor bronze of Amida Buddha which is the most famous in the city. In fact, before 15th century, there is a temple hosted the bronze Buddha but a harbor wave came and destroyed the structures. The status of Buddha survived from the disaster and remained outdoor since then.</p>
<p>The city has its own rail way lines besides JR lines. There is a street near to the station selling food stuff and souvenirs. The most valuable foodstuff should be the traditional side dishes which tastes delicious and Japanese style.</p>
