2. Foreword
- The world is big and beautiful. The pretty towns aren't particularly hard to find (although
many are hard to get to).
- Of all the beautiful places in every corner of the world, there are some that are so
picturesque and personable that they are truly not to be missed.
- It's about a unique fusion of landscapes, stunning architecture and cultural visual infusions.
- Many small destinations are fascinating, but little gems that will take your breath away are
uncommon.
- Popular spots like Portofino and Gordes attract tourists from all over the world, while others
like Shirakawa-go and Ilulissat belong to the unsung heroes.
- Regardless of their reputation, these small towns are worth visiting, even if traveling
thousands of miles, to see them for themselves.

- 許多小地點都很迷人，但如寶石般令人驚嘆的地方並不常見。
