But besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions.,大部分美國(guó)人比較喜歡在國(guó)內(nèi)旅游，為什么呢？其中一個(gè)原因是，國(guó)內(nèi)旅游比國(guó)外旅游便宜，也沒(méi)有語(yǔ)言不通的問(wèn)題。但除此原因以外，占地極廣的美國(guó)國(guó)土提供了許多能吸引游客的地點(diǎn)。,Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders.
