Question

【题目】 Antigua in Guatemala(危地马拉) is a place where time stopped three centuries ago. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Central America. In this city, you can feel what life was like in the past.

You can see the buildings that people designed in the 1700s. You can walk in the streets, see the Cathedral of San Jose, and visit the church.

I have visited this city several times because I like it so much, but I will never forget my first time in this city. I was 12 years old when I first discovered the streets covered with small stones, the houses with big windows and beautiful gardens, the colonial(殖民地的) buildings, the people from different cultures walking around the central park, and the natives wearing the typical multicolored clothes and talking with the tourists to try to sell their products.

I still remember the taste of the candies from the Kona Maria Gordillo Shop and the smell of hot chocolate and banana bread from the Dona Luisa Chicothencalh Restaurant.

Antigua mixes the past with the present, and I think this is one of the reasons that make people who visit this city feel delighted. To me, thinking about Antigua is like travelling back to another epoch(时代). If you have the opportunity to travel to Guatemala and also want to travel back to colonial times, you must visit this beautiful city.
