I'm with you on Dallas, neutral on Seattle (no vivid memory), but San Francisco is probably my favorite American city. But it's funny, I know several SoCal people who do not care for it.
I loved Hawaii (too far away now) and New Orleans, will be back to NOLA for sure. Miami is great to visit; I would not want to live there.
I am a simple guy. I don't care for cities that are rich, yuppified, and dense like Seattle and San Francisco. To me, those kind of cities are just a really big turn off and seem fake and phoney in my opinion. Plus, they are just praised so much and talked about nonstop, it becomes even more of a turnoff. I can honestly say I don't care to visit NYC either for the same reason as above. I do want to visit NYC but there are several other places I'd visit before NYC like New Orleans, Miami, and Hawaii.

Aha,I like to travel too.And I had been told that Guilin is a great tourism attract not only in China but also in the world.I think it's worth to travel.
It's a shame that so many travelers only see the big industrial cities and the touristy sites nearby. Guilin is a nice city, but the Guangxi countryside north and west of Guilin really is amazing. And very easy to get to from Hong Kong, just a one day trip to Guilin. The people west of Guilin are not Han Chinese, but members of various indigenous groups.

I've been to Guilin twice. Once in 1988 and once in 2004. The second time I went to some small towns too. Xing Ping is a very rural villiage that is beautiful to see. Yang Shuo is the tourist town, at the end of the river boat cruise all the tourists take. You can spend one day there but that's all the time it warrants.
I've no particular intention in going to Paris, despite living two hours away by train and speaking fluent French. If I want big crowds of tourists, congestion and high prices I'd stay at home. I'm not all that interested in art galleries - once you've seen one or two, you've seen them all in my view. I've been to Venice, which is really beautiful, but little more than one big museum with not much to do except take photos. I think next year I'll go to the Scottish mountains and do something a bit more active.
I have no desire to step foot into India or the majority of Asia and the Pacific Rim. The exceptions are Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and a handful of the smaller Pacific islands.
Parts of Africa interest me, particularly Morocco, Egypt, and a handful of sub-Saharan countries, but the majority of the African continent holds no interest.

If it wasn't too dangerous, there's no place I'd outright rule out, but I have little interest going to much of Eastern Europe - I might sound ignorant but it all seems the same. Hungary or Czechoslovakia don't really interest me much. Iraq might have been good if more of their history remained but it seems like a barren wartorn wasteland now, which is sad.
