English City of Chester. Tell the History and Touristic Value. Chester County has a little of everything when it comes to tourism. Whether you enjoy outdoor activities, visiting historic sites, shopping, or just plain relaxing, odds are you will find Chester County the perfect place to visit. The county's rural setting is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and there are several places to visit for short day-trips. Shopping "On the Hill" (which describes downtown Chester's unique positioning on top of a very steep hill which slopes down to the remaining sections of the City) is a pleasant experience. Downtown shops carry a large variety of merchandise including men and women's apparel, antiques, books, pet needs, and hardware. Scattered throughout the county are strip malls which contain grocers, drug stores, and general merchandise. Major outlet malls and modern shopping malls can be found in nearby Rock Hill (20 minutes); Pineville (30 minutes); Charlotte (40 minutes); or Columbia (45 minutes). Dining choices in the Chester County area range from "fish camps" (local eateries famous for some of the best freshwater and seafood in the South), to pub style and southern home style restaurants to fast food eateries. International cuisine includes Mexican and Greek choices. Several places have facilities for club meetings and private parties.

Charleston Environment, South Carolina. Travel Information to the USA. Charleston is still coming to terms with its difficult history of slavery. Historians estimate that slave ships brought much men, women, and children into Charleston's harbor over the course of America's period of international slave trade. Charleston's mayor, Joseph P. Riley, Jr., goes so far as to estimate that more than 80 percent of African-Americans in the US today can trace at least one ancestor back to Charleston. Fortunately, more and more Lowcountry institutions are now recognizing African-American history and creating learning opportunities for locals and visitors. There's growing interest in Gullah language, crafts, food, and culture. And we're finally going to have the African-American Museum that local leaders have been talking about for years. The city and other partners recently announced plans for a $75 million International African-American Museum to be open by two 2018 near the South Carolina Aquarium. In the meantime, here are five African-American history sites worth a visit in Charlest. TOURISM: If you prefer a temperate, subtropical climate, then Charleston is the place for you! The weather is typically warm, even when winter wraps much of the world in her icy cloak. December to February typically sees an average temp in the 60s while spring and autumn are in the 70s. Summer can get a little warm, averaging in the low 90s, but that makes for great outside play and there are plenty of outside activities in the area! After the hectic work week, you can kick back on the weekends and take a walk on the long cobblestone streets along Rainbow Row and other parts of the city, catch a carriage ride around the city, or take the family to the South Carolina Aquarium. You can wander through the Old City Market where local vendors sell everything from local spices to handmade palmetto baskets and roses to photography. The Moon Pie General Store is also fun for the whole family wit
