英倫風(fēng)情:馬術(shù)小王子華天邀你游英國

I'm Alex Hua Tian, an Olympic Chinese event rider, and I train and live in Britain. I've been in school in the UK since I was 11 years old. And now I'm based here full time, training for 2012. Although I live in the countryside, I love the hustle and bustle of London. And so for me, for a holiday, I will definitely come to London, enjoy the culture, enjoy the sights, enjoy the night life and the good restaurants. London is very important, but there are so many things that the countryside in Britain offers. From Scotland to Salisbury Plain, just go out there, enjoy yourself and enjoy the experience. Take yourself to Badminton Horse Trials, where you will see amazing horses galloping across massive fences. In contrast to that, a nice quiet local pub in the Cotswolds, there are just millions of things to experience, millions of things to enjoy. There is nothing more quintessentially British than cricket. The image of village cricket on a blistering summer's day is just so picturesque. My particular discipline eventing is the mixture of dressage, cross country and show jumping. And there is no where better to watch it than at Badminton Horse Trials at Badminton house. I competed at my first Badminton last year, and hearing my horse's footsteps through the cobbled arch ways at Badminton's stables was really a very special moment for me. And I hope that the Olympics will top that. The 2012 London Olympic equestrian events will be held here at Greenwich Park. What a beautiful venue! This year is my year to qualify for the Olympics. Last Olympics, 2008 in Beijing, was my home Olympics. 2012 in London is eventing's home Olympics. I wouldn't want to sum Britain up in one sentence. There are so much culture diversity and heritage. You really just have to come and see it for yourself. Britain, you are invited.
