This may be because Saint Kitts was once a colony and multiple cultures were mixed. For example, in the main square, it is a traditional London style.

2. The church with the most bumpy destiny-St. George's English Church St. George's English Church was the first English church built in St. Kitts. It was burned by British soldiers during the Anglo-French hegemony in 1760. In 1710, the church was rebuilt as an English church and named it St. George's English Church. In 1763, a fire destroyed the church, and a series of earthquakes and hurricanes destroyed the church between 1831 and 1843. In October 1844, water was poured into the foundation of the church and it was rebuilt in March 1859. Seven years later, a fire completely destroyed the entire Urban area of Basseterre. As a result, the builders began the task of rebuilding it again, which was completed in 1869. Since then, it has remained in good condition. This huge square church is a landmark building in Basseterre.

4. The place farthest from dust-Banana Bay There is a hidden beach on the southeastern peninsula of Saint Kitts.

Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Nevis across the channel while leisurely walking, diving or swimming quietly. Since there are no water sports operators on this beach, if you plan to dive, be sure to bring your own diving equipment. If you are lucky, you can still see finch efish and other fish jumping to the beach, so remember to bring a camera and take pictures of the jumping fish or the beautiful scenery of the southeastern island. There are no beach bars or restaurants on Banana Island, so it is recommended to bring a picnic basket with good food and cold drinks, and then enjoy a private beach picnic under the coconut trees.

5. The most suitable volcano for growing sugar cane-Peak Nevis an active volcano located in the middle of Nevis Island in the West Indies. It is 3232 feet (985 meters) high. There have been no volcanic eruptions here historically, but there are some active jets and hot springs on the island's coastal slopes, which also represent low-level volcanic activity. Farming is impossible in the steep part of the Nevis Peak. Since sugar cane is grown in every available land, this mountain, which occupies a large area of the island, has not really changed, and most of the original flora and fauna are still in complete condition. Visitors can walk to the top of the mountain, but some sections are very challenging and require people in good health to complete it. For safety reasons, it is recommended to bring an accompanying guide. When the top of the mountain is cloudless, you can see a very spectacular scene from the top of the mountain.

6. The best way to visit Saint Kitts is to take a sightseeing train. This section of railway surrounds the coastline and allows you to see the unique and beautiful scenery in the Caribbean. This colorful double-decker train was originally built to transport sugar between plantations and factories. Its history dates back to 1912. After the sugar industry stopped in 2005, this railway was put into operation again and officially became a unique tourist train in Saint Kitts. Nowadays, almost everyone who comes to Saint Kitts takes this small train. During the journey, local cappella singers will also perform for tourists. The entire journey lasted about 3 hours, and the scenery along the way was very amazing.
