Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

I prefer the views in rural areas because I am a keen nature lover and enjoy photographing countryside landscapes such as mountains, hills and woods. Having said that, I don't completely ignore urban sceneries since cities can offer interesting architecture and lively views as well.

× For example, I often photograph shun sheets and Beauty of nature so I can look back on those peaceful evenings and enjoy the greenery with my friends.
✓ For example, I often photograph sunrises and the beauty of nature so I can look back on those peaceful evenings and enjoy the greenery with my friends.
The original sentence uses incorrect words and capitalization: 'shun sheets' is likely a misspelling of 'sunrises' (a noun) and 'Beauty of nature' incorrectly capitalizes common noun phrase and is awkward. Also 'the beauty of nature' requires the definite article 'the'. Suggestion: replace with 'sunrises' and 'the beauty of nature' to be natural and grammatically correct.
× I prefer the views in my own country because it is full of natural beauty and historic architecture, so I enjoy visiting those spots.
✓ I prefer the views in my own country because it is full of natural beauty and historic architecture, so I enjoy visiting those places.
The phrase 'those spots' is not ungrammatical but 'places' is more natural when referring to locations of interest. This is an article/word-choice improvement to fit register. No tense change necessary.
× Having said that, I would also love to explore scenery in other countries if I get opportunity in the future since different landscapes and cultures can be very inspiring.
✓ Having said that, I would also love to explore scenery in other countries if I get the opportunity in the future since different landscapes and cultures can be very inspiring.
The phrase 'get opportunity' is missing the article 'the'. This is a modal/possibility context where 'get the opportunity' is the correct collocation. Suggest adding 'the' to form natural English.
