The West Lake is so beautiful place that it attracts thousands of tourists every year.这是一道改错题，标答是改为so beautiful a place，此处可否把place删去，so beautiful that...

Answer 1

有两种改法
1）由于 place 是可数名词单数，需要加不定冠词，而副词 so 和被修饰形容词 beautiful 构成一个不能分隔的整体，所以 a 要直接加在 place 前。
2）把 place 去掉，因为形容词 beautiful 也可以直接用作表语，说明西湖的特征。

Answer 2

可以直接把place删去
即
The West Lake is so beautiful that it attracts thousands of tourists every year.
也可以改为 such a beautiful place
即

The West Lake is such a beautiful place that it attracts thousands of tourists every year.
=The West Lake is so beautiful a place that it attracts thousands of tourists every year.

Answer 3

可以把place删去，也是正确的
