Question about English (US)
a: Have you been to Seven Sisters?
b: Have I been where?
a: Seven Sisters.
b :Oh, no, but I think I've heard of that. Isn't that the place which is famous for beautiful sceneries?
a: That's right. It's the place where there are 7 cliffs and sea. It's not so far from London. If I remember correctly, it takes only one and a half hour by bus.
b: Did you have a good time there?
a: At first glace, it was very touching for me. It was as if the land was endless. It was nature itself. But for a few moments later, I got a little bored and had no interests anymore. You know, there was nothing but seeing a same landscape.
(does this sound natural?)

"Isn't that the place which is famous for beautiful sceneries?" - Correct, but sounds a bit odd. "Isn't that the place that's famous for beautiful scenery?" would sound more natural.
"it takes only one and a half hour by bus." - Hour has to be plural (hours) since there is more than one.
"But for a few moments later, I got a little bored and had no interests anymore." - "But a few moments later, I got a little bored and had no interest anymore." I'm assuming you're trying to say that after a little bit you got bored, but "for a few moments" is saying that you did something for a certain period of time. "A few moments later I was busy," vs "I watched the sunrise for a few moments." Also, interest should not be plural because you're only talking about being interested in one thing in that moment (the landscape). "There was nothing but seeing a same landscape." - "There was nothing but seeing the same landscape" or "There was nothing but the same landscape" would sound more natural. "The" is more correct than "a." In the second example you can just cut out the verb, as it doesn't really change much of the meaning in this sentence. It's somewhat implied that you're the person seeing this landscape because you're telling the story.
