Is there a place that you have a strong desire to visit before you are too old to travel? If so, you're in my shoes. The following places are where I desire to visit very much and most probably your best choices.
Milford Sound
It’s one of New Zealand’s largest fjords(峡湾) formed during the ice age. You can take a little
light boat to travel down a river that flows into mini- lakes. Hiking(徒步旅行) here allows you to
be surrounded by some of the most beautiful sights in the world. Tourists can feel like stepping into a hidden world. After visiting here, one will realize the great beauty of our world.
The Rainbow Mountains
These geographical (地理的) wonders look as if they were painted with a giant paintbrush. The
bright colors stand obviously among the surrounding green plants. Wild as it is, these mountains are a part of our world in China’s Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park. This wild variety of
color does exist in the real world. No Photoshop is necessary for the natural beauty of these mountains.
