Ten countries that are most suitable for traveling.
Australia, 1
When you see a boulder standing on the earth, like a burning heart; When you are in another place on the horizon, you see a lot of sandstone piled up together, just like an ancient city cast by nature; When you see the dome of the Opera House slowly emerging like a white sail in the calm Sydney Harbour, you don't need to remind that this is the beautiful and vast Australia.
Sunshine, sandy beaches, vast inland areas, dense rainforests, beautiful Great Barrier Reef, unique kangaroos and koalas, Queensland's Gold Coast, charming cities, friendly and pluralistic society, and warm and comfortable human environment are irresistible temptations for tourists all over the world, and China people who are getting rich gradually are no exception.
Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, surrounded by the sea, far from other countries, and is the most lonely country in the world. The word Australia comes from Latin, which means "unknown southern continent". Australia is the flattest continent in the world, with a land area of 7.7 million square kilometers, the sixth largest country in the world, and the only country in the world that owns the whole continent. The four seasons in Australia are just the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere. The cold winter in China happens to be the hot summer in Australia, and when the autumn wind begins in Australia, it is the time when China is in full bloom. Santa Claus in Australia wears a shirt and a thin coat during the Christmas in the snowy northern solar calendar of 65438+February.
The first thing worth seeing is Australia's ocean scenery. Mainland Australia is an independent island with a coastline of 36,735 kilometers, which is composed of endless sea sand. Imagine how comfortable it would be to lie on the blue waves, sunshine and beach! Australia also has the most beautiful underwater world on earth. The Great Barrier Reef, a world natural heritage, is Australia's largest marine park, stretching over 2,000 kilometers along the Queensland coast, with the most colorful ecological environment of animals and plants on the earth. Ningjialu Reef in Western Australia is the second largest marine park in Australia, covering 5,000 square kilometers of ocean, where whale shark watching activities are world-famous. In shark bay, which is also listed as a world natural heritage, you can even feed wild dolphins yourself!
In the vast inland, red sand desert, white salt basin, colorful canyons and boulders are also unique landscapes in Australia. In remote inland areas, Kimberly is the last largest inland wild area in the world, with a length of 420,000 kilometers. There is an endless horizon, ancient canyons and beautiful scenery here. Among them, the most worth visiting is Purnurulululu National Park, which has a unique geographical form and is as spectacular as a beehive. Due to the low temperature in the canyon, the soil was affected and sandstone was formed. In addition, the wind and sand erosion since ancient times has formed a strange scene at present.
Australia has a population of 6.5438+0.86 million, and most of its residents are concentrated in big cities on the east coast and southeast corner. Australia is also the country with the lowest population density in the world, with only two people living per square kilometer. This population distribution determines that Australian cities are also very distinctive. Sydney, Australia's largest city, is full of sunshine, joy and color. You can feel the vitality of Sydney from its weather, beautiful harbour, luxurious inland areas and charming beaches. The whole city is filled with elegant temperament, gorgeous but not vulgar, very individual. The scenery of Sydney Harbour is intoxicating. You can take a luxury cruise to enjoy picturesque scenery and enjoy seafood in restaurants on both sides of the strait. Marked by the world-famous Sydney Opera House, it has a strong musical and cultural atmosphere. Under the influence of immigrants in the past decades, Sydney has gathered a variety of food cultures, from Greek food to Lebanese food, from Japanese food to Indian food. Australian food is characterized by the combination of fresh ingredients and eastern and western cultures. Besides, endless wine, bars and lounges are all appetizing.
Australians love outdoor life and know how to enjoy life. When you travel to Australia, you can take part in all kinds of sports and activities, from excitement to leisure and comfort. If you are brave enough, you can climb to the top of the 134-meter-high Sydney Bridge and overlook Sydney Harbour 360 degrees. In Australia, you can also take part in group swimming activities with dolphins. In the blue ocean, it is definitely a pleasure to have lovely dolphins as companions.
It takes only 12 hours to fly from Beijing to Sydney to cross half the world, and then you set foot on a completely different continent. The hardships of the journey can be doubled here. When Australia's beautiful scenery, wine, food and, of course, passionate Australian beauty appear in front of you, who can be indifferent?

4. New Zealand
Just now, I read a funny article, "Close contact with Koh Samui, 30 pairs of shorts in Bangkok ..." It was really funny. I'm arranging a trip to Koh Samui, and I don't even want to go after reading this!
Anyway, it's a mess. I have nothing to do. Just write about my feelings about going to New Zealand!
The plane is full _ maybe others think it doesn't matter, but it's the first time I take a long-distance plane, and it's swollen to death. You can't sleep if you want to. This head is uncomfortable at any angle and position. I want to cut it off.
On February 9th, 2005, the first day of the New Year in China, I took an Asiana Airlines plane and transferred to New Zealand via Seoul (because it happened to be China New Year, I didn't transfer from Hongkong). The distance from Shanghai to Seoul is only 1 hour and 1 quarter hour, which is acceptable, but it takes 12 and a half hours for Seoul to New Zealand. No movies, no games, only the schematic diagram of the plane route: the flight altitude is 65438+100000 meters, the speed is 96 1 km, the remaining time is10 hour and 45 minutes, the destination time ... I feel dizzy and can't sleep. I really watch, count and read every minute. I hope to arrive soon.
Summer in New Zealand is really a pleasant place. But strangely, almost every day is sunny in the morning, hot at noon, cloudy in the afternoon and heavy rain at night. Everyone doesn't lock the door, and there seems to be no thief.
Attractions 1: Paiheya
Paiheya is about 3 hours' drive from Auckland. Before the bus arrives in the town, you can see the blue beach, leisurely people are walking and swimming ... We stayed in the best four-star hotel in the area, and on the hillside, we can see the sea when we go out. There are skateboards and sailboats everywhere on the roadside.
Dinner was in a famous local western restaurant-"35 degrees".
This western restaurant is by the sea, and the food is delicious. What makes us China people unaccustomed is that no matter what kind of dishes, there are French fries, beef, glistening chicken and fish, seasoned with some peppers and salt. Every meal has cream caramel or tea or coffee/wine/water. After only two meals, I want to eat pickles, edamame and soaked rice at home.
New Zealand's fresh milk is layers of oil, hee hee, I found it. Breakfast is fried, sausage, mushrooms and BBF. No matter how good things are, I can't stand them every day.
Of course, having said that, the most interesting thing about Pai He Ya is not food and shelter. Instead, while enjoying many beautiful islands in Duodao Bay, we can go sightseeing at sea and watch dolphins. Too many, I have to play together ... the whole voyage of this ship takes about four and a half hours. If you get seasick, please take seasickness medicine.
Attraction 2: The northernmost part of New Zealand
The first attraction at Cape Rhingo is the 90-mile-long beach facing tasman sea. There you can feel the spectacular splash when the car passes by. Facing the sand dunes behind, everyone will rush down like children. Standing at the front of the Cape, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of tasman sea Island bathed in the Pacific Ocean. Generally speaking, this is the northernmost part of New Zealand.
Attraction 3: smelly Rotrou.
Why do you say it stinks Because I really can't open the window. The smell of sulfur is everywhere. Plumes of smoke are everywhere. Almost two days in A Dai, Rotlau. You can visit the Maori Culture Village and Maori Culture College, visit Porini West Asian culture such as shipbuilding, building and clothing, and watch mud ponds and geothermal fountains. Take a natural hot spring bath after watching the Maori song and dance performance in the hotel. Children have a children's water park. Adults can enjoy playing in pools with different temperatures. .
Strolling along Lake A in Rotrou, black swans swim around. That kind of comfort is indescribable. Feeling is the fairy tale world I yearn for.
Of course, when you go to New Zealand and Australia, you almost always have to watch sheep shearing and sheepdog performances. You can also go on stage to experience the fun of milking and breastfeeding lambs and get a milking certificate. Ha ha! !
Attraction 4: Auckland, the capital
We live in Sky City, where there is a big casino. We can try and win some money. It is also ok to go to DFS to buy some sheep oil and chocolate the next day! The lowest price is NZ $25 per chip, so I can only play slot machines ... not bad, and the evening passes quickly.
New Zealanders are very protective of animals. For example, when we watched the national bird "kiwi" in Maori cultural village, it was dark and we couldn't take pictures ... Watching penguins in the aquarium was no exception.
If you want to be like me, you might as well take Asiana Airlines, because when you return, you can stay in South Korea for one night, either in the center of Seoul, near the airport or in airport hotel. Although I don't know the star rating, it is at least hundreds of times more expensive than hotels in New Zealand! Clean and compact, meet the needs of Asians. Hehe, there's something new. Everything belongs to LG and SUMSANG. This Korean visa is valid for 1 month!
We tasted authentic Korean barbecue, kimchi and soy sauce.
Maybe others won't be like me, but I took all the means of transportation in eight days. The trip to New Zealand was a great success!
5. America
The full name of the United States is the United States of America, with a land area of 96 13 123 square kilometers. In terms of land area, the United States ranks fourth in the world, but in terms of economy, it is recognized as a superpower. Its industry is famous for its advanced technology, complete categories, rich resources, strong productivity and high labor productivity.
At present, the output of major industrial products in the United States, such as oil, natural gas, electricity, copper, ethylene, automobiles and airplanes, as well as microelectronics, computer technology, laser technology, aerospace technology, nuclear energy utilization and research and development of new materials, are in a leading position in the world.

The United States is rich in tourism resources, and it is also a country with a very developed tourism industry, with the grandeur of the Colorado Grand Canyon and the momentum of Niagara Falls. The romance of Hollywood, the comfort of Disneyland, the splendor of Las Vegas and so on are all fascinating. The United States is a vast country, spanning many climatic zones. From the subtropical zone in southern Florida, summer to the freezing winter in Michigan and northern Vermont, there is a huge difference, so it is best to determine the travel date according to the city and region you are going to.
The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island, New York, USA. You can visit the Statue of Liberty in the following ways:
First, tourists can take a yacht tour around the island and then take a helicopter tour around the island. However, it is more cost-effective to take a boat. Visitors can also take a trip to Liberty Island and enjoy the Statue of Liberty, which has always been admired by thousands of people. If we want to trace the origin of this statue, we can start with the gift given by France to celebrate the centenary of American independence. The Statue of Liberty, which symbolizes the friendship between the two countries, holds the Declaration of Independence in her left hand, holds the torch in her right hand, looks straight ahead, and fully exudes heroic demeanor. She encouraged countless immigrants to the United States to realize their dreams, so she is not only a symbol of new york, but also a symbol of the United States.
Visitors who want to go to Liberty Island can cross the sea by ferry in Battey Park, which takes about 15 minutes, and the price is 6 dollars per person. If you have time after landing, you can take the elevator to the foot of the Statue of Liberty, and then climb the remaining 168 steps to the observation deck of the back crown. From the observation deck here, you can overlook the scenery of Manhattan. If you go in the evening, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Manhattan at sunset.
Hawaii has infinite charm. There are world-famous active volcano parks, more than 2,000 kinds of flowers everywhere, and beautiful beaches connected by water and sky. These beautiful landscapes make this island group in the Pacific Ocean a paradise on earth. Oahu Island is also called "Rainbow Island", and Waikiki is its essence, which not only represents the tropical atmosphere of sunshine and laughter, but also exudes the charm of romantic yearning. The Yali Sauna Memorial Hall, a relic of Pearl Harbor during World War II, was built on the sunken Yali Sauna boat at that time, and the warships rippling under the water waves can still be seen today. You have to stay in Oahu for at least one day and one night to fully enjoy it. It would be a pity to stop and browse a little if you don't pay attention to the arrangement of the trip around the island.
Maui, another small island, was once a paradise for whalers, so Pioneer State, a tourist attraction here, is also related to whaling. As for the active volcano Big Isand, because of many volcanic eruptions in the past, the magma dyed one mountain after another into black land, forming an interesting black beach, and it is unforgettable because it is adjacent to Mauan Kea Snow Mountain. Orchids are everywhere here, adding icing on the cake to the beautiful Hawaiian islands. Because there are many overseas Chinese in Hawaii, and this charming island has perfect tourist facilities, it is really an ideal holiday resort.
Las Vegas is a desert city in the southern tip of Nevada. The traffic to Las Vegas is very convenient. Las Vegas, with 250 casinos and more than 60,000 "slot machines", is the most luxurious city that never sleeps in the world.

In the casino, there are trolleys for service personnel to exchange foreign currency for guests. Every casino has a variety of gambling tools for guests to choose from, and tourists and gamblers are bustling and intoxicated. Slot machines, slot machines and gambling equipment buzzers have come and gone, forming a unique landscape of Las Vegas. Las Vegas has now become a tourist city covering an area of 30 square kilometers, where the top ten most luxurious hotels in the world are concentrated. Las Vegas has the highest crime rate in America.
The Colorado Grand Canyon is located in the interior of North America, between Arizona and Utah. The climate here is dry and vast, with strange rocks, red soil, canyons and Indian customs. In American western movies, lonely heroes or cowboy heroes who robbed the rich and helped the poor and upheld justice a hundred years ago rode horses and carried guns, galloped in barren red clay canyons, crossed the turbulent Colorado River, and filmed endless picturesque scenes under the setting sun. The four southwestern States in the western United States-Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico-naturally become the ideal places for tourists to experience the cowboy life in the west. No matter which route you take to visit the Colorado Grand Canyon, the traffic is very convenient. ...
