Beautiful Moraine Lake, Alberta surrounded by snowy mountains
The spectacular turquoise water in Moraine Lake will take your
breath away. To see this beautiful lake, you have to hike a little bit. The road
to the lake is closed during winter time. Moraine Lake is a glacial lake locates in Banff National Park in Canada.
For that the lake sits at a high elevation of 1883 meters, so it’s mostly
frozen throughout the year. The best time to visit would be late June or early July
when the temperature is higher and that would be the time that intense vivid
blue water shines bright like a diamond. There are several hiking trails around
the lake, it can take 3 to 4 hours or if you would like to do a round trip, it
can take up to eight hours.
The Tomb Raider adventurous scenery at Angkor ruins, Siem Reap
Angkor ruins in Cambodia along with Great Wall in China, Taj mahal
and Borobudur in India are so called the four wonders of the East. This ancient old town was covered
and disguised by the jungle for almost five hundred years until Henri
Mouhout, a French explorer in the 19th century first found Angkor and he wrote
“It is grander than
anything left to us by Greece or Rome and presents a sad contrast to the state
of barbarism in which the nation is now plunged.” Today, Angkor Wat is
not only a symbol of Cambodia. His magnificent architecture and rich culture
attract more than ten million of travelers a year from all over the world!
(Well, Chinese people contribute a lot of course.)
The Wave, Arizona for wavy kind of sand dunes
The wave is located in the very north of Arizona state, and it’s
in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. There is a continuous sand dune with
a wavy pattern on its surface, making the wave one of the world's leading
photographic hot spots. However, even though many photographs have been
circulated on the Internet, this hill has always maintained a deep sense of
mystery because it is not completely open to the outside world. There are only
20 lucky people who can have a glimpse of spectacular rock every day. To get a
permit, you have to apply it online on the 1st of the month, plus four months
pripr to your trip. Good luck!

long as it’s given good weather, the view from London eye is great from all
angles.

New York City screams insane energy! We are probably all very
familiar with the extreme enthusiasm for New York. Like the master builder,
Robert Moses once said "Every true New Yorker believes with all his heart
that when a New Yorker is tired of New York, he is tired of life." Yeah, a
bit dramatic.
It is a city of dreams (despite being so smelly) after all, and
several sources have ranked New York the most photographed city in the world.

Bridge, grand central terminal, Broadway, MOMA … … you name it.
