South Korea 🇰🇷
Hwadam Botanical Garden (화담숲) is located in the city of Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do Province. The garden, which can be reached from Seoul within just a 40-minute drive, is a real ecological mini-country.
The idea of creating the Hwadam Park, which is to strive for the preservation and restoration of the ecosystem, belongs to the LG Foundation Association.
The garden, in which about 4,300 species of various local and foreign plants and trees grow, is divided thematically into several zones, and its name "Khvadam" can literally be translated as “to talk peacefully".
India 🇮🇳
A quiet evening in Delhi
Delhi is one of the largest cities in the world, almost thirty million people live here.
Delhi is a very green city – almost twenty percent of its area is covered with forests and parks.
However, Delhi is the most polluted capital in the world. Because of the huge amount of transport, smoky smog constantly hangs over the city.
Maldives 🇲🇻
A unique experience that you can get in the Maldives is swimming with nurse sharks.
These are large predators that hunt at night, and during the day they are quite peaceful creatures that bite only if they feel threatened.
If you decide to swim with them, it is important not to make too sudden movements so as not to frighten them and provoke aggression.
USA 🇺🇸, McWay Falls
McWay Falls is located in Julia-Pfeiffer-Burns State Park in California.
Its height is 24 meters. Initially, its waters fell directly into the ocean, but after landslides, McWay "meets" the ocean only at high tide. The rest of the time, the water "catches up" with the ocean along a small strip of sandy beach.
The latter is difficult to reach for hikers, but you can easily get there by boat.
Iceland 🇮🇸
Good morning from Iceland 🦭
The glacial lagoon of Jokulsarlon (Jökulsárlón) is one of the business cards of Iceland.
Norway 🇳🇴
The top of the Reinebringen Mountain is one of the most popular places on the Lofoten Islands. It is from here that most of the "classic" panoramic photos of Lofotens were taken with views of the archipelago, the fishing harbor, mountain lakes, the Rheinefjord and the picturesque town of Rheine.
Rheinebringen has several peaks, and "panoramic" is not the highest of them. The final point of the route is at a relatively low altitude of 448 meters, but because of the steep ascent, the ascent does not seem like an easy walk.
Georgia 🇬🇪
Rabat Fortress is one of the most beautiful and largest medieval fortresses on the territory of Georgia. The fortress is divided into two parts with a total area of more than 7 hectares: historical and new.
In the historical one you can visit an interesting museum, a Turkish mosque, a madrasah (Muslim school), a citadel, an Orthodox church and Turkish baths.
In the modern part there is the main tourist infrastructure: a luxury hotel, a restaurant, several coffee bars, a wine shop, souvenir shops, an information center and even a registry office.
The fortress has several stunning observation decks located in 4 observation towers and on the roof of the citadel, from which picturesque panoramas of Akhaltsikhe open.

Tranquility and harmony on Lake Buttermere in England
Germany 🇩🇪
Hohenzollern Castle is one of the most recognizable and popular attractions in Germany. Located 50 km south of the city of Stuttgart, the capital of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg.
For a long time it was the family patrimony of the powerful Hohenzollern dynasty, which ruled the country from the XII century to 1918 inclusive.
Not far from the ancient castle-fortress are the settlements of Bizingen and Hechingen, and it itself is located on the top of the Hohenzollern Mountain, which the locals simply call Zoller (or Zollern), majestically "looking" at the surroundings from a height of 855 meters.
Caribbean Sea
Have you ever imagined how modern huge cruise liners behave in a storm or bad weather?
Water on the deck, flying furniture, waves hitting the cabin windows… But in reality, it's not so scary.
Modern overall vessels are able to withstand any weather. Of course, there have been cases when cruise liners overturned, but the probability of such an outcome is extremely small. After all, they are built using the latest technologies and their capabilities and safety are many times superior to the infamous Poseidon and Titanic.
Ecuador 🇪🇨, the Devil's Nose railway
"Nariz del Diablo" or "Devil's Nose" is the name of a special section of the railway that runs through the Andes in Ecuador.
The cliff got its name from the locals, who considered this place cursed. During the construction of the railway, more than two thousand people died here. The reasons for this were frequent seismic activity, yellow fever, diphtheria, attacks of wild animals and other accidents.
This dangerous section was built by prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment. Basically, these are Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans who, after the successful completion of the work, were promised clemency.
China 🇨🇳
Chinese megacities have long overtaken even the famous Times Square in New York in terms of colorfulness at night 🤩
Italy 🇮🇹
One of the most instagrammable places in the Dolomites. Rifugio delle odle is a mountain hut with a restaurant located in the Puez–Geisler National Park on an alpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks.
The hut is famous for its wooden sun beds overlooking the mountain range.
UAE 🇦🇪, Dubai
The city of Dubai is a little more than two centuries old, but until the moment when oil was found in its vicinity in the late 60s of the last century, it was a quiet and not too impressive town.
Dubai is one of the hottest cities in the world. In summer, the temperature in the shade here often rises to + 50 degrees.
The crime rate in Dubai tends to zero. And the laws in the UAE are very strict to violators.
China 🇨🇳
The Gobi Desert is one of the largest deserts in the world and the largest desert in Asia. A huge arc of a long chain of deserts and semi-deserts stretches for more than 1600 km in the southern third of Mongolia and the northern provinces of China.
Geographers divide this Asian desert into the Trans-Altai and Mongolian Gobi, Alashan, Gashun Gobi and Dzungaria.
Switzerland 🇨🇭
In the very center of Switzerland, a miracle of technology that has broken a world record works for tourists: an innovative funicular with the greatest steepness of slope in the world connects Schwyz with the ski resort of Stos.
Since its opening in December 2017, this funicular has been a real magnet for countless tourists from various countries. The funicular is truly unique: its cabins are perfectly adapted for a comfortable climb up an extremely steep slope, and passengers maintain an upright position at any time.
To overcome the slope up to 110 percent (47 degrees) is a serious achievement! The small Alpine village of Stos in the mountains of Central Switzerland lies at an altitude of about 1300 meters above sea level.
Italy 🇮🇹, Rome, Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli
Baroque Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli erected in 1662-1667 to store the venerated icon of the Mother of God, considered miraculous. The icon is called Santa Maria in Portico (St. Mary in the portico), dates from the 11th century and is made in a rare enamel technique for Rome.
The Romans prayed to this icon for salvation from the plague. When in 1656 a particularly terrible plague epidemic that struck Rome began to wane, grateful citizens decided to build a new church for the icon.
The miraculous icon is placed above the main altar of the church, and is surrounded by a magnificent gilded frame with twisted columns (photo 2), made by Giovanni Antonio de Rossi and Ercole Ferrata.
Thailand 🇹🇭
Pileh Lagoon is a mandatory point of the route on excursions to the Phi Phi archipelago.
Pileh Lagoon is the deepest lagoon in Thailand, formed as a result of a fracture of the earth's crust. Thanks to the limestone rocks at the bottom, the color of the water is simply unrealistically beautiful, as if you are looking through a Photoshop filter.
Thais believe that bathing in this lagoon has a rejuvenating effect, thanks to the composition of the water. It is saltier here than in the Andaman Sea.
Much like its Japanese counterpart, the Siberian Cherry Blossom symbolizes the transient nature of life, renewal, and the beauty found in fleeting moments
