UAE 🇦🇪, Dubai
Dubai Miracle Garden opened its doors to visitors on February 14, 2013.

Technologies allow to use for this purpose the water from city drains which has passed cleaning.
China 🇨🇳, Huangtengxia Tianmen Sky Walk Glass Bridge
This bridge is a real engineering miracle. It rises above the gorge at an altitude of 500 meters, which is easy to compare with a building of 166 floors. The edge of the bridge and the rock into which it is built are separated by 358 meters. The structure resembles a tennis racket, which is spread over a cliff.
When tourists walk across the glass bridge, they hear the sudden sound of broken glass. A split second, which may seem like a real nightmare, and cracks appear on the glass!

By doing this, they miss the opportunity to see hundreds of other fields where there is not a soul.
You can buy a train ticket 100 kilometers from Amsterdam and rent a bike to visit private farm fields. There are several regions in the Netherlands where tulips are grown: in the north, northeast and south.

Maldives 🇲🇻
Why is the Maldives such a clear and blue sea?
Firstly, it is the purity of the water, because here it really is. The advantage of the Maldives is that they are located far enough away from trade routes, and therefore the water here remains clean and not poisoned. No oil fields, no heavy trucks.
Secondly, it is white sand because of the large amount of coral crumbs in it. Coral, as you understand, is also white. The rays of the sun, falling on the white bottom, are beaten off and create additional illumination of the water from below.
China 🇨🇳

In 1946, a paleontological expedition from the USSR discovered here the richest location of these ancient giant animals, not inferior in scale to the famous African location of Tendaguru.
In addition, there is a stunning sight of a lifeless "lunar" landscape with steep cliffs and baked earth.
Mexico 🇲🇽
Cuddling with a huge whale in the Gulf of Mexico Baja California.
Gray whales spend summer and autumn in the northern latitudes near the peninsulas of Alaska and Chukotka, where they fatten and gain fat in the company of killer whales and humpbacks.
From January to April, they chose shallow lagoons, bays and bays on the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula – sharks and killer whales that pose a danger to cubs do not swim here.
In the 70s of the last century, local fishermen noticed that gray whales willingly swim up to the boats.

Since then, the hobby of watching gray whales has gained popularity among conscious travelers and has become on a par with photo safari and birdwatching.

India 🇮🇳
The Umngot River (or Dauki) is an amazing miracle of nature, because the water in it is completely transparent in the period from November to February.
In April 2021, the provincial government decided to build a dam on the river due to a shortage of electricity. The project was a 210 MW hydroelectric power plant.
It caused a negative reaction from local residents who feared that its construction would undermine tourism. In the end, the project was curtailed and the locals defended such beauty.

USA 🇺🇸
Morning Glory Lake – geothermal spring in Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park
The reservoir got its name in honor of the flower "Morning Glow" because of the identical sapphire color.
The popular ritual of tourists – to throw a coin as a keepsake – eventually turned into a real disaster for the lake. The water temperature dropped from 100 ° C to 75-50 ° C, which caused the reproduction of all kinds of bacteria.
Organisms painted the lake in various colors: cyanobacteria living at a water temperature of 73 ° C – yellow, protozoa unicellular (66 ° C) – orange, fungi and algae (60 ° C) – yellow / green, mosses (50 ° C) – brown.
