It's so relaxing to take a bath in a hot spring while looking at beautiful scenery. If you travel in the U.S., plan to visit one of these hot springs:
Travertine Hot Springs
At the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California are the Travertine Hot Springs. The orange, green and red rocks create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. Each pool is a different temperature, so you can find one that you like.
These springs are easy to get to by car. Go south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along the road. While you are there, try visiting Mono Lake and Yosemite National Park.
Bagby Hot Springs
The Bagby Hot Springs are located in an old forest. At the springs there are bathhouses, with private and shared baths. Spring water in the baths is at 136°F. If that's too hot, you can add cold water until it is suitable for you.
The Bagby Springs are about 45 minutes from Oregon. To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk through the Mt. Hood National Forest. Make sure to also visit Portland, which is known for its coffee, local beer and music.
Conundrum Hot Springs
If you like to hike, the Conundrum Hot Springs in Colorado are a great choice. There is an 8.5-mile hike to the springs. You can walk out and camp nearby the springs. After the hike, rest your muscles in the water and enjoy the mountain views.

【推荐2】Knoebels
Knoebels is often an award winner for its attractions, but the food is the real star to many. Knoebels prices everything as if the clock had stopped in 1982.You won’t believe the cost of many menu items and will feel charged too much at any theme park that you visit after this one. The park even employs the old-timey ticket system where you pay only for the rides that you want rather than a general admission price.
Kennywood
Kennywood began as a trolley(无轨电车)park, a place where guests were encouraged to visit trolley lines, even on the weekend when the services weren’t needed. These social gatherings involved picnics and various forms of entertainment. Several of the rides today are older than you and possibly even your grandparents.
Luna Park
Luna Park is the home of the Coney Island Cyclone, the greatest roller coaster(过山车)of the early 20th century. You can take a ride on the same roller coaster from the William Taft administration. While New Yorkers of a certain age know this place as Astroland, which operated from 1962 through 2008, the present name is fit for its heritage(遗产)and importance in theme park history.
Hersheypark
Hersheypark has a decided candy emphasis, but you’ll find more than just sweets here. Some of the attractions are very wonderful. Skyrush was one of the first winged coasters on the planet and is still the tallest and fastest ride at the park. In total, the park has 14 roller coasters,15 water rides, and a bunch of attractions that date back 50 years or more.

【推荐1】Must-read Books that Are Hitting the Big Screen This Year
The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman
Starring: Jessica Chastain and Johan Heldenbergh
Release Date: July 31, 2017
This true story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Ackerman artfully retells the story of Jan and Zabinski and how they used their zoo to save over three hundred people from the Nazis. After their zoo was bombed, they managed to hide people in animal cages, giving animal names to their guests and human names to their animals. This is one story we truly hope lives up to the hype (大肆宣传) on film.
The Lost City of Z by David Grann
Starring: Sienna Miller and Robert Pattinson
Release Date: August 14, 2017
Looking for adventure? This story is just what you need. The book (and film) tells the tale of British explorer Percy Fawcett and how he ventured into the Amazon jungle in 1925, never to return. It’s an enchanting mystery that we can’t wait to see play out on screen.
The Dinner by Herman Koch
Starring: Richard Gere and Rebecca Hall
Release Date: October 5, 2017
We always say we’d do absolutely anything for our kids, right? The story begins with two couples politely, eating dinner together, avoiding a conversation about their children who have committed a horrific act. As the story goes on, you’ll see just how far these parents will go to protect the ones they love.
The Circle by Dave Eggers
Starring: Emma Watson and Patton Oswalt
Release Date: November 28, 2017
A young woman, Mae, is hired to work for a powerful Internet company and feels like she’s hit the job jackpot. The facility is very advanced, lively, and a bit wild. Mae’s story begins as one of ambitions but soon turns into a heart-racing story of suspense (悬念).

【推荐3】Whether you’re brand new to hiking or looking to discover your next favorite trail (路线), hiking apps might be the tool to help you get there. Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs.
1．G-GPS
G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) tools designed for remote mountainous areas. For some hikers, dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database are a must for a hiking app. G-GPS has both, which makes it a great option for beginners and expert hikers alike. It provides data like pace, distance and increased height. Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service.
If you’re a fan of cold-temperature hiking, this app’s paid version ($40) has a winter map choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather.
2．P-Finder
Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak, looking at another mountain and wondering “What peak is that?”
If you’d like to avoid the problem, P-Finder might be the app for you. It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike.
Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name.
You can buy the app for $5 on its official website.
3．N-Land
N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地).
By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more. You can even do this if you’re offline. This app is an ongoing project, and maps of new territories are regularly added.
You’ll likely want to use this app together with another app such as A-Trails or V-Ranger, if you’re also seeking navigational help.

Conway: On the north Wales coast, Conway is where you’ll find the world’s smallest house, as well as a much larger “house”, Conway Castle, which was built in the 13th century.
Anglesey: This beautiful island is joined to the rest of north Wales by a road bridge and a railway bridge, and it’s just a short drive from Conway. Here you can visit the village of Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll which has the strangest name in Europe. Don’t miss the station. The sign runs the complete length of the platform! Also on Anglesey is Beaumaris Castle, which was started in the 13th century and to this day remains unfinished.
Snowdonia: Just a couple of hours’ drive from Beaumaris is the Snowdonia mountain range, which takes its name from the highest mountain in Wales, Mount Snowdon. From there, visit the famous Swallow Falls at nearby Betwsy-Coed.
Portmeirion: In 1925 Clough, Williams-Ellis bought an attractive piece of Welsh land for less than ￡5,000. He then set out to show the world how a naturally beautiful castle could be built without being damaged and spent the next 50 years building the town of Portmeirion with a style of Italy.

【推荐2】English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mail are in English.Of all languages，English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.
However，let's face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant，neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy，while sweetbreads，which aren't sweet，are meat.
We take English for granted.But when we.explore its paradoxes（探讨它的矛盾），we find that quicksand can work slowly，boxing rings are square，public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes，but fingers don't finger，grocers don't grocers，and hammers don't ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth，shouldn't the plural of.booth be teeth？One goose，two geese-so one moose，two meese？
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same，while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites？How can overlook and oversee be opposites，while quite a lot and quite a few are alike？
How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？
English was invented by people，not computers，and it reflects（反映）the creativity of hu-
man beings.That's why，when stars are out，they are visible（能看见的）；but when the lights are out，they are invisible.And why，when I wind up my watch，I start it；but when I wind up this essay，I end it.
