【推荐3】For those looking forward to exploring natural wonders, we will present four natural wonders in the US that we believe are worth visiting.

Death Valley National Park

It is the lowest, hottest, and driest part of North America. The hottest summer on record in the valley saw temperatures top 120.F on 40 days. Ground temperatures as high as 201.F have been reported. Still, Death Valley is called with the wrong words. There are areas that are friendly to plants and animals. Death Valleys “walking” rocks move on their own as a result of freezing and thawing (融化).

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone's Old Faithful Geyser is powered by an underground super volcano. In 1872, Yellowstone became the world's first national park. The park's wildlife includes bison, bears, and hundreds of other animals.

Crater (坑) of Diamonds (钻石) State Park

Discovered in Crater of Diamonds State Park, the 40-carat is the largest diamond ever found in the US. The diamonds and the crater are by-products of a volcanic eruption. Visitors can search the 37-acre site for diamonds and if you find it you keep it.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Located on the big island -of Hawaii, the Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes are the centerpieces of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. You can see how the Hawaiian Islands were born and watch the big island get bigger. Kilauea has been erupting since 1983

【推荐3】Making travel a surprise

Most people plan their vacations well in advance, including where they are going.     1    .

Earlier this year, mystery box purchases surged (激增) among young American people. Usually, travelers buy a mystery box at a low price—usually 100 or 200 dollars—and then receive several destination options to choose from.     2    .

A citizen named Carrie is eager to go on a mystery box trip, stating that travelling alone usually costs too much and that too many people don’t know where to go. ”However, the mystery box directly offers me a few destinations, which is wonderful and cheap,“ Carrie said.

Gary, 16, has turned his eagerness to go on a mystery box trip into a reality.     3    . With its reputation of super Internet-famous places, Gary had a change of his opinion after seeing Austin himself. “My biggest discovery is that Austin is a city full of contrasts,” Gary said. “You can see skyscrapers and old houses in old alleys (巷子) in the same view.”

    4    . For example, Eureka, despite its scenic views, previously received few visitors due to a lack of promotion. But after it was included as a mystery box travel destination, Eureka has since got lots of attention.

    5     because they can meet with many problems after purchasing one, such as poor travel times and sudden flight cancellations (取消). Robert from Department of Tourism Management of University of Washington suggested that visitors should choose reliable platforms and sign contracts to guarantee their trip rights.
