Best Things to Do in Boston in 2022
Boston is an energetic, alive city. However, choosing where to go and what to do isn’t easy in Boston. Here are some must-sees you simply can’t miss when you visit the city.
Downtown Crossing
The Downtown Crossing is an intersection (交汇处) of three major city streets: Washington, Winter, and Summer Streets. It’s home to some of the best shopping available in Boston, with plenty of walkable malls and parks to enjoy. Most of the well-known store brands have a storefront here. In addition, there are also many outdoor spaces.
Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail is a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burial grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond. It begins at the Boston Common and ends at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Walking here, every step tells a story.
Boston Harborwalk
The Boston Harborwalk is a public boardwalk that links all of Boston’s beautiful waterfront neighborhoods and harbor. This impressive waterfront is still under construction. When fully completed, it will extend 47 miles from East Boston, through Charles River and Millers River, to the Neponset River. Along the Boston Harborwalk are several indoor and outdoor displays of historical materials and memorials. Come here to enjoy the ocean scenery.
Harvard Museum of Natural History
The Harvard Museum of Natural History includes some jaw-dropping exhibits, like its centerpiece: the Marine Life exhibition. A complete recreation of the New England underwater ecosystem lies in a central aquarium, attracting anyone who loves marine (海洋的) life to visit. Visitors will encounter the diversity of life on Earth, from dinosaurs to large mammals, birds, and fish.

HIGHLIGHTS:
JUNEAU: Juneau, the state capital, is rich in culture and scenic beauty. It is here that we start and end our trip.

ALASKA INDIAN ARTS: Alaska Indian Arts is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to the preservation and continuation of traditional native craft and culture of the Northwest Native Tribes.

We spend a few hours learning carving, native beading (串珠饰) and culture from these master artists.
SKAGWAY: Skagway is famous for its role in the Klondike Gold Stampede over 100 years ago. Today, it is a historic yet lively town, which still reflects its gold rush roots and contains colourful shops. In Skagway, we stop by the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Visitor’s Centre and ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway.

Lake Titicaca, Peru
Peru is home to some of the greatest archaeological treasures in the world and exhibits some truly fascinating history. A homestay experience in Peru offers a vacation with a ton of insight into one of the most culturally and historically prosperous countries in the world. There are several homestays around Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in existence, providing authentic accommodations with the added value of a look at pre-Inca ruins and centuries-old agricultural terraces.
Amazon Rainforest, Brazil
If you’ve ever had the desire to explore the deepest reaches of the Amazon Rainforest, a Brazilian homestay could be a peaceful experience. Easily planned in Manaus, you can book a trip and be paired up with a local family. Friendly guides offer a healthy insight into the rainforest ecosystem and teach guests survival tips in a natural environment.
Yuvacali, Turkey
In Turkey’s southeast region, in the village of Yuvacali, visitors receive a raw experience of what daily life is like for local Kurdish families, a break from the busy urban life. A handful of families in the small village offer accommodation under the starry skies of Yuvacali in a tent decorated with colorful paintings or in a traditional, mud house.
Tighza Valley, Morocco
Throughout Morocco, there are abundant opportunities to experience a homestay with a local family. One particularly magical place is within the breathtaking Tighza Valley.

This is rural Moroccan life at its finest: simple and scenic.

【推荐3】The best beaches in Zanzibar
This archipelago, located on the east coast of Africa, is known for clear waters and white sands. Here are our favorites.
Nungwi Beach
This beach is located in the north of the island. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. If you like swimming, you will really enjoy yourself here. But be careful with the tides, because they can rise very fast and catch you. If you stay until sunset, you will be able to see an attractive one.
Paje Beach
It is in the east of the island and is famous for strong tides. You can also practice water sports such as kitesurfing, because this beach is known as one of the best in the world for this activity. Don’t worry about the food, as here you will find a great variety of restaurants with local and international dishes for all tastes.
Jambiani
Jambiani beach, one of the farthest beaches, is located southeast of the island. You can walk for miles to the sea, which is a real wonder, but do when the tide goes out. It is a very quiet and uncrowded beach.
Kiwengwa Beach
It is located on the northeast coast of Zanzibar, where the tides are strong and the water is warm, clean and clear. In the town of the same name, there are a lot of nightclubs, so it is a noisy but fun beach.
