【推荐1】Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies:
‘Thelma and Louise'(1991)
“Thelma and Louise,” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.
Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.
‘Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014)
It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapes and a secret concierge (看门人) society.
Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.
‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'(200)
When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.
The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.
‘The Trip to Italy' (2014)
In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs.

【推荐2】Located in the middle of Turkey, the Cappadocia region is visited by millions of tourists each year who go for its volcanic rock formations, colorful cliffs and valleys, and ancient buildings carved into the rock. Here are some of the best things to do if you are visiting Cappadocia.
Hot air balloon ride
Perhaps one of the best ways to see Cappadocia’s landscape is from the sky. A popular activity for tourists is a hot air balloon ride over the region, which is home to Goreme National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As they fly, tourists can watch the natural rock tower formations known as “fairy chimneys” pass underneath, joining as many as 150 colorful balloons in the air on the same day.
Exploring underground cities
Cappadocia is also known for the 200 or more underground cities carved into its soft volcanic rock. The largest of these cities, Derinkuyu, has 18 levels of tunnels and could be over 3,000 years old. Rediscovered in the 1960s, it is one of several underground cities in the area that are now open to the public.
ATV tours
For a higher-energy experience, consider an all-terrain vehicle(ATV)tour. Often lasting around two hours, the tours will stop at some of the top places to take pictures and enjoy the view. The best time of day to do an ATV tour is at sunset, when the rocks reflect the light from the sun in pink and red colors.
Hiking trails
For those who would like to do things more slowly, the region also offers many hiking trails that pass historical sites and places to enjoy the view. For example, visitors can find churches carved into the rock in Rose Valley and see ancient pigeon houses—carved into the rock for raising pigeons—on the Pigeon Valley hike.
