4 . Treasure Hunt Through Modern-Day Ruins

Urban exploration of abandoned man-made structures became popular in the 1990s when modern society was fast forwarding into the next century. Left behind were relics of human civilization. Far away from modernization, rusted in air, tangled in weeds and vines, ruins tell forgotten tales and sometimes become history in and of themselves.

Punch Buggy Scrapyard

MOAB, UTAH

Vintage car lovers won’t want to miss this huge car disposal yard, the impressive open-air TomTom’s Volkswagen graveyard-a father-and-son cooperation begun in 1961 with eight cars. From buses to Beetles to Karmann Ghias to Squarebacks, hundreds of cars, car windows, doors and tires form a rainbow colored fleet contrasting with the dry yellow ground.

Game of Thrones’ End

KUPARI, CROATIA

Six miles east of Dubrovnik, one of the main filming locations of the hit series Game of Thrones’ King’s Landing, is a bay of abandoned hotels that witnessed Croatia’s real power play. It was once a seaside resort for the military elite before the Yugoslav army destroyed it during the Croatian War in the 1990s. What exists today at the complex of former glory are overgrown weeds, graffiti and rusty remains.

Once Upon a Gold

ATHENS

Stadiums that once housed tears and sweat, cheers and boos during the 2004 Olympic games are now left for weeds. The beach volleyball arena, aquatics center and other venues were abandoned because of little local interest and lack of planning when the $15 billion grand building was being erected.

Twining Romance

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

Nearly a century ago, Spanish sugarcane cutter José Paronella wanted to build a castle in the rainforest for his wife. The resulting wonderland-Paronella Park-with vines twining on stone pillars and moss peeping out from cracks has been open to the public since 1935. Its current owners are dedicated to “maintaining and preserving” the primitive beauty of this renowned carbon neutral tourist attraction with 7,500 flora and fauna (动植物).

Located at a 30-minute drive from Wuzhen, Maming village is the polar opposite of the famed     1     (tour) destinations. There are hardly any crowds here. The old houses are not as well maintained. Time seems to stand still in the village, making it a perfect day-trip destination for travelers who want     2     authentic experience of rural life.

    3     most people are sill asleep at 3 a.m., Tu Yuanqing and his father are already up on their feet, arranging cups, boiling water and preparing tea     4     (leaf) for their teahouse. Around 4 a.m., the space is a hive of activity as elderly residents, most of them     5     (age) sixty and above, sip cups of tea while     6     (chat) cheerfully with one another. Some villagers can also     7     (find) playing mahjong in a small room lit by a solitary light bulb.

Here, tea is a way of life. The street that the Tu teahouse is on may only be fifty meters long, but there are three other similar establishments. Not that anyone really cares about the     8     (compete). Tu says he helps run the teahouse, which was handed     9     to him by his grandfather,     10     (simple) because it is an integral part of their village culture.

9 . London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.

Time Zone

Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year (starting at Daylight Saving Time).

Best Time to Go

The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and London’s gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.

Things to Know

Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness ;it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.

How to Get Around

Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, are paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.
