2 . In the heart of the Cyclades, Mykonos has long been an attraction for visitors. The beaches on the island’s southwest coast are among the Mediterranean’s best wild-party scenes, but head east and travelers will find something quite different. Here, the crowds slowly fade away, revealing what originally made the island famous: its beauty with rocky coastline and sandy bays.
Fokos Bay
Park your vehicle in the dirt lot and climb over the low dunes (沙丘) to find perfect little Fokos Bay, where deep, sheltered waters offer delightful swimming for all ages. Once you’ve worked up a bit of an appetite, head on over to the famous Greek cafe overlooking the sand for a lazy seafood lunch.
Mersini Beach
Head west around the headland to the next beach along — the Mersini Beach, which is usually the least-crowded on Mykonos. Bring your own sun mat and even an umbrella as this beach is completely wild and raw.
Agrari Beach
If getting your own wheels isn’t an option, Agrari is only a 15-minute walk east of the more famous Elia Beach and on the south coast beach ferry(渡轮) route. It’s one of the closest uncrowded beaches to Hora, Mykonos’ main town, and home to a restaurant that provides sunbeds and drinks and snacks.
Kalafati Beach
In the far southeast, about seven miles from Mykonos town, the Kalafati Beach is beloved for its steady winds that blow the sails of windsurfers and kite surfers. Rent boards and get lessons right at the beach at Windsurfing Mykonos.

5 . Jiuzhaigou National Park is located in the mountainous region of southwest China.
Colorful lakes
The lakes in Jiuzhaigou National Park are clear all year round.
The most famous lake in the park is Five Flower Lake, also known as Peacock Lake.
Fascinating waterfalls
Jiuzhaigou is home to some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in China, including the must-see Nuorilang Waterfall and Pearl Shoal Waterfall.
Nuorilang Waterfall is the widest waterfall in China. It measures 270 meters in width and covers a height of 2,365 meters. Pearl Shoal Waterfall is considered the park’s most beautiful waterfall.
Blue ice & snow-capped mountains
During the cold winter months, waterfalls in the park freeze. This results in a beautiful show of ice curtains, ice sheets, and ice balls. What’s truly unique about this phenomenon is that the light changes the ice into a clear blue.
Apart from the impressive blue ice throughout the park, there is also plenty of snow covering the valley in winter. What Jiuzhaigou is well-known for, however, is its snow-capped mountain s which silently guard this dream-like valley.

It is a five-hour trip that starts at noon and covers 88 kilometers of sea, and it will be the best $98 you ever spent.
