5 . Treehouse Stays Around the Globe

Treehouse hotels are the perfect way to escape the pressure of everyday life and reconnect with nature. Placed high in the trees, treehouse hotels offer amazing views of the surrounding landscape, fresh air, and a sense of peace and quiet. Here are some treehouses that are sure to provide an unforgettable experience.

Visitors of this remarkable treehouse will take great pleasure in the awe-inspiring scenery of Hawaii’s coastlines. Nestled within a three-acre tropical rainforest farm, the one-bedroom treehouse spans 500 square feet, gracefully rising among fruit trees, with living trunks intricately woven through its core.

Ngala Treehouse is located at the borders of South Africa’s Kruger National Park. High in the trees, it offers stunning views of the surroundings．It is solar-powered and has all the facilities you would expect from a five-star hotel, including a chef’s kitchen, a swimming pool, and a private deck. There’s a chance that you will observe a lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, an elephant, or maybe even all five at the same time.

The folks who run Chewton Glen decided to build treehouses that were eco-friendly. They designed the treehouses to resemble floating lily pads (睡莲叶), with a natural, curved shape and a balcony with plenty of room to take in the sights of Chewton Bunny Valley. Each treehouse is furnished with a hot tub, plenty of seating, and a wood-burning fireplace.

The view from the balcony of this quiet treehouse in the Blue Mountains rainforest is simply breathtaking. The adults-only treehouse is located on 600 acres of private land between two national parks, offering guests complete privacy and stunning treetop views.

6 . Travelling plays an important part in making us feel relaxed and happy. It also brings good changes in our life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of things we have studied in the books. So a person who does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of Ganga River. However, if he has travelled to this place, he can truly relate everything he has studied and will always remember each and every detail of that place.

Nowadays, many people like travelling as they want to explore the world and watch everything they have read about. And this seems to be quite true as practical knowledge is more important and effective (有效的). People like to visit historical places present in different parts of the world and collect information on the same to write books and stories.

Travelling has become easier due to (由于) advancement in technology and transportation (交通). Earlier people used to travel by road or sea and it took many days to travel from one place to another. However, now the situation has changed and people travel to far off places within hours and minutes — thanks to well-built roads and airplanes.

People travel for different purposes, some travel for further education while others travel to relax and enjoy. Many people take a break from their busy schedule and go for a vacation, which makes them feel pleased and energetic (充满活力的).

Many writers and painters travel to different places to experience some of the best things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or books. People also travel for business purposes so as to make money from their business. Students travel for educational purposes. Everyone has a unique reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and it provides knowledge and offers all kinds of benefits (好处) to mankind.

Sinkholes and entrances to underground rivers kept popping up along our ______ . Thinking of them leading to an unknown world, I began to ______ the road that I can control even more.
