1 . You can pay a fortune to travel around the world. Or you can pay nothing at all. Here are some places you'll never regret visiting. They won't cost you a dime.

The British Museum, London(U.K.)

You need to go here to see the Egyptian mummies, the ancient Greek Marbles and so many other treasures. It's open every day, and unlike most other attractions in England that cost much money, it's completely free.

National Mall, Washington D.C.(U.S.A.)

You can walk a pathway from the Lincoln Memorial to the severe Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to the Washington Monument with other sights in between. Do you know you can go up in the elevator to the top of the Washington Monument? Tickets are free, but pay a small fee to reserve them in advance to avoid being disappointed.

Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris(France) .

This great treasure of the world simply can't be missed. The great stained-glass rose window alone is worth the visit. The Sunday Mass with the Gregorian chant was like stepping back in time. Admission is free every day, but you're welcome to leave a donation. There are also free tours a few times each week. You'll pay extra for tours of the bell tower or the crypt.

National Museum of Ireland , Dublin and Mayo (Ireland)

Want to see bog bodies, gold ornaments, Viking artifacts and learn about rural Irish life? All four branches of this museum are free to visit, including museums devoted to archaeology, natural history, decorative arts and history and country life. The museum of country life in Tur lough Park, Mayo, is devoted to Irish rural traditions, while the natural history museum is especially famous for its collection of insects.

This morning my friends and me got up early to visit the Great Wall. Once we got there we began our climb. It started out pretty smooth. By the time we made it to the top we were sweaty and exhausting. But when the Great Wall appeared in front of us, we couldn't help cry, “Oh, my god! What wonderful sight it is! It looked like a huge snake which spreads through half of the city!” We walked along the Wall for a while after heading back down and making our way back to home. We felt very proud so it's the longest wall and one of the most famous tourist attraction in the world.

7 . Life Begins on Board Your Next Cruise(邮轮)

On a cruise, it’s all about choices. And never about effort or annoyance. Simply step aboard and float away, as your grand accommodation takes you from port to port, country to country. Maybe you haven’t been on a cruise yet. Let’s see what it might look like.

Rise and shine

Everyone is a morning person on a cruise. Wake up to find yourself floating joyfully somewhere out on the horizon, between vast blue skies and rolling oceans. You’ve travelled far through the night, and each morning begins with a completely new and foreign destination calling from outside your window. What a way to start your day!

Breakfast of champions

Before the morning truly begins, spend some time relaxing on the top floor with a steaming cup of coffee and warm French pastries, taking in the unbelievable views and the fresh sea air. Or head to one of the many restaurants on the ground floor to find a rich meal fit for a king, then walk to the front of the ship and have some fresh fruit and American pancakes in the open-air market.

Ease into your day

Energize your morning with a yoga class, strengthening your body on the open-air board, palms stretched to the sea. Hit the gym for a refreshing workout or take a swim that will set you up for the day. If you are not so sporty, simply spend your morning sitting by the pool reading a book, perhaps losing yourself in the history, culture and legends of your next port of call.

9 . What it's like to live on Italy's Covid-free islands

There are very few places across the globe that have managed to escape the Covid-19 pandemic; even Antarctica has reported cases. But a lucky few remote locations in Italy remain coronavirus-free currently. So what it's like to live on Italy's most isolated (孤立的) and beautiful islands? Here several islanders share how the situation has impacted their lives.

Linosa

Positioned halfway between Sicily and Tunisia in the Mediterranean, this tiny atoll has no confirmed cases.

Fabio Tuccio, one of the 200 residents living here, says things have remained pretty much the same since the pandemic outbreak.

"A lockdown situation is regular here now," Tuccio says. "There's not much to do. Everything is shut except for a supermarket, a pharmacy, and a post office."

Although the island has been safe from Covid so far, all visitors are required to take a Covid test at the ferry port before they set foot here, for residents remain fearful that the virus may find its way to this safe shelter.

Filicudi

Filicudi island, one of the wildest and farthest out among the Aeolian islands, has also done well at keeping Covid at bay.

Ferries often find it difficult to dock here due to the rough sea conditions. While this was a frustration for locals in the past, the missing connection is now mostly viewed as a good thing. Islanders feel lucky to live in such seclusion, far from the chaos brought about by coronavirus. "It's an ugly moment for humanity but I am happy and privileged to live here, it's like being in another world. Social distancing is guaranteed." says Peppino Taranto, a resident of Filicudi.

Alicudi

Alicudi, Filicudi's sister isle, is the most secluded of the Aeolian isles. Here Covid is perceived as a very distant threat.

Aldo Di Nora, who moved to Alicudi years ago from northern Italy, is aware of how fortunate he is to live in such a secluded and protected place.

"Social distancing is not an issue. The only moment when little crowds can form is when people meet at Alicudi's harbor to jump on the ferry boats," Di Nora says.

"Following the tragic news happening in Italy and across the world, I am grateful to live in such a wonderful place, surrounded by peace and zero risk of contagion."

10 . While known for its Pacific Ocean beaches and fashionable coastal towns, the Golden State is also home to many new and clean lakes where visitors can soak up the sun and cool off.

Shasta Lake

Shasta Lake is the largest reservoir in California at 30. 000 acres wide. The Lake is in Northern California and is a three and a half-hour drive from Los Angeles. With 370 miles of shoreline,   it's no surprise that renting a houseboat is a popular activity. Depending on their location ,   visitors can enjoy the view of Mt. Shasta, which has snow on its peak year-round.

Big Bear Lake

Big Bear Lake is another great option for those wanting to take a day trip from Los Angeles. It takes only two hours to drive there from downtown Los Angeles. Animal lovers can stop by the Big Bear Alpine Zoo to get an up-close look at the lake's namesake (同名物). The lake also has many hiking and biking trails,   along with plenty of fishing spots.

Lake Havasu

Lake Havasu is divided along the border of California and Arizona and is an oasis (绿洲)in the desert. It's a five-hour drive from Los Angeles and a two and a half hour drive from Las Vegas. Visitors can fish or go boating on the lake that was formed from the Colorado River.

Mono Lake

Mono Lake is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains and spans more than 70 miles. It's a five-hour drive from either Los Angeles or San Francisco. Visitors into fishing should head to a different lake because this body of water does not have any fish. It's a salty lake, which means that it's filled with saltwater and is two to three times saltier than the ocean.
