7 . The Four Most Exotic Black Sand Beaches in the World

Not- to-be- missed sights include the spectacular waterfalls: Topatari, Puraha and Vaiharuru falls.

A highlight of this beach destination is visiting Kalibukbuk, one of the coastal villages along Lovina Beach, and the Kalibukbuk Buddhist temple on the beach.

8 . Zibo, located in East China’s Shandong Province, was not widely known as a tourist destination. However, over the past few months the industrial city’s BBQ has gained enormous popularity and attracted a massive flood of visitors who have turned it into an Instagram-worthy site.
This local delicious food has been delighting residents and tourists alike for generations. Zibo BBQ, famous for its unique flavors and techniques, is a must-try experience for food enthusiasts from around the world.
The grilling (烧烤) process is where the true magic of Zibo BBQ lies. Skilled grill masters use a combination of traditional and modern techniques to ensure that the food is cooked to perfection. The key is in the slow and steady cooking process, which allows the meat to become tender and juicy while absorbing the rich flavors of the marinades (腌料) and spices.
Zibo BBQ wouldn’t be complete without a wide range of delicious side dishes to accompany the star of the show. From crisp, fresh vegetables to steamed bread and seasoned rice, there’s something to suit every kind of taste. And don’t forget to try the local specialty: Zibo cold noodles, a refreshing and flavorful treat that pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of BBQ. Of course, no BBQ experience would be complete without a cold drink to wash it all down. In Zibo, local beer is a popular choice, providing the perfect balance of crisp refreshment and hearty BBQ flavors.
“I never expected Zibo barbecue to become so popular all of a sudden!” said Zhang Linlin, deputy director of the business management department at Shandong College of Tourism and Hospitality. “With the recent intensive publicity, many of my young colleagues have rushed to try it out. They all praised its great taste and reasonable price.”
