9 . Staff at the Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden in south China’s Hainan Province were very busy during this summer holiday, as they were preoccupied with teaching children how to turn cocoa nuts into delicious chocolate. Through this hands-on approach, children gained an understanding of the cocoa plant itself and discovered the art of crafting their very own chocolate. Throughout the summer holiday period, the cocoa botanical garden was abuzz with activities, attracting an average of 3,000 visitors daily.

10 . The best UK hidden beaches for the perfect holiday

If you’re considering where to go at Easter or other holidays and searching for some family holiday ideas, why not make the most of your time off by planning a trip to one of Britain’s best beaches? Escape the bank holiday crowds, take a trip to one of these more secluded (僻静的) spots and make some wonderful memories on your own private piece of coastline.

Charming coves at Nanjizal Beach

Cornwall is known for having some of the best beaches in the UK. However, across peak times such as the Easter holidays, they can become overrun with holidaymakers.

Rhu Point features white sands and crystal blue waters. It might make you think that you’re in the Caribbean, rather than the west coast of Scotland, a wonderfully remote beach. It is simply attractive at low tide, and offers beautiful views once you arrive at the sandy shore. The walk to get there is also just as pretty; if the day is clear, there are some wonderful views over to the Isle of Skye.
