3 . Istanbul has been around for centuries. Sure, it’s changed its name a few times over the years, but the location has always been the same. And in those years, there was no need at all for wide lanes. The term “rush hour” wasn’t even invented yet. The only traffic was an occasional horse-drawn carriage. The result is that the city center consists of very narrow streets.
All the action (nightlife, tourist attractions, etc.) is located in the city center, making people travel daily between their homes in the suburbs and their offices in downtown Istanbul. Besides, Istanbul is not only surrounded (环绕) by water, it’s also twice divided by it. The only way to get from one shore to the other is through bridges. And it is true of all bridges. They’ll get stuck easily.
On a normal dry day, morning rush hour starts as early as 7 a.m. and lasts until around 10 a.m.. After a short cool off period, traffic again starts peaking (达到高峰) from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m..
As soon as traffic jams start building up, drivers try to find alternative roads. And once found, they race through them trying to catch up on time already lost. But it doesn’t work. So they immediately turned to plan B. Make the most use of the road at hand. Lanes painted on the surface must be for decorative purposes, since you would be surprised how easily they can change a three-lane road into a five-lane one. On highways, the emergency lanes are taken, too. And of course, horns are blown as much as possible.
Of course the city’s government is making great efforts now to deal with these problems. Extra tunnels, subways, tramways and bus only lanes have been made available or are under construction. Also Electronic Detection Systems are used to detect and fine drivers who abuse the emergency lanes or drive through red traffic lights.
And although Turkish drivers are certainly not among the worst in the world, paying little attention to basic traffic rule, scrowding into the smallest space available, turning across the roads and blocking emergency lanes make traffic jams unable to be dealt with timely. They’re also part of the problem.

7 . Beaches are great places for fun and relaxation of the travel world. These slivers of sand against the ocean make you realize that “real life” occasionally needs escaping. If you are beach lovers, the following ones are worth your visit.
Playa Paraiso
One of the wonderful beaches in the world is Playa Paraiso in Cuba’s finest beach island Cayo Largo. The weather is usually calm and the sea here remains shallow most of the year. Most people go to Playa Paraiso to enjoy calm water to swim or simply relax on the beach.
Nungwi
Nungwi is considered to be the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. The island has long been loved by adventurous travelers for its mysterious old Stone Town and about 30 untouched beaches. The blue waters and coral (珊瑚) around Nungwi are home to many marine creatures.
Maya Bay
Maya Bay is a white sand beach hugged by steep cliffs. Coral reefs make it an excellent spot for snorkeling (浮潜). This strikingly beautiful beach has got more attention after featuring in the Leonardo DiCaprio film The Beach, but it’s still worth visiting for the dramatic setting and snorkeling opportunities.
Sun Island
Recognized as the world’s best beach, Sun Island is located on a beach lover’s paradise, Maldives. This diamond in the middle of the Indian Ocean has become a favorite with ocean lovers drawn by the thought of sleeping over the water. Nearby coral reefs attract thousands of tropical fish, snorkelers and divers. But you don’t even need to snorkel to enjoy the scenery — parts of the reef are visible from the beach, so clear is the water.

9 . Museums become the next stop many students want to visit at their leisure.
Have you ever started your visit by waiting in line in front of the museum for a few hours just to get in? And that’s the sad reality when visiting many of those world-famous museums. Thus, be smart to browse the instructions for visiting and book in advance online.
What if you don’t like some museums? Then don’t visit them! I’m not a massive fan of parks, so I would hardly ever end up in any park while travelling.

10 . Bhutan is one of the world’s most mysterious(神秘的)countries. Visiting it can be challenging, but there’s a new drive to finally cross it off the bucket list in 2022, as its breathtaking Trans Bhutan Trail(小径)will be reopening to travelers for the first time in 60 years.
According to the Bhutan Canada Foundation -the main donor to the restoration project — the 250-mile route connects nine districts, 28 local governments, one national park and 400 historic and cultural sites. Travelers who follow the entire trail route will cross 18 major bridges and climb 10,000 stairs. It will be possible to walk or mountain bike there.
“This is a community-based project in both its building and operation which will restore an ancient cultural treasure and provide a sustainable, net zero carbon experience in the country for travelers,” says Sam Blyth, chair of the Bhutan Canada Foundation. “The Trans Bhutan Trail also reflects the country’s philosophy of Gross National Happiness and will allow the children of Bhutan to walk in the footsteps of their ancestors.”
The trail’s westernmost point is the town of Haa, which is near the border with Tibet, China. The eastern most point is Trashigang, near the border of India’s Arunachal Pradesh state. According to a representative for the Bhutan Canada Foundation, an ambitious walker could cover the whole trail in about a month, but most tourists will likely enjoy shorter parts of the trail on three-, four-, or seven-day trips.
Due to its “high value, low impact” tourism strategy, Bhutan averaged just a few thousand visitors in atypical year before COVID-19 occurred. As part of its aim to avoid over tourism, the country charges a mandatory(强制的)$250 per day fee, which includes land transport, accommodations, food and guide service. The cost makes it somewhat prohibitive for many people to visit. And walkers to the Trans Bhutan Trail will have to apply for a permit. They can do this beginning in April.
