3 . For people who are planning a trip, a visit to a museum might not be the first thing they think of. After all, there are plenty of ways to appreciate the world’s civilization, gain exciting experiences and spend quality time with family and friends.
Museums are where people learn something new, at every age! Are you interested in something specific?
Museums support tourism. They are tourism promoters in small towns and large cities. Museums aren’t a burden on tax revenue (税收) or a separate concern from other city projects.

G.The fact, however, is that museums offer magical benefits in many ways. |
4 . Isle of Skye
With its steep coastline and mountainous interior (内地), the island attracts walkers and climbers to the Cuillin and Trotternosh while those seeking adventures a little less extreme head here to spot the island’s abundant wildlife, with sea eagles, whales and dolphins among the species that call Skye home.
Saint John Island
Life moves slower here. Wildlife abounds (大量存在) and all is at peace. The National Park dominates here, covering more than half of the island. With countless bird species and dolphins and turtles to spot, it’s no surprise that this is a destination that draws nature lovers again and again. This is a place to rest and relax. Peace and quiet are abundant.
Grand Cayman
Breathtaking beaches attract visitors to Grand Cayman, but there’s far more to experience here. Hit the shops in George Town where all the best designer brands can be found before checking out the cultural and historic highlights. Need to kick back after all that sightseeing? You’ll be spoilt for choice. On the island’s west side is the most obvious destination for those seeking paradise. Great food, great weather and great tourist attractions for all.
Dalmatian Islands
Dalmatian Coast runs along the western edge of the country and is a unique destination made of picturesque islands and seaside towns. No matter which island you pick, you’ll come back with amazing memories. Our favourite island is Cres, known for its population of griffons (狮身鹫首的怪兽), where you can wander in forests, admire the cliffs standing along the sea and rest on quiet beaches.

5 . When you go on holiday, where do you like to stay? Do you like the luxury of a five-star hotel, the convenience of a self-catering apartment or do you prefer the freedom of sleeping under canvas? If you haven’t tried the latter, maybe you should join the increasing number of people who are enjoying the simple pleasures of camping.
By taking your tent, and some necessities, it’s easy to head off to the countryside and enjoy a night or two under the stars. Many campers are ditching the traps of their modern, busy life to do this, encouraged by experts who say a few peaceful nights in the middle of nowhere might be a good way to relax and improve our sleep patterns and well-being. It is also, of course, a good low-budget holiday option.
For the adventurers, wild camping is the escape from reality. Armed with just some food and a sleeping bag, you’re free from rules, away from other people, and able to enjoy theback-to-basics experience. One wild camper, Phoebe Smith, said, “The act of sleeping when everybody else has gone home-when you notice the wildlife and the stars-is one of the best things in life.”
But for those who still want some home comforts, a campsite is a more suitable place to put up your tent. Here you have facilities such as washrooms,a shop and maybe even a restaurant. In the UK, camping has always been popular. One survey found around 4.38 million people go camping in Britain every year.
More recently, sales of camping equipment have jumped as more people have chosen a staycation(宅度假)within the UK due to travel restrictions. One camping businessman, Halfords, reported a rise in demand for products such as stoves, cool boxes and camping chairs. With the addition of powerful torches and lamps to light up your tent and a better selection of easy-to-cook food, you can almost guarantee a comfortable and enjoyable camping expedition. The only thing you can’t guarantee, in the UK at least, is good weather! So maybe it’s time to slum it(将就点)and give camping a try.
