4 . There are many natural waterfall wonders located across the USA. Here are a few that are definitely worth a visit:
Arethusa Falls | New Hampshire
Located in Crawford Notch State Park in northern New Hampshire, Arethusa Falls takes its name from Greek mythology (神话).Arethusa was a nymph (小仙女) whose name means “the waterer.” That’s pretty appropriate since they fall 140 feet down a cliff (悬崖).
Feather Falls | California
Located near the city of Oroville in the Plumas National Forest, Feather Falls can be seen from the middle arm of Lake Oroville, but the best views can be found on the Feather Falls Scenic Trail. March, May and June are considered to be the best times to hike to the falls since the wildflowers are in bloom, temperatures are cooler and the falls’ water flow is at the highest.
Multnomah Falls | Oregon
Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon. Located 30 minutes from Portland on the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls delivers the awe-inspiring sight of a 620-foot waterfall. According to Native American lore (传说), Multnomah Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a hidden place to bathe. For a closer view, take the path up to Benson Bridge. The bridge is named after Simon Benson, a Portland businessman who owned the site in the early 1900s before donating the falls to the City of Portland, which later transferred ownership to the Forest Service.
Cumberland Falls | Kentucky
Known as the “Niagara of the South,” these dramatic falls feature a 125-foot wide curtain of water. The falls are located in Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in southern Kentucky and are home to a natural phenomenon not found anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere: a colorful moonbow can be seen on the nights of a full moon as well as on several nights before and after.

Prague is cracking! My sister was right. It really is one of Europe’s most popular tourist attractions, which has beautiful old buildings. So far, my favorite place is Prague Castle. I think it’s the largest ancient castle in the world. Prague also has a lot of cultural events, like the World Dance Festival. I went to a ballet(芭蕾舞剧)just last night. Lilly | |
I’ve come to Shanghai at the right time. Summer has begun, but it is not too hot yet. Yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival. It was exciting! If you come to Shanghai, you should see the Bund — a street with very nice shops, nightclubs, and hotels. There are many tourists there. It has some wonderful buildings from the 1930s. I went on a night cruise(乘船游览)of the Huangpu River last night. I met some great people on the boat, mostly foreigners, like me. Stan | |
Buenos Aires is a fun city, but six days is not enough time for a visit! I’m staying near the mile-long shopping street called Calle Florida. It’s a great place to meet people and watch dancers perform the tango. Buenos Aires is the birthplace of the tango. I also spent a day in the suburb of Tigre. It’s about30 km from the capital, but you can get there quickly by train. We set off on the canals(运河)of the Paraná Delta. Melinda |
