DAY 3

Today the train makes its way into Moray, with an unmatched coastline. Head to Ballindalloch, a grand castle.

You’ll sleep well, possibly thanks to an on-board whisky tasting that hits just the right spot.

DAY 4

The train moves deep into the heart of the dramatic Cairngorms today. You can take fly-fishing or clay-pigeon shooting lessons at the Rothiemurchus Estate before heading off to one of Scotland’s crown jewels. Then it’s back on-board for one final delicious dinner and a teary goodbye.

Speaking of handicrafts,       6     Alpine women take pride in is their embroidery (刺绣技法).

8 . A train operator from Britain has made travelling more tranquil(安宁的). Heathrow Express passengers travelling on October 13 were treated to sessions with yoga influencer Celest Pereira, who has developed a 12-minute seat-yoga and meditation(冥想) sessions to help travelers relax. Travelers of all ages and abilities can perform the exercises safely from their seats-and it’s believed to be the first time a yoga class has taken place on a moving train.

To get passengers in the right frame of mind, the “Tranquil Train” carriage hosting the sessions was decorated with fresh eucalyptus(桉树). “This was a real pick me up, especially after a long overnight flight. The smell is so wonderful,” said Elizabeth, from Washington DC. The initiative was tested after a study also conducted by Heathrow Express, which identified the most worrying aspects of travel during the epidemic- including delayed departures (52%) and crowds (48%). Missing flights, trains, or buses (47%) also leads to anxiety and worrying you’ve forgotten something like your passport or the tickets (40%). Other worries include getting lost (38%), being separated from your luggage (33%), and missing travel announcements (29%).

Celest Pereira said: “Travelling can be a very intense experience-there’s lots going on, lots of things to think about, and it’s very deadline driven. By hosting these classes we are hoping to ease those pressures and help passengers be in the present moment.” Commenting on his experience, Joe Bence, a 26-year-old from London who was among those who boarded the Heathrow Express “Tranquil Train”, said: “I have such a busy life and usually look at my phone on the train-but today I completely switched off. The class was a nice distraction from life, it made my day.”

9 . Hiking, a kind of interaction with nature, provides fantastic exercise, combining sightseeing and workouts into one. Here are some unforgettable hiking vacations that will lead you into the thick of your destination.

Larapinta Trail, Australia

Dying for a good hike through the outback(内陆)? Then head to Australia’ s Larapinta Trail, a 130-mile trip through the Northern Territory of the island continent. Almost the entire hike is desert. Perhaps the best way to end a long day in the hot Australian sun is to watch the pink-and-orange sunset, open a sleeping bag and look up. Repeat visitors to the Larapinta say this part of Australia offers some of the best stargazing in the world.

Inca Trail, Peru

Today, as part of an effort to minimize environmental impact, trail(线路) access is limited to 500 people per day, and most hikers participate as part of guided groups. And the most thoughtful thing is that the groups hire porters to carry the luggage, so hikers need only to worry about enjoying the scenery! Most of these organized trails include tent accommodations and surprisingly delicious three-course meals. Of course, they also include a final day at Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas”.

Cape Scott Trail, British Columbia

To call the five-day hike challenging would be the understatement of the century. The adventure begins gradually. From the trailhead at Cape Scott Provincial Park, the trail follows an old settler's road along a stream through a 4-mile stretch of wetland. With every step, the mud threatens to add to what surely has become a sizable boot collection. Because the rivers are so wide, visitors have to take the cable-car.

Via Ferrata, Italy

The trails themselves date to World War I, when Italian forces built them as a way to move soldiers from one section of the Alps to another. Today, with the war in the distant past, the routes provide the perfect venue for hikers looking for a day-long escape.
