Sweden
Sweden is a large country, with hundreds of well-appointed camping sites suitable for vehicles and RVs. And as you’d imagine in such a big country, there are a wide range of experiences.

Head here between June and mid-July and you’ll be able to take in the midnight sunshine. If seafood is a passion, you’ll love the coastal fishing villages on the west coast of Sweden.
Germany
Germany is a country of contrasts, which is one of the reasons it’s such a compelling destination for a campervan holiday.

All these wonderful locations are all linked by one of the world’s best road systems, and there are thousands of camper stops.

Scotland
Scotland has something for everyone: cities with vibrant nightlife, incredible scenery, stunning lochs and medieval castles. If you want to get away from it all, then the Highlands are one of the least populated areas in the whole of Europe. Hikers will love the Cairngorms-the largest national park in the UK. If you’re in Scotland in August, then be sure to check out the Edinburgh International Festival, a feast of theatre, dance, music and comedy.
Spain
Spain’s renowned for its beach holidays, but it offers so much more than that. Blessed with a lovely climate, rich history, stunning architecture, delicious cuisine and friendly locals, Spain has long been a favoured destination for campervan aficionados (爱好者).

7 . Air travel can be a real headache. But if you happen to have a stop at Changi Airport in Singapore, you’re in for a wonderful treat.
The main attraction is the Jewel, a donut-shaped glass building featuring the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, known as the HSBC Rain Vortex. The 130-foot-tall waterfall uses rainwater that drops seven stories down from the roof. When the water hits the floor, it travels through a large funnel (漏斗), creating an inverted (倒转的) waterfall for two levels in the airport located below the ground level.
The effect is maximized at night when the waterfall is the centerpiece of a 360-degree light and audio exhibit. The Rain Vortex was designed by Los Angeles -based design firm WET. Design director Peter Kopik explained, “It’s like the roof is pouring in and the building is getting completed in liquid form.”
If the Rain Vortex isn’t enough to attract you to have a stop at Changi Airport, perhaps the Shiseido Forest Valley will. It is spread out across five levels and reaches 100 foot high, with multiple trails for guests to explore. It’s filled with more than 900 trees and about 60,000 shrubs. Special species from China, the United States, and Australia were chosen because they’re most likely to survive the structure’s temperature, humidity (湿度), and sun exposure.
At the top of the forest is Canopy Park, where people can get different views of the Rain Vortex. There are additional gardens, activities, and restaurants to explore.
The Jewel is located near Terminal 1 in an area that used to be a parking lot. The attraction covers 1.46 million square feet. It was constructed specifically to attract more tourists to the airport and make it one of the most desirable places to kill time between flights. After all, wouldn’t you rather explore an indoor forest and waterfall for a few hours instead of sitting in a crowded airport lounge with just your smart phone for entertainment?

During the weekend, parents and I paid a visit to Datong City by train. We arrive there at about 9 am. First we went to an ancient temple, in that we saw some impressive Budda statues. It is small but beautiful. So we stayed here for nearly two hours. Then we left for the temple to go downtown. You can’t imagine what crowded the street was! My parents bought some souvenirs in the local market. Meanwhile, I collected some postcard and funny toys. As we know, Datong is famous as its noodles, so we couldn't wait to taste some in a restaurant decorating traditionally. At 5 pm, we came back home happy.
