4 . Enjoy Fresh Air
Namba Parks, Osaka, Japan
Architects creating Namba Parks shopping mall in Osaka showed that you needn’t sacrifice (牺牲) green spaces for commercial (商业的) development.
The shopping center, built in 2003, provides eight floors of commercial space for cinemas, stores, events and restaurants.
The garden at its top begins at street level. Visitors are treated to green spaces and there is no money necessary to enjoy the simple pleasures.
Promenade Plantee, Paris, France
The space was developed on a disused railway line and runs from the Opera Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes in the city.
Around 1.5 km of the park is higher than the street, with other parts at street level, even passing through disused railway tunnels (隧道).
The project began in 1988 and finished in 1994 and the space is now home to many trees and plants, including bamboo and cherry trees.
Jurong Lake Gardens, Singapore, Singapore
Jurong Lake Gardens is a 90-hectare green space in the heart of Singapore. Although some areas are still under development, the first part opened in 2019.
The gardens were developed with nature and community in mind — with a large 2.3-hectare play area for children. The park has also developed a learning program to help educate students about biodiversity (生物多样性).
The High Line, New York, USA
You’ve probably heard of Central Park in New York. But did you know this is only the fifth largest park in New York, a city that has 180 state parks in total?
Wanting to increase its biodiversity further, city planners also created a city park known as the High Line between 2009 and 2019. This 2-kilometer public park was built on a disused railway line and is now home to over 150,000 plants and trees.

6 . Looking for a true out-of-this-world vacation? Then you are in luck! Texas-based start-up Orion Span announced they were taking reservations for Aurora (极光) Station, the world’s first luxury hotel in space.
The pill-shaped space station will measure 43.5 feet long and 14.1 feet wide—about the size of a large private jet’s cabin—when completed. It will accommodate four guests in two private suites and two crew members, most likely former astronauts. Hovering about 200 miles above the Earth, Aurora Station will circle the planet once every 90 minutes, enabling guests to enjoy 16 spectacular sunrises and sunsets daily, as well as scores of the breathtaking northern and southern auroras that the hotel is named after.
While admiring the beauty of our planet, tourists can have non-astronaut food and drinks or entertain themselves with playing cards. Those hoping to do something more worthwhile will be able to engage in astronaut-like experiments such as growing food in a special environment. The Wi-Fi-enabled spacecraft will make it easy for guests to share their experiences with friends and family members on Earth. At the end of the week and half-long vacation, returning guests will be treated to a special “hero’s welcome”, similar to the one experienced by astronauts returning from a real mission.
Before the once-in-a-lifetime trip, guests will have to undergo a three-month special training learning how to move in a weightless environment, along with the basics of space flight and orbital mechanics. Also, before you start packing your bags, you will have to pay $9.5 million for the 12-day round-trip vacation.
While several companies are planning to build hotels in space, Orion Span hopes to transform sections of used rockets floating in space into hotel rooms, instead of crowding the already messy skies with additional man-made objects.

7 . An adventurous Indian Ocean break can easily capture the imaginations of the whole family. Here are the best option, with trips to suit pre-schoolers to teens.
Mauritius
A ride through the waters of northwest Mauritius in Blue Safari’s 10-seater submarine gives children (aged nine months and up) the rare chance to explore beneath the surface to a depth of 35 meters. Everyone gets a window to the underwater world.
The Maldives
The Maldives is a good place to inspire young minds to dig deeper into the ocean. At Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru, in the Baa Atoll north of Male, your teens can learn what is happening and why, and also help a scientist to create new reefs; back home, they can watch their reef flourish online.
Kerala
The rivers of the southern coastal state of Kerala are an ideal introduction to India for young imaginations. Setting sail on a houseboat, kids will find the village life along the waterways fascinating, and they can play a part in it on trips to local markets to pick up souvenirs (guided by houseboat staff).
Réunion
Covered in green, with plunging waterfalls and black-sand beaches, small Reunion is not a typical Indian Ocean island. Hike up to the Piton de la Fournaise, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, with over 600 miles of trails to occupy excited teenagers, or ‘aqua hike’ the Langevin River, which involves a mix of canyoning and whitewater swimming.
1. What do trips to Mauritius and the Maldives have in common?A.They are home to reefs. | B.They have online practice. |

9 . If you’re traveling to South America in summer, you should have Patagonia (at the southern end of South America) high up on your list of things to do. With this list, I show you the best places to visit in Patagonia. The climate down there is pretty rough, especially in the very south—if you plan to do hiking or camping, the ideal moment for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.
1. Bariloche, Argentina
The fact that Bariloche is well connected (airport, direct bus to and from Buenos Aires) makes it the perfect starting point of a round trip through Patagonia. But more than that: the combination of mountains, lakes and green forests results in its beautiful scenery.
2. Futaleufú, Chile
Further down south and a bit harder to access is the small Chilean village Futaleufú which is located at the border to Argentina. The reason which makes it worth it: the Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world. The landscape along the river is unique and, due to its location, still pretty much untouched.
3. Puerto Rio Tranquilo, Chile
If you want to get there quickly, you should travel through Argentina and cross over to Chile Chico as this place is also very remote. The reason to do so: the marble caves in the General Carrera lake.
4. Torres del Paine, Chile
Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my top pick in Patagonia you should take some time and do a multi-day trek to experience as much of it as possible: glaciers, forests, impressive mountain ranges, lagoons and rivers.
1. What is the best time for hiking in Patagonia?A.October 1—November 1. | B.December 25—February15. |
C.March 5—April 1. | D.November 5—June 7. |
A.Its unique location. | B.Its easy accessibility. |
C.Its untouched landscapes. | D.Its rafting sports. |
A.Bariloche. | B.Futaleufú |
C.Puerto Rio Tranquilo. | D.Torres del Paine. |
A.Taking a holiday. |
B.Attending university. |
