This rock is called "Queen's Head" for obvious reasons and is an iconic symbol of Taiwan. There are several interesting rock formations here so be sure to check them all out.
Fujian Tulou is a property of 46 buildings constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries over 120 km in south-west of Fujian province, inland from the Taiwan Strait. One of 41 World Heritage Sites in China!
If you see a lizard doing what looks like a push-up here, leave him alone. It's actually a mating ritual. Apparently the whole park is like a big lizard singles bar.
I always think of Yellowstone as being to parks what Yankee Stadium is to baseball. Just completely incomparable. It's said that this area has actually been inhabited for over 11,000 years. There's actually a museum with an archeology lab right in the park.
In a city full of wondrous places, this is among its best attractions. While it's lovely just about any time of year it's incredibly special in the fall.
If your impression of Brooklyn comes from Welcome Back Kotter you're in for a terrific surprise! This is Prospect Park which was designed by the same team that designed Central Park and it shows. It's an absolutely glorious park that looks more like it belongs in Paris than in Brooklyn. I highly If your impression of Brooklyn comes from Welcome Back Kotter you're in for a terrific surprise!

This is one of the most beautiful parts of London by far and where the whole city gathers to watch big events together on giant screens. A trip to London truly isn't complete without seeing it.
This is a great place for hikers no matter what the season. It's also a great place for animal spotting--in fact, there's a very good chance you might come across a reindeer!
There are these amazing rock formations called "hoodoos" here that look like someone took wet sand and let it drip into a skinny tower shape. One of the most amazing things I think I've ever seen.
Apparently you can ice dive here, and while that doesn't appeal to me, personally, I can see how it would be interesting. They also have waterfall ice climbing which actually does kind of sound like fun.
It's obviously gorgeous here but whatever you do, don't swim in the waterhole here known as the "Garden of Eden" as it's swarming with E. Coli. Sorry--I know that's a total buzzkill.
Interestingly, you can either camp here or stay in one of the park lodges, both of which are gorgeous. They look more like they belong in quaint little Swiss villages, not rugged Montana, though.
Absolutely stunning park that most tourists never see. I wouldn't go here at night as it's a little out of the way, but it's well worth seeing. It was created in 1867 out of an old quarry. Very, very hilly in comparison to the city's other parks.
