If asked to name the “must-see” attractions in the world, people usually name several landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower or the Egyptian pyramids. These popular travel destinations offer beautiful scenery and new cultural experiences.
For the more adventurous traveller, there are a lot of other unexpected and unusual travel destinations that offer the true excitement and a unique travel experience.
Sun City, South Africa

Sun City boasts the world’s longest zipline (переправа по канату) adventure. At 6,500 feet (1981 meters) long, this zipline allows you to fly Superman-style at 93 miles per hour over gorgeous grasslands. This is a must-see for anyone who likes speed, heights, and the inevitable adrenaline rush!
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam The second unforgettable and unique travel destination is Ha Long Bay, located in the Quang Ninh province of northern Vietnam. Visitors to Ha Long Bay can spend one or more nights aboard a small cruise ship known as a Junk.

Addis Ababa is an incredible city, one of Africa’s largest urban centres. Adama is another place people love to visit while they’re in the country; you may know it more as Nazareth. The volcanic water pool in Sodere (near Nazareth) is a must-do experience when you’re here.
Bali Indonesia Indonesia is a vast archipelago with tens of thousands of islands in it.

Blue Lake Cave, Brazil
TFor a quieter experience, the Mato Grosso do Sul region of Brazil boasts the peaceful Blue Lake Cave.
