1) Hunan. This beautiful province has a lot to offer. Besides the beautiful landscape and admiring architecture, it hides unearthly secret that only brave souls dare to do. If you watch the video below and don't get dizzy, I'll send you a virtual high five. 2) Heaven's Gate, Tianmen Mountains. To see this naturally carved cave, you can either take a cable car or courageously walk 11 kilometers. After you climb what seems to be a never ending count of stairs, you will be welcomed be a temple that was built by the Tang dynasty. And if you want to see something very unusual, click on the video below. Jess Corliss decided for a bold move when he glided in 2011 through the gate in his wing suit. Adventurous enough? 3) The Stone Forest: This limestone formation takes my breath away. Located in the Yunnan province, this marvelous labyrinth creates an illusion of a forest and gives you the chance to wander through 3 different formation sizes. You can stop and see the Ashima Stone, which legends says was named after the beautiful Sani girl, Ashima, who ran to the forest and was turned into the stone after being forbidden to marry the man she was in love with. Photos found here and here.

A family guide with the best attractions, hotels and things to do in Wicklow with kids. Discover why you must visit County Wicklow, Ireland
I’d love to return to this place, but I’m afraid the weather would not be as clear and perfect. Many locals told me there is a 90% chance that these mighty peaks would be covered with clouds, so I felt very lucky to have everything so perfect. Surely, a return here would not be nearly as good… but maybe… just maybe… a return would have clouds, but in an awesome dramatic way.You probably also know I’m not a fan of plain blue skies. But way up in the mountains, sometimes the sky on the opposite side of the sun is a deep atmospheric blue. I see it from planes a lot when dawn breaks. Maybe you have seen that color of blue too… and here it is again. Patagonia, Argentina

I may have seen far more rain than sun during my stay in Ireland, but no matter - this island nation shines even through the dark skies and drizzle. I'm sharing the highlights of my visit and, while some might say they're mostly predictable, the Emerald Isle surprised me too. The People of Ireland The Irish tradition of warmth and conviviality is no myth. In defiance against the notion that city dwellers are fated to an impersonal existence, the “Land of a Thousand Welcomes” spirit is omnipresent. It was in the driver on a Dublin bus who scribbled a map for
Green Street, Cambridge, England. A lovely cobblestone street right out of a Harry Potter novel.
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll know how much I love a good lighthouse. Most of our UK trips (and ones abroad if we’re near the sea) involve trips to lighthouses. I’ve kind of got a little goal that I’d love to eventually visit all of the lighthouses in the UK. Anyway, Shane and I took a really quick trip away in the van a couple weeks ago and headed up to Yorkshire.

A 65-meter high minaret stands in Afghanistan, built around 1190 CE. It is covered with religious carvings and calligraphy in more than one language. But this ancient and remote edifice is surrounded by the Hindu Kush mountains in a country at war, so these pictures will be the closest you get to it -for now. Amazingly, this imposing structure was standing forgotten for centuries... until rediscovered in 1886 by Sir Thomas Holdich; then forgotten again and rediscovered in 1957. Then the Soviet invasion i...
