The Black Forest holiday region is located in southwestern Germany, with a total area of 11,100 square kilometers. Germany’s largest low mountain range represents different natural landscapes, such as the long forest mountains in the north, the wide meadow valleys in the central Black Forest, and the treeless peaks of the Southern Black Forest at an altitude of 1,493 meters. Uniqueness, originality and high experiential value characterize this holiday region. The Black Forest is mostly dense forest, stretching from the High Rhine in the south to the Kraichgau in the north. In the west, it borders the Upper Rhine Plain, and in the east, it merges with the Gäu, the Baar, and the mountainous areas west of the Klettgau. The Black Forest is the highest part of the cliff landscape in southwestern Germany, consisting of basement rock and red sandstone. The natural spatial division from the surrounding landscape is based on the absence of shell limestone in the Black Forest. Since soil fertility depends on the rock, this line is both a vegetation boundary and a border between old settlement areas and the Black Forest, which was not permanently settled until the late Middle Ages. The Black Forest extends about…

In 2012, I had the opportunity to spend an entire summer in Paris as an exchange student, but I missed it for various reasons. Since then, I had never been to Paris until this August. This regret led me to develop an unrealistic imagination about Paris, imagining what exactly I had missed. In my imagination, during that summer, I could have strolled along the Seine River with many young people of my age, wandering under the shade of poplars and green willows, the gentle waves of the Seine reflecting the brilliant sunlight of a Tuesday afternoon, the mild breeze filled with the bitter aroma of distilled coffee and the enchanting melody of French chansons. I could have visited Paris’s countless museums, art galleries, and former residences of famous figures whenever I had free time, and during short holidays, I could have traveled to other provinces or even to various European countries. As an exchange student, time was not a scarce commodity; no one needed to leave immediately or worry about post-graduation matters, and academic studies were not an urgent task, since it was just an exchange program. The law school in Paris would certainly not have tampered with my transcript…

Leaving Orlando, we traveled north along Highway 95 to Jacksonville to visit an old classmate. Under our classmate’s guidance, we were pleasantly surprised to learn about aspects of Jacksonville we had never heard of before. The city was first established in 1822 and named in honor of President Andrew Jackson. In its early years, the city’s development was slow due to wars, and it was destroyed by a great fire in 1901. After being rebuilt, the city developed rapidly and has now become a major seaport and industrial and commercial center on the southeastern coast of the United States, with a particularly developed insurance industry. It is the largest city in Florida. The St. Johns River flows through the city and empties into the Atlantic Ocean here. The Port of Jacksonville is Florida’s largest container port, and the beautiful St. Johns River is captivating. There are many luxury houses along the river, elegant and peaceful, pleasing to the eye. I think many people have heard of the Mayo Clinic in the United States.

Stepping on this land again, only because I passed through the North Island many years ago and was amazed by its beautiful scenery, far above Australia. However, I heard that New Zealand’s South Island is known as the last pure land on earth, possessing the most pristine original ecological landscape. Compared to the North Island, its natural scenery is even more spectacular! When the winter in the Northern Hemisphere meets the summer in the Southern Hemisphere, our god-like team gathered and set off. Christchurch, we are coming.. Self-driving route To fully experience New Zealand’s lakes and mountains, and enjoy the physical and mental pleasure that the natural scenery brings us, we decisively gave up the North Island, entering through Christchurch and exiting through Queenstown, not backtracking, and heading all the way south.

It’s been a long time since my Paris trip, and I’ve been truly “lazy” for not sharing anything sooner. After a complete change of heart, I present to you this Paris list from the “Fashion Planet”. It’s “trendy” (and “different”) because it doesn’t specifically list attractions and itineraries. Instead, it’s a sharing of food, shopping, experiences, hotels, and accommodations to help you become a “Chic Parisian”. Well, elegance has its formula, “Bonjour, Paris!” 1. Delicious Food: A delicious list revealed by a “food expert” Being able to eat so happily in Paris is all thanks to recommendations from Sugar&Spiced (a Parisian pastry chef and food blogger, searchable on Weibo). Coincidentally, I followed her on Weibo before my trip, and she had already been living in Paris for three years. The restaurants and food I selected based on her Weibo recommendations truly didn’t disappoint – they were satisfyingly “delicious.” Let me briefly recommend a few places I tried and was very impressed with. Ha, a foodie’s world map should probably be marked with food, right? PS: There are Paris restaurant introductions on her personal website (all of which she has visited), you can find a very comprehensive list. Claus Address: 14…

Today I want to recommend Paris. When I visited last time, I took a series of photos that I’ve really liked this year, a super beautiful panoramic view of Paris↓↓ Today’s post is a newly organized Paris guide, which includes some hidden gems I recently discovered, as well as many great places for shopping and dining~ Compared to classic attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, Montmartre is considered the youngest district in Paris. When I went to France in June, I made a quick trip to Montmartre and immediately fell in love with this niche, artistic treasure of a neighborhood. Here there is the tall and sacred Sacré-Cœur Basilica, the Place du Tertre where painters gather, the café where Amélie Poulain worked, and the Moulin Rouge with its nightly revelry. The collision of religion, art, and love makes Montmartre a unique microcosm of charming Paris. Sacré-Cœur Basilica Sacré-Cœur Basilica is one of the famous landmarks in Paris. It occupies the highest point of Montmartre hill, and standing in front of the church, most of Paris is clearly visible. The square in front of the church is a great place to enjoy the sunset. Every evening, many Parisians and…

Who would have thought there’s a theme park in the mountains of Tennessee, in quite a remote place, that can put Disney to shame? It’s been the best theme park in America for three years running. With its thunderous wooden roller coaster, the thrill you get when riding it is incredible. At night, with all 500,000 lights turned on, the fireworks show accompanied by music is like something out of Broadway. The giant cinnamon rolls are only five dollars, stuffed with filling, and bigger than your face when you pick them up. For those with a sweet tooth, it’s like being brought back to life on the spot. One bite and all your troubles disappear. At Disney’s Magic Kingdom, with its castles, fireworks, and fairy tale world, tens of thousands of people crowd into the park every day. Watching the fireworks in front of Cinderella Castle, with the stars twinkling, it’s no wonder dreams feel bigger. Seasoned visitors all know to go in the opposite direction at 3 PM. While others are watching the parade, they rush to the mine cart ride and can ride it three times in a row. Having dinner with Princess Belle creates such a fairy…

When it comes to ancient civilization sites, do you first think of Egypt’s pyramids or China’s terracotta warriors? Few people associate the United States with “ancient civilizations”—after all, most of its urban buildings are less than 200 years old. But once you step out of the bustling cities, you’ll discover that this land holds too many surprises: thousand-year-old fishing villages along Hawaii’s shores, massive stone architectural complexes in the New Mexico desert, “sky palaces” on Colorado’s cliffs, and even 21,000-year-old human footprint fossils! Each of these sites can rival world wonders, silently telling the forgotten ancient stories of the North American continent. Today, let’s explore America’s “hidden history” and discover these stunning ancient sites. Ancient Remains Some countries are world-renowned for their rich archaeological discoveries and ancient civilization relics. The United States is not usually on this list, but perhaps it should be. Although most urban architecture in the United States was built after the 19th century, as long as you deviate from the conventional routes, you can find murals, rock carvings, and well-preserved pre-Columbian settlement sites—every state in the United States hides ‘secret windows’ to the past. Next, let’s unveil the mystery of the most amazing archaeological sites in…

On that day in 79 AD, the ancient city of Pompeii faced a catastrophic disaster—the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, as scorching volcanic ash and lava instantly engulfed this Roman resort. But this disaster also unexpectedly preserved Pompeii: bread was still in the bakery’s ovens, graffiti on the walls remained clearly visible, and even the final postures of people in their last moments could be seen. Today, let’s step into Pompeii to see how this city ‘frozen’ by the volcano transformed from a tragic site into an archaeological treasure, and what secrets it holds about the lives of ancient Romans ️ Until the catastrophic event of 79 AD, Pompeii was no different from other Roman resort towns. It was located on the beautiful Bay of Naples, 14 miles (approximately 22.5 kilometers) south of the city of Naples, with luxurious villas, vineyards, and olive groves—all benefiting from the fertile volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius. But this active volcano soon erupted, burying the entire town under thick volcanic debris. Ironically, the disaster that led to Pompeii’s destruction also allowed it to be preserved for centuries. The excavation of this ‘permanently frozen’ town laid the foundation for modern archaeology. A quirk of geography Pompeii…
