Paris Catacombs

After finished watching the "Oculus", the newest horror movie with my friend last night, my mind has come with a haunted place to recommend for you guys!

Have you heard about Paris Catacombs a Haunted Location in France?

Whenever you think about Paris, the words of "the city of love and romance" will firstly appear in your mind, am I right? And I am sure that it would be difficult for you to imagine it becomes one of the creepiest homes to the remains of 6 million people right under the city!  

Lets me tell you more about it......



The Paris Catacombs is a place famous for ghost hunting, paranormal activity and a major tourist attraction since 1874. The official name of this massive final resting place is actually called l’Ossuaire Municipal. Some people will spend several days below the surface and are called cataphiles (people who love the Paris underground). In September of 2009 it was closed for a brief period and is now open once again. An estimated one million guests a year steer through the dark corridors and stare at the bones and empty eye-sockets of the long dead ghost hunting and contemplating mortality. Many claim to hear things…voices. Spirits (or at least unexplained paranormal activity) is routinely captured on film. Visitors often report picking up extremely sad feelings…and some feel a tug on their clothing or a push…are these from a supernatural wandering soul? HWL thinks so!! The visions of the skull-lined tunnels alone can shake the resolve of even the stoutest of ghost hunters.

Whether the call of romance and love beckons your heart, the magnificent art collection of the Louvre or a pull toward the spiritual and unexplained just won’t leave you alone…if you have ANY plans to visit Paris and you are remotely intrigued by the paranormal and ghost hunting, you must visit to this haunted vacation destination! This is definitely one of the most intriguing haunted places to visit in the world. Tours of the Catacombs run every day so don’t miss your chance to witness first hand the scariest place in all of France.

A trip to Paris Catacombs will make you see stacks of bones and skulls piled up several feet high on all sides and a walk a little over a mile will cover the best parts......







REMEMBER Photographs are allowed inside of the museum…but please respect the dead and leave the bones as they are! 

The video clip below will give you a little taste! xD

If you have NOT been to Pamukkale before, you MUST go and see this magnificient natural wonder - "Pure White Mountain". It is not ice, not salt. Turks call it “cottoncastle”. It is a mountain of mineral baths formed over thousands of years  formed by rich thermal springs.

Pamukkale, “Cottoncastle” tour. A lot to experience!!!

A perfect work of mother-nature and unique in the world. Turks call it cottoncastle for a good reason. It is a pure white mountain looks like a huge cotton pile when you look at it from a distance. Huge stalactites, cascades and mineral baths, cataracts and basins form the characteristics of this mountain. Thermal hot springs which you will enjoy swimming in forms all these beauty. Since Roman times those hot springs are used for their therapeutic powers.

This place comes with a lot of ancient ruins as well, called “Hierapolis”. Some of the ruins still lay in the pool where you can swim in. Absolutely a dream for cleopatra. Hierapolis basically was a cure center because of this therapeutic hot springs.

Pamukkale is one of the most extraordinary natural wonders in Turkey and perhaps one of the most attractive spot for tourists. Thousands of tourists visit this spot everyday during the summer. So, lets prepare your next trip to Pamukkale started from this second hehe!^^

The Swing at the End of the World

Hello, everybody ~ do you guys still remember me? Sorry for long time didn't share an amazing holiday destination for you guys, because I am busy on other assignments. Seriously, I feel so stress recently!>< 

So, I am looking for a place to release my stress! haha...

There will be The Swing at the End of the World...

Would you still remember your childhood when playing swing is the most attraction in playground? Even you already grown up now, you can not deny that you still love swinging?

The swing in La Casa Del Arbol (The Treehouse) in Baños, Ecuador will give you different experience of  swinging! You can feel how the view Swinging in the end of the world!! 

The swing’s unique location 2,600 meters above sea level offers visitors a beautiful and terrifying view of the Tungurahua Volcano. Although it might look like it hangs over a cliff, the swing actually just hangs over a steep slope. this swing maybe looks very dangerous, because when you slip from the swing it causes serious damage of falling from 2600 meters above, so this playful game only for adventurous and absolutely not for kids!!

But that doesn't stop adventurous swingers from giving the swing at the end of the world a go. And it’s probably worth it, because the rush of adrenaline, the feeling of freedom, and the amazing surrounding views must be one-of-a-kind. 

The fun did not stop in the swing, If you don’t dare enough to swing, there are a tree-house-La Casa Del Arbol that holding exactly on the top of tree, worth to climb there and you will see marvelous view of valley around them...

Would you dare to join me and try it? xD

Waitomo Glowworm Caves

Hi, good afternoon everybody!

Would you be ready to travel with me to a cave full of glow worms?

Just follow me^^

I will bring you reach to an unusual place - Waitomo Glowworm Caves

Lets imagine you're floating on a small wooden boat through a damp cave. It's completely dark inside, save for dots of light from the bodies of a thousand teensy blue insects. Their electric-looking selves create a Milky Way of color above your head!



No, you're not dreaming! You're in Waitomo, New Zealand!






The Waitomo Glowworm Grotto is home to Arachnocampa luminosa, a species of glowworm that lives only in New Zealand. An old Maori tribesman named Tane Tinorau discovered the cave in the 1800s, and he began offering tours to visitors in 1889.

On today's tours of Waitomo, you'll float through 250 meters of majestic caverns: the Catacombs (an entrance to the cave network), the Banquet Chamber (where olden-day visitors gathered for meals), and the Cathedral (where famous choirs have performed, due to its killer acoustics). You'll finish with a glimmering finale in the Glowworm Grotto, which feels like another universe entirely......What are yours feeling now?

Zhangye Danxia

Zhangye Danxia

Your eyes are not deceiving you! This layer cake of amazing colors is a real landscape located at Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in Gansu Province, a remote region in northern central China. (‘Danxia’ is the name for a type of rock-form, ‘Zhangye’ being this particular location.)

Even for the undeniably powerful Mother Nature, creating something this arty wasn't easy! It in fact took 24 million years of painstakingly laying down mineral deposits to form these rocks, like pouring different colors of sand into a jar. Over time these weighty layers were compressed into rock, and then a slight and unthinkably slow ripple from the collision of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates rumpled the landscape into those magnificent undulations to complete the effect (meanwhile also giving rise to the Himalayas). Thus the amazingness of Zhangye Danxia was formed.

The rock-forms of Zhangye Danxia range in color from deep red to yellow and green, the highly contrasting bands of color glowing most intensely after rainfall. As the setting sun casts golden rays and a lacework of shadows across the landscape, the visual effect becomes even more stunning......!!!

See if you can spot the tourists......hehe!^^

Cancun Underwater Museum

Underwater Museum in Cancun, Mexico – Submerge yourself in one of the most beautiful and clear waters of the world, The Mexican Caribbean. Definitely something not to be missed!!!

Cancun Underwater Museum is located underwater off the coast of Isla de Mujeres and Cancun, Mexico. It is an underwater museum with a series of sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor. The project began in November 2009 with placement of a hundred statues which had been previously damaged by storms, in shallow waters of the Cancún National Marine Park.

The sculptures are created with pH-neutral marine concrete and are based on members of the local community. The artist planned the sculptures as artificial reefs with fire coral planted in the initial sculptures. Soon, it is going to be home to one of the largest underwater museums on the planet, located in Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Forming this museum will be a series of underwater sculptural installations all sited within the protected National Marine Park, of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

Divers and snorkelers will have the opportunity to admire more than 400 original sculptures in depths ranging from 9 to 20 feet. Jason deCaires Taylor offers a contemporary and cultural view to people around the world of how the Mayan people have evolved through out the years in “The Silent Evolution”. This monumental installation consists of more than 400 life size figurative sculptures. Also located in the museum, near the island of Isla Mujeres, a sculpture entitled “The Dream Collector” will be submerged, along with many other unique master pieces.

The purpose of having this underwater museum is to provide the visitors the opportunity to visit our pristine natural reefs while giving the opportunity to see the gorgeous sculptures. Other than that, it helps the conservation of the natural corals a lot. This underwater museum also promote Cancun as a cultural and artistic developing area. This project can be continued as well because the growth of the project can invite many other fine artists for many years to come.

Being environmentally friendly, the sculptures are all designed to become artificial reefs and are constructed from special materials which promote marine life and create areas for corals and marine creatures to breed, take refuge, and this boost the local ecosystem. One more thing to mention is the appearance of the sculptures will change over time as the coral grows and marine life colonize the structures......

So, lets Mexico be your next vacation!^^ Believe me~ I am sure you guys will fall in love with it xD

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park

What a surreal sight! 

If you ever travel to Brazil make sure to visit Lençóis Maranhenses National Park.

It located in Maranhão state, in northeastern Brazil, is one of the most marvelous and unique places in the world. An area encompassing about 1000 square kilometers of white silky sands intercepted at regular intervals by endless cool oases of turquoise lakes.

At first glance Lençóis Maranhenses looks like an archetypal desert. In fact it isn't actually a desert just like the Tottori Sand Dunes aren’t. Lying just outside the Amazon basin, the region is subject to a regular rain season during the beginning of the year. The rain water accumulates in the valleys in between sand dunes and forms clear blue and green lagoons that reach their fullest between July and September. The area is also surprisingly home to a variety of fish which, despite the almost complete disappearance of the lagoons during the dry season, have their eggs brought from the sea by birds. Mangroves, deserted beaches, buritis - a graceful kind of palm tree - and the Preguiças River help compose the park's diversity.

Lençóis Maranhenses has been formed over thousands of years, as the sand from riverbeds is deposited at the mouth of the rivers and brought back to the continent by winds and sea currents.

The dunes advance as far as 31 miles into the continent and stretch along 27 miles of coastline, mostly deserted beaches. Some of the lagoons at Lençóis Maranhenses National Park are huge. Lagoa Bonita and Lagoa Azul are near the town of Barreirinhas. Lagoa Tropical, also worth a visit, is closer to the village of Atins. Lagoa da Gaivota (Seagull Lagoon), one of the park's largest and most beautiful, is near Santo Amaro do Maranhão, a village located about 60 miles from Barreirinhas.

The best time to visit the park is roughly from May to September, when it's sunny, yet the lagoons are still full......

The Mysterious "Eye of the Sahara"

When you think of an eye, chances are you don't think of a desert, right? Yet if you are an astronaut that happens to look down while orbiting over the eastern part of the Sarah Desert, then there it is staring back at you! The Mysterious "Eye of the Sahara"



The ‘Eye of Africa’ (also known as the Eye of the Sahara) lies within the large east-African country of Mauritania, out in the Sahara Desert. Properly known as the Richat Structure, it is easy to see where its nickname comes from. Looking at it from above, it looks a lot like a big blue eye staring out of the ground. 

Satellite image of the Richat Structure

Location of the structure in Mauritania

Distant satellite image of Mauritania - the structure is just visible, even from this far away

It is about 40 kilometers in diameter, and as you can see from the above picture, it is highly visible in satellite pictures.  So, how was this geological wonder formed? Researchers aren’t entirely sure. It was initially thought to have formed as the result of an asteroid impact, but scientists haven’t found any evidence for extraterrestrial involvement, other than its circular appearance.

Zoomed-in image of the Richat Structure from Google Maps

Geologists now believe that it is most likely to be a very symmetrical ‘geologic dome’. Wikipedia’s summary of a dome is this:

‘In structural geology, a dome is a deformational feature consisting of symmetrically-dipping anticlines; their general outline on a geologic map is circular or oval. The strata in a dome are upwarped in the center; if the top of a dome is eroded off, the result will be a series of concentric strata that grow progressively older from the outside-in, with the oldest rocks exposed at the center.’


No matter what led to the creation of it, the Richat Structure looks amazing, and I’m hoping that I will get to go and visit it one day!! Do you wanted to go with me? ^^
