Happy Magic Water Cube


Happy Magic Water Cube is located in Beijing, China. Beijing's National Aquatics Centre was built for the 2008 Summer Olympics, but after the Games were over, the centre lost some of its allure. As a result, in 2011, it was transformed into Happy Magic Water Cube, Beijing Water Cube Water Park, an impressive indoor waterpark for year-round use.The Water Cube on Beijing’s Olympic Green is easily one of the most enthralling aquatic centers on the planet. Its bubble-like exterior is almost as recognizable in China as the Mao portrait hanging above the Forbidden City. However, ever since Michael Phelps walked away with eight gold medals in 2008, the Beijing municipal government has struggled to make the complex a commercially viable venture and just recently placed all their hope in an incredibly ornate theme park. The “Happy Magic Water Cube, Beijing Water Cube Water Park,” now dominates the southern end of the structure and caters to an emerging urban elite who can afford the hefty entry price. The water park epitomizes the fantastical escapism so sought after by a burgeoning moneyed class in Beijing. Here one can slip into a state of reverie and forget about the smog-covered skies and endless traffic jams just outside the aqua-blue cellular membrane encasing the Happy Magic Water Park. It is the ultimate leisure playground in a country still coming to grips with profound social inequalities

Tropical Islands Resort


Located approximately 60 km south of Berlin we have the world’s largest dome that houses an artificial tropical resort. The structure itself is 360 meters long, 210 meters wide, 107 meters high and makes use of 14,000 tons of steel to remain erected. To give our readers a little perspective here; it can house 8 soccer fields and the Statue of Liberty can be easily placed inside it. The building has a volume of 5.5 million cubic meters. There are no supporting pillars inside the hall. This structure was designed and built back in 2000 for the CL160 which was never completed and eventually the company went bankrupt in 2002 and two years later emerged the Tropical Island Resort.
Once you enter the dome, you’ll be stepping into the world’s largest artificial rainforest. There are around 30,000 tress, groundcover and bushes. One can very well find some carnivorous plants, coffee bushes, banana trees, jungle creepers and many other exotic plants. There is a one km long path that goes through the forest and then we have a bridge right above the mangrove swamp which gives quite a view to its users. The dome makes use of real sunlight to provide nourishment to 500 species of plants that are planted within it.All the visitors are welcome to enjoy the 200 meters long artificial beach where they can even go for a swim in the artificial sea and enjoy 26 degrees Celsius all the time. The sea has been outlined with sandy beaches and has some small tropical islands which have been decorated by employing grass hunts. You’ll also find many re-creations of some of the very famous architectural work from Asia; Angkor Wat, the Balinese Temple Gate etc. You can find Buddha statues in abundance and there are ponds and canals running through the site.
This facility is open 24/7 all year long and has a lot of activities to keep attracting visitors. For instance; a swimming pool with a capacity of 8,000 persons at a time, 25 meters high water slide, restaurants, mini-golf course and many other highlights. Let’s not forget the overnight camping on Paradise beach.
The dome enjoys some really cool environment friendly features as well. The recycled water from the pools is used to water the plants. Owing to the humidity inside,  every now and then water condensation gathers and then falls resulting in spontaneous rain showers which are really cool!
So if you’re planning to visit Germany, do take a trip to this wonderful place.

The mysterious of Machu Picchu



The location of Machupicchu is 112.5 km. northeast of the city of Cusco,Peru at 2,350 meters, within the Machu Picchu Archaeological Park, which comprises a large area of the province of Urubamba in the Cusco Department. It is surrounded by a huge forest of majestic mountains.








The Ruins of Machu Picchu

Certainly, the most important thing to do at Machu Picchu... is see the ruins of Machu Picchu! These world-famous restored remains of the pre-Columbian Inca Empire consist of 200 structures – mostly residential, but also including important sites like the sun-oriented Intihuatana, the sacred Temple of the Three Windows and the Temple of the Sun. Other principal points of interest include the Gate of the Sun, the Main Temple and the Condor. Throughout the site, keep an eye out for the sophisticated solid walls characteristic of the Inca – intricate stonework with no mortar.



The Ascent of Huayna Picchu

Huayna Picchu, or Young Peak, is the oft-pictured mountain rising in the background several hundred meters above the Machu Picchu citadel. A stunning outlook over Machu Picchu and the surrounding area, it has become a very popular hiking destination, so much so that access is now fee-based and limited to 400 daily permits – 200 at 7am and 200 at 10am. Physically fit hikers will reach the top of Huayna Picchu in about 45 minutes, but should not underestimate the climb. It is not an easy trek, especially in the rain. The most dangerous parts involve steep steps with via-ferrata-style support cables and railings. There is even a girth-limiting squeeze through a narrow tunnel.



Climb to the Inca Bridge

Some believe that the path of the Inca Bridge was a secret back entrance to Machu Picchu. Like a drawbridge, the bridge itself could even be made impassable across its 20-foot gap in the narrow mountain trail right where it clings to the face of a 1,900-foot cliff. Two long tree trunks could traverse the breach, but when removed, there would be no simple way through. These days, for security reasons, crossing the bridge itself is forbidden, but you can get very close via a 30-minute flat path from the Caretakers Hut. During the first 15 minutes, you pass through lush cloud-forest vegetation before, at a clearing, the trail narrows to stone track seemingly carved out of the mountain and perched above a sheer vertical drop. Use of the metal and rope hand holds along the way is strongly encouraged, especially when the trail is at its most narrow.






Enchanting Coron



Coron Island is the third-largest island in the Calamian Islands in northern Palawan in the Philippines. The island is part of the larger municipality of the same name. It is about 170 nautical miles (310 km) southwest of Manila.
If you wondering about the activities that await you in the tropical paradise that is Coron, here are some of our suggestions.


Explore Coron Island and its lakes and lagoons.




Probably the most popular tour in this part of Palawan, Coron Island Tour will take you on a hop from one lake to another. Coron Island’s jagged coast harbors lagoons that are friendlier to swimmers. Further inland, accessible by trekking are eight lakes but only two of them are open to the public. Barracuda Lake sounds intimidating, or even frightening to some, but it reveals a fascinating surprise when you put your mask on. The cliffs that dive into its depth appear oddly intriguing, as if it hides a secret world. It just has a fantasy film feel to it. Kayangan Lake, said to be one of the cleanest in the country, has become the flagship destination of Coron, thanks to its crystal clear water, cradled in between karst cliffs.


Brave the 700 steps to the top of Mt. Tapyas.

It is the second tallest peak in Coron and is a popular first stop because of its accessibility. Mt. Tapyas may be reached on foot from the city center. At 210 meters, it is a dominant natural structure, towering over the town. It’s an easy climb; a concrete staircase leads to the summit. There are plenty of covered “rest stops” along the way so if you have the time, it doesn’t have to be that difficult. If you could, go in the late afternoon and catch the most breathtaking view of the islands during sunset.

Meet some mermaids

Well, not really mermaids but just as attractive — dugongs! If Bohol is famous for dolphins and Donsol for whale sharks, Coron has the gentle and lovable dugong for that exciting and enlightening wildlife encounter. The dugong (sea cow) is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s list of species that are vulnerable to extinction but they remain thriving in Coron, one of the few places where you can watch and observe them in the wild. You may contact the Dugong Dive Center at Club Paradise






The beautiful Sunflower & Lavender Field in Provence








Provence France is located in the south-eastern part of France. It is divided into six regions which are Bouches du Rhone, Var, Alpes Maritimes, Vaucluse, Alpes de Haute Provence, and Hautes Alpes.

Many members of the genus are widely cultivated in temperate climates as ornamental plants for garden and landscape use, and also commercially for extraction of essential oils. Popular destination for any photographer, the vast fields of purple little flowers and the beautiful yellow sunflower can make some stunning scenery.
The lavender in the Luberon blooms from around the last week of June to the beginning of August when it is harvested. It is usually at its peak in early July, but this depends on the rainfall in the year.If you want to see sunflowers and lavender together, sunflowers are in full colour in July-August. You may also find lavender fields that contain a stone borie, which makes a more interesting photo than just the lavender.

"Veni Vidi Vici : I came, I saw, I conquered"....Rome


Rome, Italy is located on the Italian Peninsula along side of the Tiber River. Rome is the capital of Italy and the country's largest city.



The Colosseum is a site like no other. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, nothing represents the sheer power and magnificence of the Roman Empire like this stunning piece of ancient architecture.
The Colosseum, or ‘Colosseo’ in Italian, was once the largest amphitheatre in the Roman Empire. It was built in the first century AD by the Emperor Vespasian as a place for the people of Rome to enjoy. Originally named the Flavian Amphitheatre, after Vespasian’s family name, the man who brought the Roman Empire back from the brink would not live to see its completion.


Villa dei Quintili, translated as the Villa of the Quintili, was one of the most lavish homes along the famous road that leads to Rome, the Via Appia. Of all the places to visit in Rome, Villa dei Quintili is one of the most forgotten. Yet this ancient villa, once home to Emperor Commodus (the baddie in Gladiator), is captivating. It remains in good nick all-in-all, and you can even see Commodus’ private gladiatorial training arena (not that it did him much good in the film…)   



One of the most famous places to visit in Rome, the Forum was the centre of Roman life. Today it lacks its former grandeur and needs a bit of imagination to really get the idea – until the oft-touted Roman theme park is built of course – but it does have loads to see. There are free tours you can join and these are worthwhile




Cyprus in your heart






Cyprus is an island country in Eastern Europe. It is situated in the Mediterranean, 47 miles (75km) to the south of Turkey. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily and Sardinia.



    Cyprus offers a unique travel experience, where visitors can experience the cultures of two different countries on one small island. Greece and Turkey each control parts of modern day Cyprus. But, travelers will find many of the country's treasures have roots that date back hundreds and thousands of years, with ruins built upon earlier ruins. Cyprus offers a good mix of interesting town and cities, archeological attractions, and recreational activities.
    One of the main towns and tourist attractions on Cyprus is Paphos. The entire town, which was a main center on Cyprus during Roman times, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Above the harbor is the 16th C Paphos Fort, while nearby can be found the 2nd to 4th C ruins of the Villa of Dionysos. Explore the old port, the museums, or take a tour to the nearby Adonis Falls.
    Limassol is another popular tourist destination, with a pleasant waterfront lined by a promenade. With a good mix of old and new, visitors can choose to wander through the ancient sites and museums, or spend the day shopping. Some of the sightseeing attractions in Limassol include the 14th C Fort, the Promenade, and the nearby village of Omodos.
    Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is located inland, and as a result receives fewer visitors. There are several things to do and see here though, so travelers should consider putting it on their agenda if they have the time. Its history dates to the 7th C but the city's most striking features are the Venetian Walls, built in the late 15th C. There are several interesting museums in Nicosia, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of the capital and the island. A good place to start is the Leventis Municipal Museum of Lefkosia.
