Located in the northwest of China’s Hunan Province, these amazing limestone peaks are covered in green and often shrouded in fog. A cable car takes visitors to Huangxi Village, where there are many trails to enjoy the stunning views of Tianzi (‘Son of Heaven’).

 

 

These mountains inspired the floating mountains in the movie ‘Avatar’. In 2022, a new visitor center was opened, which provides interactive exhibitions about the geology and cultural importance of the region.

It is an uninhabited valley 216 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. Soft sandstone, over the years, eroding by wind and water has created peculiar cliffs or hoodoos that some think resemble goblins. The scenic landscape covers about a mile and is two miles long, and it’s best to explore the marked trails to get close to the bizarre formation.

 

 

Also a relatively unknown fact is that you can go on a spectacular canyoning adventure in the Goblins Valley. In recent years, the park has gained popularity due to social media, so visitors are encouraged to plan their trips during off-peak hours to avoid crowds.

The island of Socotra is a place that is unlike any other place. Isolated from the African mainland six million years ago, it feels like a scene from a sci-fi movie. The island is home to incredible and unique plants and trees that you won’t find anywhere else. Two of the most unusual are the Ancient Dragon’s Blood Tree and the Bulbs Bottle Tree. It is definitely one of the most unique places in the world!

 

 

Even though Yemen is facing conflict, people are still working hard to protect Socotra’s special environment. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. However, it is still difficult to travel there due to the political problems in the area.
