Are you ready to see 10 more no less beautiful places around the world? Then get ready! Today we are going to travel to the USA, Slovenia, Canada, Island, China, Japan and some other counties around the globe to see what sight are hidden there.
Be sure! There are a lot of places around the world that can still impress you!
Caves, temples, beaches, lakes, rocks, volcanoes — you have never seen anything like that in your life.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
The main Hindu temple in Cambodia is dedicated to the god Vishnu. This is the largest religious building ever built by man. Angkor is not one temple, but a whole complex of buildings that occupy the territory of 200 kilometers (although archaeologists say that Angkor used to occupy about 5 thousand kilometers, it is hard even to imagine). The architecture of the XII century, sculptures and bas-reliefs will surprise even those who are not particularly interested in history. And it is better to come here for a few days, because to explore quickly the place in one day is unreal.
Glass Beach, USA
It is located near the Mackericher National Park in California. Despite the fact that the beach itself looks magical in the light of day, the history of its appearance is not the most bright. For many years garbage from nearby cities was dumped on the coast. Broken bottles, washed by ocean waves, became more and more smooth until they turned into beautiful multi-colored pebbles, which today strewn the entire beach. By the way, keep in mind that taking stones home is strictly prohibited, but if you find a piece of glass there, you can safely take it with you for a collection of souvenirs.
Lake Bled, Slovenia
Bled is the name of a charming alpine town in Slovenia, located in the north-west of the country. Not far from it there is a lake of the same name, which attracts thousands of tourists annually. This is a place for good fishing, mountain climbing, peaceful recreation in nature, boat trips and doing sports.
Kliluk, Canada
Kliluk, or the Spotted Lake, is a reservoir in British Columbia, near the city of Osojos. The lake water is rich in minerals (magnesium sulfate, calcium, sodium, silver and titanium). Therefore, in summer, fanciful spots appear on its surface, which, depending on the weather, are painted in different colors. Needless to say, the water in the lake has a strong healing effect.
Northern Lights, Iceland
The Northern Lights is an amazing natural phenomenon: an explosion must occur on the Sun so that you can see it from the Earth. Iceland is a great place to see the Northern Lights, but not the only one. In some regions of Russia, you can also admire this phenomenon.
Colored Cliffs of Danxia, China
China is really beautiful. Only here you can see the colorful mountain formations consisting of red sandstones and conglomerates of the Cretaceous period. This place next to the city of Zhangye is becoming more popular, so now there is the necessary infrastructure so that everyone can explore the amazing colored rocks.
Darvaza, Turkmenistan
Darvaza is a gas crater in Turkmenistan, which for a rather frightening appearance locals and travelers call the door to hell or the gates to hell. In the 70s, geologists discovered gas accumulation near the village of Darvaz, and they began to drill a well, but by chance the earth collapsed and a huge hole filled with gas was formed. So that people living nearby did not poison themselves with harmful fumes, it was decided to set fire to gas. Everyone thought that the fire would go out after a couple of days. But since 1971, the fire continues to blaze during day and night.
Lake Baikal, Russia
It is the cleanest and deepest lake on the planet. The volume of water in Lake Baikal is about 23,000 km³, which is 20% of the world’s and 90% of Russian fresh water. And, of course, this is one of the most beautiful places you can imagine. Therefore, Baikal is so loved by people of our country.

Aogashima Volcano, Japan
The eponymous island of Aogashima was formed as a result of volcanic activity. The volcano has not erupted since 1700, but is still considered active. About 200 people live right next to the crater. To see all the beauty of this place, you need to go to the very peak of it — that is more than 430 meters above the sea level. You can reach the island only by helicopter or boat.
Skaftafell Cave, Iceland
Bright sapphire light in the cave appeared due to the fact that during the centuries the ice was compressed, expelling air bubbles. Since there is no oxygen left, the ice absorbs sunlight and shimmers in shades of blue. For safety reasons, travelers can only visit Skaftafell when the temperature is low.
