If you're a European who shops for groceries, you'll notice that roughly half of the produce available at supermarkets comes from Spain. This is because Spain's Mediterranean climate makes it an ideal location for year-round farming. However, what many people don't know is that the majority of this produce comes from a small area of just under 1,000 square kilometers called Poniente Amerience, or the Garden of Europe. This flat coastal territory is located just south of the popular resort town of Almería. Intensive farming began here in the 1960s, and by the year 2000, plastic greenhouses had completely covered the area. However, this practice is controversial due to the alleged slave-like working conditions of the African workers and the resulting plastic waste that pollutes the Mediterranean and harms marine life.

China, Hunan Zangjiji forest is said to look similar to the famous floating forest from the movie Avatar. It is located in the northwest of Hunan and consists of quartzite sandstone formations, which are unique to this area. The park is protected by UNESCO and has over 240 peaks of more than 3,000 pinnacles and spires that dominate the landscape. These formations are known for their surreal beauty, especially in the morning mist when it appears as if they are floating in thin air.

Socotra Island is located in the Indian Ocean, closer to Somalia than to mainland Yemen, and has a population of approximately 70,000 people who speak the unique language of Cicaday. The island has around one-third of the plant species that are endemic, meaning that they can be found nowhere else in the world. It is a perfect destination for nature lovers who enjoy camping, hiking, and immersing themselves in the natural world. Socotra is an ecological paradise, famous for the Socotra dragon tree, which is unique to this island.

Nappy Tao is Myanmar's new capital city and is located approximately five or six hours directly north of Yangon. It is four times the size of London and has luxurious hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and a 20-lane highway. However, it was never inhabited and has barely 1 million inhabitants, unlike London's population of around 9 million. The reason behind the shift from Yangon was reportedly due to its exposed location. Nappy Tao was built to attract people, but it seems to be abandoned, with no cars on the roads and no one buying from the shops.

The Chocolate Hills of Bohol Island in the Philippines are a collection of around 1,700 conical hills, which are so regularly shaped that they could be mistaken for man-made structures. They range in height and earn their nickname because the lush green foliage turns brown in the dry season. According to UNESCO, the hills are the uplift of coral deposits resulting from rainwater erosion.

The Pink Lake in Western Australia is a result of the accumulation of red pigment beta-carotene by algae, giving it a pink color. It is located a 16-hour drive from Perth, making it a challenging spot to reach.

Vinicunca, also known as Rainbow Mountain, was discovered in 2015 and is now considered a holy site in Peru. It is famous for its mineralogy, which created a marbling effect, with hues of gold, lavender, red, and turquoise towering into the sky. It has become a hot spot for tourists and is now the second most visited attraction in the Cusco region.

Coober Pedy is an underground community located in the middle of the Australian outback, which began as an opal mining operation in 1916. The community has now expanded and has entire bedrooms, bookstores, churches, and bars installed in the carved underground walls. After over 100 years of living in these dugouts, the people who live there call it home and have no plans of moving out.

The Tunnel of Love is located between the village of Klevan and Oziv on the Corville River line in Ukraine. It is a seven-kilometer-long track where trees were deliberately planted alongside the line to conceal any transport of military hardware during the Cold War era. Although the military base is still in use, it is now a popular destination for couples in love to take cheesy pictures.
