Wadi Rum Protected Area, Jordan Known as Valley of the Moon, Wadi Rum is located in the south of Jordan, a little more than 60 miles south of the ancient city of Petra. As a desert landscape, it’s been the location for many space films. It’s worth spending some time overnight here—traditional Bedouin camps around the desert. Fiordland National Park, New Zealand A large part of this national park is uninhabited (无人居住的) and only accessible by boat or hiking trail. It’s filled with snow-capped mountains, and visitors might see fur seals, bottlenose dolphins and possibly even penguins. Cairngorms National Park, Scotland In the spring and summer months, it’s best to explore this part of Scotland’s eastern Highlands by foot but in wintertime, skis take over. It’s the largest park in the UK—twice as big as the Lake District National Park. With nine national nature reserves and three rivers, it doesn’t have a shortage of local wildlife. For the best places to bed down nearby, we suggest art-filled The Fife Arms and Killliehuntly Farmhouse and Cottages. Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal Home to Mount Everest—the highest mountain in the world at 29,032 ft—Sagarmatha National Park in Nepal is where many hikers kick-start their lifetime goal of climbing from Everest’s Base Camp. The park is also home to several rare animal species. It’s an adventurer’s paradise (天堂) for those looking for less of hiking. 1. In which park can you enjoy the desert landscape? A. Wadi Rum Protected Area. B. Fiordland National Park. C. Cairngorms National Park. D. Sagarmatha National Park. 2. What do Fiordland National Park and Cairngorms National Park have in common? A.
