The World’s Most Beautiful Places
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Dense, lush and otherworldly, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the last habitats of the mountain gorilla. Several hundred call this UNESCO-protected national park home, with the chance for visitors to trek to and meet habituated groups. Its biodiversity extends far beyond its most famous inhabitants, however, almost 350 bird species and around 220 butterfly species can be found within its 331-square-kilometer expanse.

The grassland and acacia(金合欢树)-dotted landscapes of its national reserve are home to the endangered reticulated (网状) giraffe and Grevy’s zebra, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.
Mount Toubkal, Morocco
At 4,167 meters(13,671 feet),Mount Toubkal lays claim to the title of “the roof of North Africa.”The path to its summit zigzags across empty valleys, past holy lands and up steep snowfields before emerging onto a ridge that falls away to give climbers matchless views across the Atlas Mountains.
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China
China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province is known for its towering sandstone pillars.
Best explored on foot, its back trails make for an easy way to escape the crowds and find the best views. As the mists descend, it’s easy to see why this area has long been an inspiration for traditional Chinese paintings.
