Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage,but these days it's more like a movie set.Getting to know some films to find fantastic film locations,you should check out on your travels.
The Sound of Music
Austria's hills are certainly alive with the sound of music and tourists.Mozart may have been born in Salzburg,but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie.Cross Residenzplatz Square and visit the Palace of Leopoldskron where the children in the film fell into the lake.
Troy
Although the Troy was filmed on sets built at Shepperton Studios in the UK,most of the 2004 movie was shot in Malta and Baja California,Mexico.Malta with historic sites and beautiful blue waters was a good choice to replace Greece.Troy was shot at a host of locations,including Golden Bay,Hal Far as well as Fort Ricasoli (where the city of Troy was constructed).The Trojan horse from the film is now lying on the waterfront in Canakkale,Turkey.
Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London.Her special corner flat is above the Globe Tavern by Borough Market,one of the city's oldest and biggest food markets.According to The Telegraph,it would be highly unlikely that she could afford to buy a place like that today since it has risen in value by more than 240 percent.
Harry Potter
J.K.Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books while she was living in Edinburgh,Scotland,so it's no surprise that she set most of the story there.The Hogwarts Express travels through the Scottish Highlands and along the 31 meters high Glenfinnan Viaduct.The second highest waterfall in the UK,Steal Falls can be seen during Quidditch matches.

Madagascar,the world's second largest island country located off Africa's eastern coast,is an island of diverse ecosystems and a biodiversity hot spot.The country has unique wildlife,with 90%of its plants and animals found nowhere else.Madagascar's wildlife creates some of the country's most beautiful scenery and popular spots.One of its conspicuous landscapes,attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth,is the Avenue of the Baobabs in the Menabe region.This avenue is made up of numerous baobab trees along the dirt road linking Belon'i Tsiribihina and Morondava,creating a unique and beautiful setting.
Baobab trees are common throughout Madagascar.Of the Earth's eight species,six are native to the country.Some of the baobabs in the country are about 2,800 years old,with trunks rising to 150 feet.The Avenue of the Baobabs is a row of about 25 baobabs stretching about 260 metres.Other baobab trees are also found in the nearby pastures (牧草地).This road is one of Madagascar's most visited places.It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa's oldest baobabs.These trees were once part of a forest that was made up of other plants.However,massive deforestation cleared the area of most trees,leaving the baobabs growing in isolation.
The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population.The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields,forest fires,and bush fires.Despite being a popular tourist attraction,the Avenue of the Baobabs has no admission fee or visitor centre and generates little income for local communities.
Thankfully,non-governmental organisations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue.The Ministry of Environment,Water,and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007.In July 2015,the site was declared a national monument,the first in Madagascar.The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years.
