But reaching it is part of the adventure, as it needs a long, sometimes hard forest walk. An Underground Hotel in Wales In North Wales, an old, forgotten slate mine (板岩矿) has become the world’s deepest underground hotel. Lying 1,300 feet below ground, it offers a unique experience. Stay in simple but comfortable rooms, with only the quiet drip of water, making you feel far from the surface. A Floating Hotel in Sweden Sweden’s Salt & Sill has a floating hotel in a calm valley, where rooms move gently with the water. Next to it is a famous restaurant serving herring (鲱鱼) in many ways. After a good dinner, you can go back to your floating room. You can even climb a ladder (楼梯) from your room for a swim. A Campsite on Spanish Islands Near Spain’s coast, Islas Cies feels like a storybook’s deserted island — no cars, few buildings.
