Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex – an attractive destination of Ninh Binh. Abundant tourism resources As an ancient land located in the Red River Delta, Ninh Binh used to be the capital of Vietnam (in the period 968 – 1010) with 3 dynasties Dinh, Le, and Ly. Traces of the ancient capital preserved intact to this day are the relics of Hoa Lu ancient capital. Along with that is a diverse humanistic tourism resource with more than 1,500 historical – cultural relics, including 1 World Cultural and Natural Heritage, 2 Special National Monuments; 225 festivals and 83 typical traditional craft villages. Referring to Ninh Binh, it must be mentioned that natural resources are extremely rich, typically the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex which has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage with 400 large and small caves. In addition, Ninh Binh also owns the largest forest area compared to other provinces in the Red River Delta (more than 29,000 ha); in which, there is Cuc Phuong National Park – home to nearly 2,000 species of higher plants and 2,600 species of animals. In addition, there are special-use forests of Hoa Lu rocky mountains and Kim Son coastal mangrove forests with many species of animals and plants listed in the World Red Book. The above potentials are the conditions for Ninh Binh to build many types and products of tourism such as spiritual tourism, culture – history, ecology, resort, community, heritage, MICE (combined tourism). As a result, many tourism products of Ninh Binh have been highly appreciated by the international media, such as Tam Coc tourist area, which was introduced by CNN as one of the seven most beautiful caves in Vietnam and a newspaper. Telegraph (UK) once voted as one of 15 “beautiful but little known” places, or Bulletin magazine (Switzerland) voted Ninh Binh as one of the 10 most attractive destinations in Vietnam… Hoang Kim Nhut, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City shared after his trip in March 2021: “I was overwhelmed while sailing, discovering the beauty of Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex and the National Park. Van Long Nature Reserve. Ninh Binh makes a strong impression on me by its majestic rocky mountain system, diverse ecosystem and unspoiled nature. Hopefully, Ninh Binh will promote the power of this tourism resource in the future.” Connecting important “links” Thanks to the synchronous implementation of solutions in the state management of tourism, promotion and product development, etc., despite being significantly affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, the first quarter of 2021 Ninh Binh still welcomed 619,572 visitors, reaching 50% over the same period in 2020, revenue was estimated at nearly 420 billion VND, reaching 61.3% over the same period in 2020. Humbly acknowledging the achieved results, Dr. Bui Van Manh, Director of Ninh Binh Department of Tourism said: “Besides the above results, Ninh Binh’s tourism products are still duplicated, monotonous, lacking in connectivity end; some products have not effectively exploited resources to create quality products and services with cultural depth. This has greatly influenced the promotion of comparative advantages and enhanced competitiveness of Ninh Binh compared to other destinations in the country. In order for Ninh Binh tourism to truly become a spearhead economic sector, contributing positively to the process of structural transformation and socio-economic development of the locality, Mr. Bui Van Manh said that the “link” is important. The most important thing is to organize promotion and promotion, focus on developing tourism products based on the sustainable exploitation of heritage and traditional cultural values ​​in order to create products bearing the local imprint. and suitable to the needs of the guest markets, especially domestic customers during this time. With the desire to soon recover and develop strongly in the coming time, Mr. Bui Van Manh said that Ninh Binh tourism industry has been implementing synchronous measures such as: Issuing preferential and attractive policies. investment in tourism; Build a safe, friendly and attractive Ninh Binh tourist destination; Promote linkages with localities, diversify tourism products; Develop an overall strategy for promotion, promotion and development of the local destination brand; Applying science and technology, digital transformation in tourism development; Check and promptly handle acts of infringing upon heritage and tourism resources… These are fundamental solutions for Ninh Binh tourism to develop sustainably in the coming time.

However, from the end of November 2020, the factory stopped working. This is like a knife cut into the despair of the nearly 300 inhabitants living on the island. These people are forced to drink contaminated water, fear outbreaks of disease and face the fear of prolonged starvation. Impotent “Skin diseases and diarrhea are widespread, especially among children. We have no choice but to drink contaminated water or salt water,” said Taboree Biremon, a resident of Banaba island. “The kids are not okay because they don’t understand (why do we have to deal with this). They keep asking for the kind of food they never get. We just feel so sad about it but what can we do?” According to Mr. Taboree, it has been 3 months since people have had no fresh water to drink, cannot bathe, have no food other than fish because all crops have died. “We couldn’t sleep either. All we wanted was to find water on the island. We are looking for a way to survive. We were adrift in the sea, lost and no one cared,” Mr. Taboree said. Empty food shelves – a familiar image in many houses in Banaba. Photo: Guardian. A ship from Kiribati – 400km away – docked this past March – providing bottled water and equipment to set up a new desalination plant. But island seniors insist relying on remote support is not feasible and sustainable, especially as the climate crisis worsens. “Dealerization plants are not a long-term solution. As the incident continued, we were in the same impasse again. What the people need is to restore the status of the island,” said Roubena Ritata, a village elder. Banaba leaders are looking for a lasting solution. In fact, there is a solution that their ancestors have worked for decades to survive on this island: the traditional method of drawing water. Reason Elders are writing to the Australian and New Zealand governments asking for assistance in building or cleaning up a network of underground water in the caves, called te bangabanga . Australia and New Zealand contributed to the destruction of the bangabanga te system in the 20th century from phosphate mining. This activity was started by Australian miner Albert Ellis in 1900. Over the next 80 years, the British Phosphate Commission (BPC) – owned by Australia, New Zealand and the UK – exploited Banaba Island so much that about 90% of the island was bare land. “The total destruction (Banaba island) is the result of the activities of these countries. They come, fill their pockets, and leave,” said Katerina Teaiwa, an associate professor at the Australian National University and author of “Ocean Island: The Story of Man and Phosphate from Banaba”. The Banaba has historically survived many severe droughts thanks to caves and water storage. The underground caves are called te bangabanga. Photo: Guardian. However, the elderly residents here claim that almost all of the caves have been destroyed, the remaining few are seriously polluted. “For many people, te bangabanga exist only in stories and dances that have been passed down through generations,” said elder Pelenise Alofa. Historically, only women have been allowed to enter these caves, showing the importance and role of women in the Banaba community. “We performed dances and told the story of how the ancestors found the cave to the young. It’s part of the people of Banaba. I thought these problems would be solved, but they got worse,” said Alofa. The Banaba used to receive a compensation for what they had to endure. In 1976, a group of people sued the UK over the destruction of the island’s nature. The court then ruled that Britain had only a moral debt, not a legal obligation. In the end, the British government decided on behalf of the group to offer the Banaba people a good faith settlement of nearly $7.8 million, on condition that they waive all further legal action. Now, as the drought persists, the Banaba people are forced to continue their search for compensation and find a lasting solution. Looking for justice 6,000 people were forced to migrate from the island to the Fijian island of Rabi. “Banaba citizens living in Fiji and the diaspora in Auckland are eager to return to Banaba and connect with their homeland. But the devastation caused by mining operations leaves people with no other choice,” said Rae Baineti, director of the Kiribati Auteroa Diaspora Director. “As a social activist, I advise the younger generation to stand firm and be brave. I encourage them to dialogue to hold the government accountable for our destruction of land,” he added. An old cantilever used to load phosphates for ships. Photo: Guardian. Over-mining has also resulted in houses in Banaba being built with asbestos. This substance when inhaled can lead to two deadly diseases, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Mike McRae-Williams, an Australian environment expert with over 30 years of experience in the mining industry, came to Banaba in 2008 to assess the severity of the situation. “This is a serious health hazard to the people who live here,” he said. “Instead of constantly giving stories like ‘poor Banaba people, no water, help them’, we should aim for an approach that is to find a reasonable solution,” said resident Teaiwa. While supporting the emergency rescue effort along with the Kiribati government, a spokesperson for the New Zealand Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade declined to comment on the Banaba residents’ request for New Zealand and Australia to address the root of the crisis. panic. Meanwhile, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade did not provide an answer to this issue.

After school or in his spare time, Canto often performs burrowing by hand. Later, Canto’s friend Andreu brought along a pneumatic drill to speed up the process – the two eventually created a 3m deep cave. Andres Canto stands outside his cave. Six years later, Canto tried to create his own cave with separate living room and bedroom with heating, wifi, music system. Now 20 years old, Canto really doesn’t understand what motivated him so much to build this cave but he’s happy with the result. Canto continued: “It’s great, I have everything I need. Working here can be uncomfortable because it’s humid and there’s not much air around, but I found my own motivation to keep going. keep perfecting it every day”. Cantor’s burrow sometimes suffers from flooding and is often visited by insects, spiders, and snails, but this guy usually doesn’t mind. He further explained: “I have always liked building small huts. I live in the countryside and when I find discarded wood, I will build a nice house,” added Cantor. Canto estimates that the project costs no more than €50 (£43) as most of the building materials are much cheaper than he expected. Canto mainly burrows using buckets to bring up the soil, but eventually decided to incorporate other digging techniques such as using a pulley system. Canto also reinforced his cave’s roof using a vaulted entrance and vaulted ceiling with columns, as well as concrete walls to prevent collapse. Image of the cave during the previous construction. Video of Canto’s cave quickly went viral on social media and immediately attracted the attention of local authorities. Canto said: “Since I was the first to do such a thing, when the local officials arrived, there were no specific reports of it. It was not a basement, nor was it a warehouse, it’s just a well-built hut in the ground.” Amazingly, Canto’s parents were also normal with their son’s “retreat” in the ground. Canto even said: “My mother went down to the cave and told me it was smaller than the one in the video”.

Death Valley is located in the state of California, USA is one of the most famous places in the world. This place is associated with some surprising secrets. Specifically, Death Valley has almost no rain all year round. This place has recorded 6 weeks of the year the temperature is always above 40 degrees Celsius. In particular, in 1913, the temperature measured in Death Valley reached 56.7 degrees Celsius. As a result, Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world to be uninhabited. Although it rarely rains, every time it rains, Death Valley creates a special landscape. At that time, in hot places, when rainwater falls, red mud will appear. This scene looks like a volcano erupting lava. This is the reason why this place is also known as the “dead crater”. Contrary to the name, Death Valley in the spring seems to become another land when wild flowers bloom at the same time. At that time, Death Valley attracted visitors with “flower carpets” of yellow, purple, pink, white… Not only that, a number of lakes, caves full of water … in Death Valley Death Valley is home to 6 species of fish. Among these is a world-famous rare fish called Cyprinodon diabolis. The Eureka Sand Dunes north of Death Valley are the tallest sand dunes in California. According to experts, this sand dune is up to 207m high, 4.8 km long and 1.6 km wide. Invite readers to watch the video: Be amazed by the beauty of the valley of clouds and sky, Mai Chau, Hoa Binh.

Elephant Mammoth Columbia Voi Extinction time: 11,500 years ago Living area: America and Mexico Illustration. Elephant Mammoth, you probably already know. They are huge, have long fur and a pair of huge tusks. They appear in many pictures, documentaries, movies. However, here we are talking about the Columbian Mammoth elephant, which is a relative of the long-haired but larger Mammoth. A Mammoth Columbia can be from 3.7 to 4.2m tall, weighing from 5.5 to 11 tons. Their tusks average 3.7m long, the largest of the elephant family and extremely strong, used to handle any carnivores that dare to come close. Prehistoric people, of course. Lazy land Extinction time: 4200 years ago Living area: South America The sloth is a lovely, harmless creature. The Megatherium is also a sloth, but it’s not like the slow, bully sloths you’re used to seeing. Megatherium also does not live on trees, because no tree can withstand its huge body. Megatherium has several subspecies, the smallest species is as big as a rhinoceros, and the largest can weigh up to 4-5 tons when mature, equivalent to modern African elephants. They can be up to 6m tall, similar to giraffes when standing on 2 legs. In addition, they also have a set of super-large claws used to slap the mouth of any carnivore. The ground sloth finally lived peacefully on the islands of the Caribbean, until about 4200 years ago, when the “species that everyone should fear” set foot and drew an end to the sloths walking on the face. land. Orangutan Gigantopithecus Extinction time: 100,000 years ago Living area: Mainly in Southeast Asia Gigantopithecus was a close relative of modern orangutans but was much larger. They can be 3m tall, weigh up to half a ton and are the most massive primates that have ever walked the Earth. If you need a clearer picture to visualize the size of a Gigantopithecus, check out the cute giant orangutan in The Jungle Book. But that’s in the movies, who knew what such a huge beast could do to a small human? Gigantopithecus went extinct with the main cause not being human. The fact that they are large also means that they need a lot of food to survive. However, about 100,000 years before the climate changed and the forests of their homeland – Southeast Asia – became savanna, Gigantopithecus simply “flies” because there is not enough food. Cave hyena Extinction time: 11,000-13,000 years ago Living area: Europe If you often watch documentaries about wildlife in Africa, such as the Diary of the Cat Family, you are probably familiar with spotted hyenas. These guys have a lot of bad reputations. They are cunning, reckless, attack in herds, scavenge for prey of other species such as leopards and lions or even enter villages to capture children. However, spotted hyenas are still not comparable to their ancient relatives – the cave hyena. Cave hyenas were twice the size of modern spotted hyenas, weighing on average 130kg, 90cm high and 1.5m long. They have extremely strong jaws, enough to chew the bones of their prey. Calculations based on fossils show that a cave hyena can easily kill a small elephant weighing about 1 ton. But that’s not enough to say how scary they are. They still live in groups of about 30 to help hunt more effectively. However, with our ancestors, they are not easy to touch. Cave hyenas became extinct somewhere between 11,000 and 13,000 years ago. The main cause is believed by paleontologists to be that prehistoric people took the caves for shelter during the Ice Age. Sword tooth tiger Extinction time: 10,000 years ago Living area: All Americas The saber-toothed tiger sounds like that, but in fact, they don’t have a close family to the tiger. Most saber-toothed tigers became extinct before modern humans appeared. However, there are still a few that can encounter humans, such as Smilodon populator and Smilodon fatalis. In which, Smilodon fatalis is as big as an African lion, and Smilodon populator is bigger, as big as a Siberian tiger (about 350kg). According to the calculations of paleontologists, saber-toothed tigers have rather weak jaws, the bite force is only about 1/3 of that of modern lions. However, in return, they have other things. In addition to their trademark long fangs, saber-toothed tigers also have extremely muscular forelimbs, the strongest of the cat family to assist in capturing prey before slicing its throat with long scythe-like fangs. Another theory is that they can use these fangs as knives to “skewer” their prey to death. But no matter how they killed their prey, a prehistoric human would surely explode if caught by it.

Fruit garden planted on basalt Through the fairy land Buon Choah is also known as Cat village (Choah village, Krong No district, Dak Nong province), formerly mainly Ede people, they took the alluvial sand from Krong No river to name the village. The remote commune of Krong No district is the location of the global volcanic geological park. On the way from Buon Ma Thuot city to Choah village (where there is a volcanic cave complex), we heard Mr. Le Hoang Co, General Director of Dam San Tourism and Trade Company, a passionate explorer, many times. led the delegations to experience and learn about the land and volcanic caves of Dak Nong, sharing: for many years, the people here have lived by the rice trees, drank the river water, lived a kind and loving life. They love the road which is the burning rocks not because of the scorching sun but due to the impact of the volcano, which is quite interesting and strange. Especially the orchards planted on the wrong rocks are full of fruit. Whether it is a rice field or an orchard, when harvested, the yield is unbelievably high. This place has tourism potential, attractive agricultural resources, must combine all the strengths of the region to make products to attract tourists and improve the quality of life of the people. What makes this land poetic beauty is the endless stretch of rice fields, becoming a feature of the material and spiritual life of the people here. The fragrance of rice rose gently through the nose and the golden sun fell to the foot of the hill, Nguyen Thi Yen (Thanh Son village, Choah village) expressed, people call the rice fields in Choah village the golden rice bowl. because ST24 rice variety has good rice quality and high yield. In 1996, her family came here to set up a business, at this time, they grew RVT rice. In 2016, the government experimented with planting ST24, now it has grown the whole field. Her family has 2 hectares of this rice variety, two crops a year for 14 tons/ha and 2 sao of fruit trees: jackfruit, coconut, litchi and 10 cows, with a total income of 300 million VND per year. The newly discovered cave has a length of nearly 1 km The Krong No River appears before your eyes. The large ferry approached the shore, a group of 45 people from a company in crimson uniforms carried luggage onto the ferry. More than a few minutes of moving, touching the shore, each group in turn was arranged to wait for 5 workers and farmers. The peacock raced up the slope, everyone was surprised to see papaya, avocado trees on both sides of the road, forming a beautiful green patch, pressed against the dark gray pumice area. And the farmers themselves still see the mystery, in the fields and fields, there are only rocks and stones, yet the orchards are still green for bountiful crops. People forget the fatigue of the heat, find the heaven and earth here strangely enchanting. The hustle and bustle of life gradually subsided, in front of my eyes, thousands of colors flickered back and forth around the foot of the mountain, which was quiet and immense. This land for many years has been deposited by alluvium, now becoming the most fertile place of Choah village. The Krong No River builds up from the water to the products on both sides of the river, giving the local people a warm and friendly atmosphere, amidst the vastness of heaven and earth. The legendary story of A Tay and A Yong is told by the village elders over a jar of yeast that has been handed down for generations. That, their love was hindered because the girl’s house was too poor, there was no gift to bring the boy back to be her husband. The desperate couple threw themselves into the river to die. The girl turns into Krong Ana river (mother river), boy turns into Krong No river (father river). The Serepok River is the eternal blend of faithful love. The river has nurtured and created a culture unlike any other. While here there is a revelation of wonder that fascinates all mankind. The Mystery of the Bat Cave The vehicle carrying the group stopped in the middle of the orchard, next to the people’s farm huts. Weaving through the fruit-laden lychee orchard, we walked more than a kilometer on jagged pumice paths, frozen by the molten lava spewing out of the crater. The feet quickly reached the basalt field stretching as far as the eye could see. People seem to be trapped in the vast windy space, the fatigue is somewhat reduced. Touching the lava rock shelf where the new cave was discovered, each stone surrounded a giant arch. Following the flash of a flashlight, we groped on the jagged rock and entered the nearly 1 km long cave. In the dark and deep recesses of the cave, the smell of dampness penetrated the nostrils. The cool world inside the cave dispels the hot air outside. Flashlight streaks quickly glide over countless stalactites, traces of a volcano that have fallen asleep, making everyone stunned. The cave we are exploring, the experience is the newly discovered cave. Indigenous people say that there are many caves around this area, including bats, which is not strange. Before knowing Chu Bluk cave, the people around here used to call it Bat cave. If there are tourists to visit, these caves are not the first place they introduce, because of the wildness, difficult-to-find location, undeveloped services. Therefore, this has contributed to preserving the original purity of the cave until now. Leaving the cave, the sunset is long. On the Krong No river, the bobbing boats of the fishermen cast their nets and cast fishing lines. The woman showed off a 3kg trout struggling in her hand, returning down the stream after releasing the spoils. From time to time, motorboats carrying sand tore through the water, making the river’s surface agitated. Then, momentarily right there, the river was calm and calm again… The volcanic cave system in Krong No district, Dak Nong province is a 25km-long volcanic cave system in basalt, stretching from the crater of Buon Choah along the length of the Serepok River to the area of ​​Dray Sap waterfall. Dak Nong Geopark was recognized by UNESCO as a global geopark in 2020, contributing to strongly promoting tourism and attracting domestic and foreign tourists to explore. This is the third global geopark in Vietnam.

Visitors will be equipped with life jackets, diving goggles, snorkels, propellers (if desired) to freely swim and snorkel to see corals, explore the shimmering colorful world on the ocean floor. With normal health You can conquer a depth of about 20m, diving time is about 30 minutes under the ocean. Of course, the lifeguards will have to constantly watch their every movement. The interesting thing is that you can share these slightly adventurous feelings of exploring the sea with friends or family on the bottom of the sea. An interesting experience for those who love to explore the ocean will be an unforgettable memory that will never be forgotten. In Nha Trang, there is another place where you can snorkel and see coral. That is Monkey Island, a small island located in Nha Phu Bay, right near the beautiful Ninh Van Bay, and only 15km north of Nha Trang city center. To visit Monkey Island, you have to go to the pier at Da Chong port. The island has an area of ​​25ha and also owns a lot of beautiful scenes with more than 1,200 monkeys including many different species such as red-faced monkeys or gray-haired monkeys. Monkeys here are raised naturally in the primeval forests, not kept in cages. So before diving, you can have fun with cute, funny monkeys everywhere on the island. Pristine beach, no human intervention, clear blue sea and many beautiful coral reefs. This is a hiding place for many strange and precious sea fish. Because of that, it attracts the curiosity of visitors when they want to explore the blue ocean. In addition to the diving journey to see the sea in Nha Trang, visitors will be immersed in the sun, wind, sea and sky, struggling in the clear blue water while diving. Go ashore to enjoy fresh seafood dishes. Famous delicacies in Nha Trang can mention small abalone, dried shrimp, grilled clams with garlic butter.

Day after day after school, he used a hoe to expand his cave bit by bit. The speed of “construction” increased dramatically after Canto invited another friend to bring a pneumatic drill, and together they created an extremely unique 3 meter deep cave. The way down to the cave. Accordingly, this cave also looks quite “cool” when it has a living room, bedroom with heating, Wi-Fi network and music system. Canto said he reinforced the roof and walls of the cave with concrete and columns to prevent collapse. The total cost of buying the necessary building materials for this “project” only costs about 60 USD (about 1.4 million VND), Canto revealed. Inside the cave of the Spaniard. Occasionally, his cave also has a bit of trouble dealing with floods and is often visited by insects, spiders and snails. However, the amateur builder is not too concerned about these “uninvited friends” and shares: “There is no problem. Since I have invaded their home, I will have them build a new house on my wall.” A post about Canto’s “dwelling” on social media caught the attention of local officials. After that, the government sent inspectors to Canto’s house to check the strength and safety of the cave. Andres Canto in his cave. Although he doesn’t live all day in the cave, Canto spends a lot of his free time down there. His parents also did not show any objection to the son’s work. Canto said his mother watched the video of the cave and went down to see it herself: “My mother went down there too and said it was smaller than the one in the video.” With this unique idea, if at any time you intend to leave home because you are angry with your parents, but you are afraid of ghosts and dark, Canto has a place to stay… temporarily!

The study said the new virus is more distantly related to the previously found strains of the coronavirus that cause Covid-19. However, this new virus has a high degree of similarity in gene sequence with the virus that causes Covid-19. This is the first time that the Wuhan Institute of Virology has released detailed information about the virus it has collected several years ago. “These results suggest that the coronavirus we detected from bats may be just the tip of the iceberg,” the team wrote in the paper. Wuhan Institute of Virology, China. Photo: AFP. Many research results have never been published Through the paper, the institute also provides more insight into the viruses they host. The latest study examines eight viruses collected during a 2015 survey trip to a town in southwestern China’s Yunnan province. During this trip, researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology collected more than 1,000 specimens from bats living in and around the cave over a three-year period. The Wuhan Institute of Virology has studied the corona virus found in bats. Photo: South China Morning Post. This trip started after a few workers came to the cave and became ill. After testing, the doctors said they had an unprecedented virus, so they started looking for a virus from bats. The team also added that the group of workers at that time did not have Covid-19. Previously, in the journal Nature published in November 2020, Wuhan researchers said that during their exploration of the cave, they found 9 viruses that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome and Covid- 19. One of them is RaTG13 – published by researchers in February – still considered the closest “relative” to Sars-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19. The remaining eight viruses were newly classified in the May 21 paper. The origin of Covid-19 is still unclear and controversial. Doubt In February, after a trip to China, international experts investigating the origin of Covid-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested that the virus probably came from a bat-like animal. . The virus then passes to another animal that has close contact with humans and infects them. Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Photo: SCMP. However, critics, including the head of WHO, say the investigation is not deep enough. May 23, Wall Street Journal Citing a confidential US report, it was revealed that in November 2019, before China reported its first Covid-19 cases, some researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalized. . Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian stated on May 24 that the article was “completely untrue”. Article by Wall Street Journal was released ahead of the WHO meeting, which is expected to discuss in detail the next phase of the investigation into the origins of Covid-19. The amazing variety of corona virus virus Evolutionary biologist Edward Holmes at the University of Sydney said that the paper by researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology provides further evidence that the Wuhan laboratory does not have a virus closely related to Sars -CoV-2 – the origin of the Covid-19 outbreak. A database of hundreds of thousands of bats is needed to see a complete picture of the coronavirus. Photo: AP. “This paper shows us the incredible diversity of coronaviruses found in animals in the wild,” added Mr Holmes. He and another team of experiments also found four viruses in bats closely related to Sars-CoV-2 among more than 400 samples collected in Yunnan province. The area is considered by WHO to be an important place for further research into the origins of Covid-19, although it remains unclear whether research is ongoing. The May 21 article also highlights recent work that highlights the possibility that Covid-19 is related to another species, besides bats. A pangolin coronavirus has the ability to effectively bind to human cells, distinct from the bat viruses associated with Sars-CoV-2 that have been identified so far. However, according to Maciej Boni, an associate professor at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Pennsylvania State University (USA), there are not enough viruses yet to see an overall picture. “We need to have databases of hundreds of thousands of viruses in bats. Until then, we won’t have many new discoveries about the origin of Sars-CoV-2,” he said. Satellite photos show that Covid-19 can spread in Wuhan from August 2019 According to a study from Harvard Medical School (USA), satellite photos of hospital parking lots in Wuhan show that the corona virus may have been spreading since August 2019.

Inside Canto’s cave. After being scolded and criticized by his parents, 14-year-old Canto started digging in his family’s garden after school. Finally, Canto invited a friend to use a pneumatic drill to create a 3m deep cave. Canto also reinforced the roof and walls of the cave with concrete and columns. The total cost of the project is only about 60 USD (nearly 1.4 million VND). “I have always loved building small huts. I live in the countryside and when I find discarded wood, I build a nice house,” Cantor said. Cantor in his cave. Cantor’s cave sometimes suffers from flooding and is often visited by insects, spiders and snails, but the amateur builder doesn’t mind. A social media post about the cave caught the attention of local officials. The authorities have sent inspectors to check, to ensure the safety of the cave. “My mother also came down and said it was smaller than the picture in the video,” Cantor said.

Millennia later, scientists believe they have figured out why – a dense cloud of carbon dioxide causes animals that breathe it to suffocate. Dating back 2,200 years, the cave was rediscovered by archaeologists from the University of Salento in 2011. Simulation image of Plutonium It was located in a city called Hierapolis in ancient Phrygia, in what is now Turkey, and was used for animal sacrifices, which were bulls led through Plutonium, or the Gate of Pluto, the ancient god of the underworld – by the purified priests. The purified priests are sacrificing bulls As the priests led the bulls in, people could sit on high chairs above and watch the smoke billowing from the gate killing the animals. “ This space was so full of fog and dense that one could hardly see the ground. Any animal that goes inside is met with instant death. I threw the sparrows in and they immediately took their last breath and fell. ” wrote the Greek historian Strabo (64 BC – 24 AD). A photo showing dead birds at the entrance to “Hell’s Gate” It was this phenomenon that alerted the archaeological team to the location of the cave. Birds flying too close to the mouth of the cave suffocated and fell – indicating that, thousands of years later, it is still as deadly as ever. The culprit is seismic activity underground, according to volcanologist Hardy Pfanz of the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, who led a study of the cave’s gas in 2018. A fissure runs deep inside. below the area emitting a large amount of volcanic carbon dioxide. Today’s Status of Plutonium The team measured carbon dioxide levels in the area connected to the cave, and found that the gas – slightly heavier than air – forms a layer 40 centimeters (15.75 inches) above the floor. They found that the gas is scattered by the Sun during the day, but it is most dangerous at dawn after a night of accumulation. Concentrations that reach above 50% at the bottom of the lake, about 35% at 10 cm, can even kill a person – but, above 40 cm, concentrations drop rapidly. During the day, there was still some carbon dioxide about 5 centimeters high, as evidenced by dead bugs found by the team on the floor of the site. And inside the cave, they estimate CO2 concentrations consistently range from 86 to 91 percent, as neither the Sun nor the wind can enter. An inscription at the site indicates the hell gods Pluto and Kore. (Francesco D’Andria / University of Salento) The team notes in their paper that there is a strong touristic element to the place. Tourists could purchase small animals and birds that they could throw down for sacrifice, and on holidays larger animals were sacrificed by priests. “While the bull was standing in the lake with its mouth and nostrils 60 to 90 cm high, the large, mature priests (galli) always stood upright in the lake, ‘ the team wrote in their 2018 paper. Spectators will see large, strong bulls that can’t stand the smoke for a few minutes, while the priests remain strong and proud – a testament to the power of the gods and priests to perform. present to the people at that time. However, researchers believe that the priests were well aware of the characteristics of the cave and surrounding arena, and were able to conduct major sacrifices at dawn or dusk in the early days. Quiet day for maximum effect. Current status of the area They may also burrow their heads inside or into caves during midday ceremonies to demonstrate their abilities, holding their breath to endure. But the presence of oil lamps also suggests that priests approached the cave at night, according to the researcher who found it, Francesco D’Andria. Currently, the ancient city of Hierapolis still becomes one of the attractions attracting thousands of tourists.

(Photo: Internet) Nestled in the majestic mountain at Gun village, Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, Nguom Ngao cave was discovered in 1921, put into tourist operation in 1996 and recognized as a national scenic spot in 1998. Although still quite young compared to many caves in Vietnam such as Phong Nha cave (250 million years old), Trang An cave cluster (250 million years old),… but Nguom Ngao still has an equally magnificent beauty. the “elders” mentioned above. In particular, the splendid scenery inside the cave also reminds many people of Thien Duong cave – another masterpiece that nature has bestowed on Vietnam. (Photo: Internet) From Cao Bang town, follow the road more than 60 km long, pass Ma Phuc pass and Khau Lieu pass to reach Trung Khanh town, go another 29 km to reach the cave. Nguom Ngao Cave is about 2,144 m long but has only been exploited for nearly 980 m, the inside of the cave is almost pristine with hundreds of unique and attractive shapes. Over time, stalactites and stalagmites have created vivid and interesting scenes that make people admire and be amazed. (Photo: Internet) Stepping into the cave, visitors will be overwhelmed by the amazing beauty created by layers of golden stalactites. Countless stalactites grow from the bottom up, from the high rock arches hanging down with many shapes, reflecting shimmering and fanciful light. All are created by the Creator, bringing a unique and wonderful landscape. Stalactites in the cave have a different color from other local caves because of the amount of calcium mixed with many impurities. (Photo: Internet) Nguom Ngao Cave is divided into many areas, such as the “four pillars of heaven” with stone pillars that look like pillars against the sky, the central area with a large space, the treasure area with golden and silver stalactites… Sometimes, we come across small streams in the cave and the sound of murmuring water is very pleasing to the ears. The unique feature that makes the “name” of Nguom Ngao scenic spot is the terraced fields formed by the limestone floor that has been eroded and weathered for many millions of years. The most special is the upside-down “Golden Lotus” limestone block, which is really a masterpiece of nature. The petals seem to be meticulously trimmed to perfection. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) Wandering in the cave, visitors can enjoy interesting experiences. The cave is like a maze with stalactites crowded with many layers, not monotonous or boring. Especially in Nguom Ngao cave, where there is a gap to the sky, at exactly 14 pm on April 22 every year, there will be 3 streams of light meeting, merging into one, making the cave as bright as day for a few days. minute. This is a beautiful natural phenomenon, many visitors have to admire the brilliant light in Nguom Ngao cave at this moment. (Photo: Internet) (Photo: Internet) Nguom Ngao is truly a priceless natural gift that nature bestows on the people here. Although, at the present time, Cao Bang has only exploited about 1 km for tourists to visit and enjoy, but Nguom Ngao cave is considered one of the most beautiful caves in the country.

Panoramic cave area Panga ya Saidi, Kenya, where ancient tomb is excavated Despite being home to the earliest indications of modern human behavior, early evidence of African burials is scarce and often ambiguous. Therefore, very little is known about the origin and development of the continental burial practices that gave birth to mankind. Pang ya Saidi has been an important site for the study of human origins since excavations began in 2010 as part of a long-standing collaboration among archaeologists from the Max Planck Institute on the Faculty. Study Human History (Jena, Germany) and National Museum of Kenya (Nairobi). Repeated excavation seasons at Pang ya Saidi now help establish it as a key site on the East African coast, with a special 78,000-year record of cultural, technological and iconic activities. original human. Parts of the child’s bones were first found during the excavation at Pang ya Saidi in 2013, but it wasn’t until 2017 that the feature of the small bone-filled pit was completely revealed. About three meters below the existing cave floor, the shallow, round hole contains bones that have decomposed tightly and are very difficult to decompose, and should be stabilized and plastered at the scene. New findings in the laboratory After being reassigned, the remainder was taken to the National Museum in Nairobi and then to the National Research Center for Human Evolution (CENIEH) laboratories in Burgos, Spain, for further excavation and analysis. Two teeth were exposed during the initial laboratory excavation, leading researchers to suspect that the remains could be human. Subsequent studies at CENIEH confirmed that the teeth belonged to a child between 2.5 and 3 years old, later nicknamed ‘Mtoto’, meaning ‘child’ in Swahili. Through months of intense excavation in CENIEH’s laboratories, spectacular new discoveries have been made. Professor María Martinón-Torres, director of CENIEH, explained: “We started to explore parts of the skull and face, with the intact joint of the lower jaw and some uneven teeth. The articulation of the spine and ribs is also surprisingly preserved, even preserving the curvature of the chest. It showed that it was an intact burial and the decomposition of the body took place in the hole where the bone was found. ” Microscopic analysis of the bones and surrounding soil confirmed that the body was quickly covered after burial and decomposition took place in the pit. In other words, Mtoto was intentionally buried shortly after death. The researchers also suggest that Mtoto’s bent body, found to be reclined to the right with the knees pulled towards the chest, represents a tightly wrapped burial with deliberate preparation. Martinón-Torres noted that this community may have performed some form of honor ceremony. The burial was different among modern humans and Neanderthals The child’s date (Mtoto) is 78,000 years ago and it is the oldest known human burial site in Africa. Later periods from the Stone Age of Africa also included many children, perhaps signaling special treatment of children’s bodies in this ancient period. Human remains have been found on an archaeological level with mid-African Neolithic stone tools, a distinct type of technology believed to be more involved than hominins. Ndiema noted: “The link between this child burial tool and the Stone Age played an important role in proving that Homo sapiens was the exact producer of these particular industries, in contrast to other hominin species ”. Professor Michael Petraglia of the Max Planck Institute in Jena noted: “The burial of Pang ya Saidi shows that the dehumanization of the dead is a cultural practice shared by Homo sapiens and Neanderthals. This finding raises questions about the origins and evolution of corpse burial rituals between the two human species is closely related and the extent of this behavior is far from that of people today.

From the legend of the sacred stream According to folk tales, in the early days of heaven and earth, fairies often went down to the top of Co To to play, joke … when they were bored to destroy knives, the fairies together threw stones from the mountain, When tired, a small range of hills also appeared in the shadow of the night, at the bottom of the hill suddenly a clear stream of water flowed … Anger Dup – sacred hill with legends of fairies in her. Over hundreds of millions of years later, people came to reclaim the land. The drought, the heat here makes people discouraged because of the lack of drinking water. In falling asleep, the sound of the stream gurgling like echoes in my ear and awoke with a start. Happy about this, people living in the burning area, breaking rocks together, opening the stream for the underground stream to flow out. And people named this hill with a flowing stream named Tuk Chup, which in Khmer means water flowing in the night, then read the camp as Tuc Dup. In the 60s of the last century, Tuc Dup hill became a solid revolutionary base where the army of An Giang Provincial Party Committee, Tri Ton District Party Committee and other armed forces were stationed. When the US brought troops to fight on Tuc Dup, they blocked all the supply of food and water to our soldiers. Thanks to mastering the terrain, the soldiers quickly find the underground water in the cave to eat and drink. Knowing that this was the living water source of our army, the enemy used bombs, bullets, and artillery to try to raid, in order to cut off the way of life. Films of our soldiers fighting to protect the groundwater. But it is here, also one of the most terrible “hell” areas that they have tasted failure. As a result, our troops won the battle of 128 days and nights, defending the base and bringing the name of Tuc Dup to fame throughout the continents. To the truth was knocked on the door In 1996, Tuc Dup was assigned by An Giang Provincial People’s Committee to An Giang Tourism Joint Stock Company (then a SOE) to exploit services. However, after more than 2 decades, the sacred water is still peacefully deep under the thick layer of soil, no one can find it, it seems to be just an anecdote. During a survey trip, leader Tuc Dup had the opportunity to meet the former revolutionary soldier, Mr. Nguyen Huu Khanh (himself Ut Vu) – Former Secretary of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee. Visiting the old battlefield, he excitedly recounted the glorious 128 day and night battle of our army and the difficult stories about the process of clearing the That Son vein. To find out the answer “whether the sacred water is real”, leader Tuc Dup and geologists embarked on a survey and research. Perhaps the sacredness of the forebears, has led the way for the interested investors, in just 3 days, they found a cave with a stream of cool water rising up from the mountain. %. This is a precious treasure that Mother Nature created for the hill 2 million dollars. According to Ut Vu, there are inexplicable phenomena. No matter how much fire, bullets and toxic chemicals sprayed, but the stream of water is always clear and never empty. Thanks to that, the revolutionary soldiers were kept alive, resiliently sticking to the battle area until the day the country raised the triumphal song. Kieu bridge across the cave contains underground water. Mr. Hoang Van Thien – Director of Tuc Dup Tourist Area said, “After days traveling on the hillsides, we have discovered this mysterious cave. The deeper we go in, the more recently discovered this place hides an extremely attractive beauty, with memorabilia left by the war, many fossil animal skeletons, crept by the stone slab is a cool stream. murmuring and hundreds of fish swimming and living. The scenery shimmering at the foot of Tuc Dup hill. In addition, the cave also contains a system of shimmering, colorful stalactites such as transparent white quartz; Emerald green, iron yellow: Sparkling silver like the gemstone of silicats. In which there are stalactites up to 30m high, large stones like giant eggs. For visitors to have the opportunity to admire the majestic beauty of this place, at the same time to better understand the magic of the resilient land. In the near future, the unit will expand to exploit tourism in this cave ”.

Before starting the 4 day 3 night journey to conquer the largest cave in the world, the whole group will gather to listen to the guide to disseminate safety information and receive equipment. At the same time, people will meet porters (porters), safety assistants, chefs … Son Doong cave belongs to Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park (Quang Binh), this is the address in the list of 20 destinations to break natural records voted by Insider (USA) in 2020. In 1991, the cave was discovered by Mr. Ho Khanh while going to the woods and looking for a place to avoid rain. Then the British Royal cave experts, led by Mr. Howard Limbert, have researched, measured and officially confirmed this is the largest cave in the world. Day 1: Phong Nha – Hang En The first day of the group was the journey from Phong Nha to Hang En. The group will start to walk down a long slope, across the forest with many climbing and downhill sections. After that, you continue to walk and wade streams. Due to going on a rainy day, the water in the cave is quite cold. Going all this way, you will come to Ban Doong, the village of the ethnic minority community of Bru Van Kieu. Group stop for lunch and rest here. After lunch break, the group continues to move about 3 hours to reach Hang En door. This is the third largest cave in the world with a length of about 1.6 km. This location used to be the setting of a famous movie Peter Pan . After more than half a day of traveling, the members were divided into tents and camps. Next to the camp is a blue lake, you can go swimming if you like. The first night in the cave, the chefs will serve the group with a variety of dishes. All processed ingredients are brought from the outside by porters, the dishes are processed deliciously, both taste and attractive. After dinner, the whole group will exchange, chat and end the first day. Day 2: Son Doong cave entrance – Bai Trai 1 In the morning, the whole team explores deeper in Hang En to come to Son Doong. After that, the group stopped for lunch before wearing seat belts and climbed down to the mouth of Son Doong cave. Although I still had a lot of confusion in handling situations, I finally set foot on the cave floor. With its majestic looks and giant size, the store surprised the whole group. From here, the group continued to cross many underground streams. The water is flowing fast, the porters have to stand in line to reduce the water strength, helping the group pass through safely. However, I boldly swim through this stream. In the afternoon, the delegation arrived at the first campsite of Son Doong cave. From here, you can look to sinkhole 1, also known as “Dinosaur’s Void”. This sinkhole was formed as part of the cave ceiling collapsed thousands of years ago. After dinner, I went to bed early because the day 2 itinerary was quite tiring. Day 3: Garden of Eden – Beach camp 2 Garden of Eden and Hole 2 is the most impressive place in this journey. From the very beginning, the group had to overcome very high and slippery rock slopes, so down quickly. You have to wriggle through many narrow rocky niches to reach sinkhole 1 – “Dinosaur’s Vape”. Continue to go deep and climb the rope over some steep rocks to get to the other side of the sinkhole 1. From here, you can capture the magnificent scenery of Son Doong cave. The group stops for lunch to prepare to conquer “Garden of Eden” at the second sinkhole. Because there is a sinkhole, light can enter the cave, creating a diverse vegetation. After exploring the forest, the group rested at camp No. 2 and continued to go into the dark cave to learn about the unique creatures, admire the masterpieces of stalactites. Finally, the group returned to the campsite, had dinner and rest, ending the third day. Day 4: The Vietnam Wall The last day, the group wore seat belts to conquer the Vietnamese Wall. This is an important milestone of the journey to conquer Son Doong. Before that, you are instructed on essential skills such as climbing ropes, operating safety equipment … First, you need to take a boat ride on an underground lake 600 meters long to reach the foot of the wall. You will start with a 20 m of iron ladder. The challenge increases in difficulty as you continue to swing with your hands to successfully conquer the wall and out of the cave. After leaving the cave, the group had lunch and continued to cross the forest for about 2 hours to go to the gathering point. About 15-16h, the transfer car took the group to the hotel, ending the journey. I stayed at a homestay for one night, then moved back to Hanoi. Note If you are planning this trip, you should register for the tour early. It was 8 months from the time I registered to the start of the journey.

This work was designed by a Mexican architect – Javier Senosiain. Part of a sculpture park and part of a housing complex, about 10 rooms are rented out through Airbnb. The hotel has no doors (other than the main entrance), rooms are connected by winding tunnels and guests can climb the stairs from the snake mouth to enter. Each interior room is fully equipped with amenities, a dining area and a spacious bathroom. Round windows with side seats help visitors make the most of the beautiful outward view. There is an inner garden with all kinds of tropical plants and colorful glass windows. Senosiain completed this project in 1998, but it was not until 2015 that the owner of the site took over directly. This person said that every time they brought guests to visit, they uttered in amazement at what was in front of their eyes. Everyone thinks that this place is a perfect place for anyone who loves nature, tranquility, trees, architecture … “Inside this hotel is a botanical garden, a cave, a lake. This is a perfect place for small groups to meditate, write, meditate, yoga, walk, relax, ”said the owner of this hotel. Visitors to this place left a 4.92 rating out of a 5-point scale for cleanliness, location and value for money. “This place has surpassed all expectations,” said Natalie, who visited in February. It is like paradise. It feels special to be able to stay in a place like this. This is a once in a lifetime experience ”. Currently this place costs £ 228 per night (VND 7.2 million).

Participants in the “Deep Time” study emerged from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. After 40 days of voluntary isolation, on April 24, a group of volunteers consisting of 15 people participating in a scientific experiment called Deep Time came out of the vast Lombrives cave in southwestern France. They consisted of eight men and seven women living in the deep, dark and wet caves to help researchers understand how humans adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. They have no watches, no sunlight, and have no contact with the outside world. With bright smiles on their pale faces, 15 volunteers left the Lombrives cave in cheering applause. They must wear special glasses to protect their eyes after long periods of time in the dark. When returning to the ground, all the volunteers wore special glasses to avoid shock to the light. Photo: AP. Marina Lancon, 33, one of seven female members in the test, said: “This is like being pressed on an emergency pause button.” Ms. Marina still wanted to be able to stay in the cave for a few more days, but she also said she was happy to see the wind blowing in her face again and to hear birds singing in the trees in the French Pyréneés. And she said, in a few days she has no plans to reopen her smartphone to hope to avoid a “too brutal” return to real life. The group of volunteers began to return from the ground. Photo: AP. For 40 days and nights, the team lived and explored the caves as part of the Deep Time project. There is no sunlight inside, the temperature is 10 degrees C and the relative humidity is 100 percent. The cave dwellers had no contact with the outside world, had no pandemic updates, nor any contact information with friends or family. Scientists at the Human Adaptation Institute leading the 1.2 million euros ($ 1.5 million) “Deep Time” project, said this experiment will help them better understand how people adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. Because they don’t have a clock, team members keep an eye on their circadian clock to know when to wake up, go to bed, and eat. They count their days not by hours, but by their sleep cycle. Therefore, Project Director, Mr. Christian Clot was surprised that the time in the cave was over: “We think it’s only been 30 days.” The estimate of one team member is only 23 days. Members participating in the Deep Time project study speak during the press conference after returning from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. Working with laboratories in France and Switzerland, the scientists tracked the 15 members’ sleep patterns, social interactions, and behavioral responses via sensors. This sensor is designed as a small thermometer inside a capsule that participants swallow like a pill. It measures body temperature and transmits data to a computer until it is naturally cleared out. On April 23, the scientists told the study subjects they would be out soon. After the 40-day challenge, 2/3 of the group still wished to stay in the cave for a little more time. Photo: AP. On April 24, when they were released from the cave, although the participants looked tired, two-thirds of the participants expressed a wish to stay underground a little longer to complete group projects. At the beginning of the expedition, said Benoit Mauvieux, a biologist involved in the study. “Our future as humans on this planet will flourish,” said Clot after exiting the cave. “We have to learn to better understand how our brains are able to find new solutions, in any situation.”

Ham Rong Bridge has become a symbol of brave, mighty and heroic courage of the people of Thanh. Ham Rong won the victory forever More than 56 years ago, on April 3, 1965, the US Air Force mobilized a powerful force to destroy the Ham Rong Bridge in order to cut off the arterial path of aid from the North to the Southern battlefield. Under the leadership of the Party, Thanh Hoa militia in general, Ham Rong militia in particular has steadfastly fought back the eternal attacks on the US imperialism. The first 16 US planes bombed Thanh Hoa, but less than an hour later, the fire brigade north of Ham Rong Bridge shot down the reconnaissance plane when it was about 3km from the Cao Xuyen bridge. This was the first aircraft of the American enemy that was shot down by the Ham Rong militia, opening the victory history page of Ham Rong. According to recorded documents, around 13:00 on April 3, the US imperialist attack on the Ham Rong area began. Modern jets of all kinds: F105, F8, RF101 … beat Ham Rong bridge continuously for 2 hours and 36 minutes. On the first day, the US mobilized 102 planes and 360 aircraft and launched 14 attacks, but still failed to carry out its intention to destroy Ham Rong Bridge. Ngoc Mountain is located independently south of Ham Rong Bridge. Statistics show that, in just 2 days, April 3, 1965, the US Air Force used 174 aircraft, 454 times the plane was dropped in Thanh Hoa province with 627 bombs, 58 bombs. slow explosion (bombs from 500kg – 1 ton) with hundreds of missiles, rockets in key areas of Thanh Hoa. Particularly in the Rong – Nam Ngan area, the US Air Force jumped 85 times, bombarded 80 times, threw 350 bombs, shot 149 bullets. After 2 days of fierce fighting, Thanh Hoa army and people shot down 47 American aircraft, captured many American pilots, protected Ham Rong global safety, made American public opinion tumultuous, friends loved justice. and worldwide peace admiration. Despite great failure, but the US imperialism still stubbornly defeats Ham Rong Bridge. During the 2nd American sabotage war (December 26, 1971 to January 15, 1973), the American empire used modern means of warfare from B52 strategic aircraft, to name tornado fire, bomb penetration … massively scattered on Ham Rong. Ngoc Mountain is located independently south of Ham Rong Bridge. Through two destructive wars of the US imperialism, Ham Rong’s army and people alone shot down 117 aircraft, destroyed and captured many American enemies, protected the bridge, ensured smooth traffic, brought the resistance to war. against America to save the country to complete victory. Historical events at that time have put Ham Rong on the golden pages of the war against the US to save the nation. Ham Rong – an attractive place for tourists Ham Rong is developing strongly today, becoming an attractive tourist destination for millions of tourists from all over the world. Because Ham Rong not only went to the gleaming golden pages but this famous place also embraced both the Nui Do and Dong Son cultures. Today, tourist destinations in Ham Rong ward such as Ham Rong eco-tourism area, Ham Rong Square, Truc Lam Zen monastery, temple of Vietnamese Heroic Mother and martyrs, tours “Up and down the Ma River” … is becoming an attractive tourist destination for tourists from all over the world. Ham Rong has a majestic landscape, surrounded by immense pine hills and poetic valley. On the Ham Rong mountain, there are Long Quang caves and Tien Son caves with a unique and interesting beauty. Long Quang cave is also known as Dragon Eye cave, standing from the entrance of the cave, visitors can see the panoramic view of Thanh Hoa city hidden between the identical mountains and the winding Ma river. Dragon Mountain Hamlet. Temple of Vietnamese Heroic Mother and heroic martyrs of Thanh Hoa province also becomes a tourist attraction. Going around the foot of Ham Rong mountain, going up the steep rocky steps of about 30 meters, visitors will come to Tien Son cave. Caves include 3 caves 1, 2 and 3, connected by small up and down paths. The cave is endowed with pristine stalactites such as emperor emperor, fairy fairy, fairy fairy, flying dragon, dancing phoenix, unique shapes such as peach garden, aquarium, heaven gate, fairy well … make visitors feel lost in fairy space. Opposite Ham Rong mountain, on the north bank of Ma river is Ngoc mountain. From a distance, Ham Rong mountain and Jade mountain are like a dragon playing pearl seeds. Located on Canh Tien mountain is the shrine of Vietnamese Heroic Mother and martyrs of Thanh Hoa province, a spiritual destination not to be missed by visitors when coming to Ham Rong place. Ham Rong is also famous for the ancient village of Dong Son, located on the south bank of the Ma River, leaning against the Ham Rong mountain range. Dong Son village is structured in the style of a pure agricultural village, in front is a large field, with a busy river wharf. Three sides of Dong Son ancient village are surrounded by earth hills, rocky mountains interspersed with village gate architecture, traditional communal houses and dozens of old houses with mossy walls lying along the paved and stone roads. zigzag along the mountainside. The tour “up and down the Ma River” is becoming an attractive tourist destination for tourists from all over the world every time they come to Thanh. In order to develop a tourist destination associated with Ham Rong landmark, in March 2020, Thanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee approved the zoning plan of 1/2000 scale in Ham Rong – Nui Do area in the northwestern green belt of the city. Thanh Hoa. In which, the Ham Rong – Nui Do planning area will be an urban area of ​​a Heritage Park, with the national and international scale and stature aiming to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a historical, archaeological cultural and tourist site of Thanh Hoa city, Thanh Hoa province and the North Central region, including: Complex of scenic heritage, national-level archaeological cultural and historical relics; Thanh Hoa’s eco-historical, cultural and archeological tourist site associates with a tourist route along the Ma River (Sam Son – Ham Rong – Ho Dynasty Citadel). Mr. Le Xuan Lien, Head of Management Board of Ham Rong Relic said: “In recent years, Ham Rong relic has become a red address attracting a lot of tourists from all over the world. The epic song of immortality, has entered the golden history of the nation, which is also known as an amazing natural landscape with a population of rivers, mountains and caves that attract visitors every time you have a chance to visit. visit”.

Bovbjerg cliffs in the Vestjylland UNESCO Global Geopark (Photo: UNESCO) Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries that did not apply for new geopark recognition, the UNESCO Global Geopark Council decided to consider this year’s candidates from Old application form (period 2017-2019). In fact, evaluations of these geopark have been carried out since before the start of the pandemic. The management boards of these parks have also submitted additional information reports as requested by the Council. The new UNESCO Global Geopark is: 1. Vestjylland Global Geopark, Denmark About a third of the Geopark’s surface area is on the mainland, with the rest comprising marine areas in the Limfjord and the North Sea. The terrestrial part of the Geopark’s icy landscape are flat plains, lagoons and lakes formed by successive ice ages, especially the most recent ice age, Main Advance, took place 23,000 to 21,000 years ago. Wind and water are continuing to affect the landscape in very conspicuous ways. Geopark includes 13 areas Naruta 2000, 5 nature reserves and wildlife and more than 90 natural geological sites. Natura 2000 is the European Union’s ecological network, which includes important bird habitats and protected habitats that are important to other wildlife species of interest to the European Union. 2. Global Geopark Saimaa, Finland Geopark takes its name from Lake Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland and the 4th largest lake in Europe. Located in southeastern Finland, south of the Vuoksi water system, the Geopark stretches about 20 to 180 meters above sea level. One-third of the park’s 6,063 km² of surface area is water, dotted with thousands of islands, and a coastline of more than 8,000 km. The rocks of Saimaa point to the area’s as far back as 1,900 million years ago when it was part of the seabed. The rocky bedrock is formed over time when the sea water recedes, mountain folds take place, the rocks crystallize into gneisses and granite. The ancient foundation was further affected by the ice age, and land accretion continues to this day. The land of this area was formed in the past 20,000 years due to erosion of ice sheets. Since then, several unique and endangered species, including seal Saimaa and salmon, have been “isolated” in the area. Impressive stone paintings on the shores of the lake show human presence from the Stone Age. The location and features of the Geopark allow visitors to observe the patterns of ice lobe formation in Finland’s Lake District.

Thuringia Inselsberg Global Geopark – Drei Gleichen, Germany Located in Thuringia, central Germany, the Geopark covers an area of ​​about 988 km² at an altitude of 250 to 900 meters above sea level. The park’s geology records more than 150 million years of Earth’s history, from the merger of the Pangea supercontinent to the dissolution of the continent during the Late Triassic. Geopark’s distinctive fossil profile has been a subject of study for over 300 years, leading to the accumulation of great geological expertise. The fossilized reef here, among the first recognized in the 19th century, is a remnant of the formation of a small island surrounded by coral reefs in the Zechstein Sea. You can explore three of the Geopark’s hundreds of natural caves. The park’s Geo & Pleasure geo-tourism trail highlights the link between soil and local geology and traditional indigenous cuisine in the low mountains and loess regions.

Grevena Global Geopark – Kozani, Greece In the North of Greece, in the Western Macedonia region (within 40-70 km of the border of Albania and North Macedonia), this geopark covers an area of ​​2,486 km², with an altitude of 380 to 3,800 meters above water level. sea. Greece’s longest river, Aliakamon, flows through Grevana – Kozani. The park’s geology includes rock formations dating back to about a billion years ago, to date records a number of tectonic plate events, including the birth of the Tethyan Ocean and the emergence of Europe. as a separate continental block. Orliakas Mountain, a reef in the midst of an ancient African-European contiguous area, inside the Geopark. Studies of these geological features have significantly contributed to the development of popular theories about the origin of tectonic plates. The geopark also houses some of the world’s most important tornado fossils, The Land of Elephants and Mammoths with the longest known tusks in the world (over 5 m).

Global Geopark Belitong, Indonesia Belitong Geopark is located about 400 km north of Jakarta, including Belitung Island and more than 200 small islands in 13,000 km² of waters. The marine area accounts for about 2/3 of the total surface area of ​​this park. Belitong is known for its spectacular Tor granite landscape, and large rock outcrops, created by weathering and erosion. The park also features a rare meteorite tektite called Satam or Billitonite, along with unique mineral deposits such as the Nam Salu primary tin mine, the richest single tin mine in the region. Southeast Asia. Located on historic maritime trade and migration routes, Belitong is home to more than 288,000 people from diverse cultures, including the Sawang Tribes. The main sources of income are agriculture, fishing and mining. (Photo: Belitong Geopark / UNESCO) 6. Aspromonte Global Geopark, Italy Located in Calabria, southern Italy, with an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, Aspromonte Geopark is home to more than 273,000 people. The site’s exceptional geology is the result of the evolution of geodynamics and seismics that began more than 500 million years ago and are still ongoing. This geopark is located on a peninsula along the Apennine Mountains, corresponding to a piece of the Alpine range separating Spain, northwest Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. A complex of mountains, ridges and plateaus interspersed with deep valleys created by unique natural water currents, has “sculpted” the hard rocks of the foundation, leading to metamorphism to crystallize over time. and create spectacular waterfalls. The Geopark’s unique geomorphology gives visitors a stunning 360-degree view of the Strait of Messina, Mount Etna, the Aeolian Islands, Calabrian Greek territory, Locri territory and Gioia Tauro Plains.

Majella Global Geopark, Italy Located in the Center of Apennines, the Geopark has a surface area of ​​740 km² with an altitude of 130 to 2,800 meters above sea level, along with more than 60 peaks in the Majella Mountains, half of which are over 2,000 meters high, like Mount Amaro. The geopark is made up of a series of gorges, many rivers and a number of perennial lakes that are essential to wildlife. This area is made up mainly of fossilized limestone. With ruins associated with the human presence some 600,000 years ago, the Geopark has 95 geological sites, including one of the oldest archaeological sites in Europe. Most have considerable educational and tourism value. Thanks to the special landscape of high-altitude reliefs near the sea and the heterogeneity of geomorphology, the Geopark is characterized by a variety of microclimate, ecosystems and ecological niches, which has increased the level of special and valuable biodiversity.

Public mountain geology Holy Cross, Poland Located in the southeastern part of Poland, the western part of the Świętokrzyskie mountain range, the Holy Cross Mountain Geopark is 200 to 400 meters above sea level, and is home to more than 252,000 people. The Geopark located in the Trans-European Garment Region (TESZ), a major tectonic boundary between the Variscan Western Foundation, the Pre-Cambrian Eastern Foundation and the reproductive belt of Alpine structures, is the key to Learn the geological structure of Europe. More importantly, this is the only site in the TESZ where sedimentary rocks representing the sequence of all geological periods from the Cambrian to the Quaternary are raised on the surface. The geology of the park, combined with human intervention over the centuries has resulted in a rich diversity of landscapes, flora and fauna. Traces of human activity in the Geopark date back 60,000 years, including Neanderthal camps and a beautiful cave system. Many ancient quarries are testament to the importance of mineral deposits, metal ores, limestone and other natural resources to local people over time.

Inside Krizna jama, a place for tourists traveling by boat. Photo: National Geographic Where the rivers mysteriously disappeared With 20,271 square kilometers and 2 million inhabitants, Slovenia provides the world to more than 20 famous caves out of more than 8,000 karstic formations called jamas. Here, it is easy to see with the naked eye the majestic rivers suddenly mysteriously disappearing into the ground, then forming the system of underground paths through the limestone mountains forming caves. There are also traces of cave dwellers of nearly 5,000 years ago, autographs of an expedition in 1557 left on the cliffs of Krizna cave, and since then cave tourism in Slovenia has flourished. from the seventeenth century. Krizna jama, birthplace of cave exploration. Exploration of karstic limestone caves is very dangerous, even with taking pictures in a world completely different from space under the sun. Robbie Shone, British photographer and cave researcher, spent 10 years taking pictures of Kacna caves. The window entry was 250 feet (250 feet) higher than the ceiling, and an additional 250 feet was added to the underground river, the common pillar with up to 500 free-fall, up and down thanks to ropes and lifters. The key to the Slovenian cave system lies in the rivers, when hidden when present, the most famous of which are the rivers Reka, Rak, and Pivka. River caves are not uncommon, however, there are only some karst landscapes where river caves reach as vast as in Slovenia. The karst plateau forms a special geographical area here, it extends from the Adriatic coast in the south to the Vipava Valley, forming a corridor connecting the limestone regions of northeast Italy. Beneath the village of Škocjan are caves of the same name, a UNESCO heritage site, in which an entire river – the river Reka – seems to be swallowed up by the earth. From the ground, the river suddenly plunged into a straw (siphon) in the rock, continuing to winding along underground currents, then emerged 24 miles away near Italy’s Monfalcone before joining the Timavo River into the sea. Adriatic. Where people live with caves More than anywhere, Slovenia is not only the birthplace of the cave tourism industry, but also a place of symbiosis between people and a special geological structure. The Italians and Slovenes living along the limestone corridors have created a unique Teran grape for the famous iron-rich red wine. Caves have played many roles throughout history. They used them as a source of water, a refrigerator, and even an ammunition storage room during the war. During the Ice Age, Krizna jama was an important bear sanctuary – some 2,000 bear skeletons remain. Today, river caves are important habitats for many species of animals, some of which are endangered. Postojna jama is Slovenia’s largest and most touristy cave, complete with trains that take you through tunnels and fossil-filled labyrinth halls and pristine caves. pretty. Nearby Postojna and Planinska jama are home to the proteus anguinus, an endangered species of underwater cave salamander affectionately known as the “human fish”. During Christmas, a scene of the Child God was erected in Postojna and more than 500 people gathered in a stone hermitage to witness a festival performance staged between stalactites and stalagmites. Postojna jama is completely designed with trains taking tourists through the tunnels … Photo: postojnska-jama.eu Here you can choose the right level of cave travel for you. The Postojna Cave is considered the largest jade, where the cave train will take visitors to magnificent sculptures, stalactites, stalagmites and halls. The beautiful Škocjan Cave is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Here you can see the deepest and largest underground gorges in the world. And more than that, behind the cave doors is a place for travelers who have a lot of courage to explore. Krizna Cave impresses with a series of emerald green underground lakes, on which visitors can sail to magnificent limestone halls under the safety guidance of experienced explorers. The birthplace of cave exploration The history of cave exploration is associated with Krizna jama located in the Cerknica Polje limestone belt near the Loz settlement. The length of the cave is up to 8,273m, of which about 600m is arranged for regular tours of tourists, the rest is for explorers. In fact, Krizna is considered one of the most attractive tourist caves in Slovenia, due to the large underground lakes with clear water formed after dams of quartz stone and decorated in various styles. way by rolling rocks. One of the tourist attractions is the bear cave. Currently, Krizna jama is under the management of the Krizna Cave Caving Society, and is here by guided boat travel. The first inscription of the Krizna expedition engraved on a cliff, in 1557. Krizna’s original name was Loz Cold Cave (Mrzla jama pri Lozu), changed to Cold Cave under Mount Krizna (Mrzla jama pod Krizno goro), and now takes the name of the Cross Church located on the hill given to the cave system. , called Cerkev Svetega kriza. The first inhabitants of Krizna cave were in the metallic era with many relics including pottery, but their ancestors lived in caves belonging to the Paleolithic period, around 2,800 BC. Perhaps this was the reason why the Krizna expeditions were so intriguing, and the expedition’s first autograph inscribed on the cliff 1557. The expeditions continued through the centuries as a kind of discovery tourism. , but it was not until 1832 that an official report was produced by JJ Tobin, and in 1838 J. Cerar provided the first descriptive sketch. The discoveries weren’t really easy, and it wasn’t until 1962 that a group of high school students from Ljubljana Šiška crossed the first lake under the guidance of Professor Prezelj. Explorers from Slovenian and foreign clubs spent decades, from 1970 to 1990 searching, discovering new cave passages and halls, and especially diving to survey pipes. suction of the Kittlow well. Measurements, surveys and expeditions were promoted between the 1990s and 2003 through the Speleological society of Karlovec and the Assotiation of Krizna cave lovers. They began cleaning the caves, photographing it, and discovering new tunnels with deep diving, searching for new straws. And today, cave tourism has become a unique economic activity in Slovenia.

Illustration. One of the most isolated places in the world is the Vale do Javari region in the Amazon forest area. It is home to 14 Amazon tribes and they do not have any contact with the outside world. The area covers an area of ​​86,000 square kilometers, which is about the size of Austria. According to The Guardian, in March 2019, an expedition was organized by the agency for indigenous Brazilians, with the aim of easing tensions between two rival indigenous groups in the Vale do Javari region. The slums Looking at a map of a city, you will see clearly indicated streets, parks, highways, and buildings. However, in some cities, there are areas that do not appear on the map. According to BBC Future, in cities like Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and Lagos in Nigeria, the slums are not depicted on the map because these areas are not the top priority here. In fact, many of the largest cities in the world have large communities with impoverished populations that live there and never appear on maps. Cenotes Yucatán Cenotes, Mexico According to photographer Klaus Thymann, this underwater cave system is located in the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico. This cave system is thousands of kilometers long and has not been explored since the Mayan period; and it doesn’t exist on any map. Klaus Thymann begins the exploration of the Yucatán Cenotes cave system and takes pictures of it, with a desire to raise awareness about this unique cave preservation. Rivers flow through caves and form the aquifer of Yucatán and support about 11 different ecosystems. Gangkhar Puensum Mountain, Bhutan This is probably the tallest mountain in the world that has not been conquered yet, it is estimated its height is about 3,000 meters. This mountain has not been mapped and unlike others, it has yet to be explored for spiritual reasons. For the locals, some areas on the mountain have been refugees for Buddhist saints for centuries and the mountains themselves have been home to gods and goddesses. Patagonia, Argentina and Chile regions According to Geospatial World, Patagonia region stretches almost as far as Antarctica. It is littered with tropical forests, glaciers, so remote and inhospitable that it is almost impossible to map. Mapping this area is a difficult and dangerous task, as the ice fields here are comparable to those of the polar ice. Northern mountain forest complex, Myanmar The US economic sanctions against Myanmar for many years have helped the country successfully protect most of its primary forests from the effects of economic development. But this seems to be changing, the area of ​​primary forest is disappearing and with it many vulnerable species. However, it is very difficult to assess the damage because there are almost no roads in the forest and very few people can come in to assess the situation. This means primeval forests are likely to disappear before it has been fully mapped. Cape Melville Cape, Australia Cape Melville is a cape off the coast of Queensland. And a surrounding wall made of granite has separated this headland from human exploration. Although the habitat inside the rainforest in the headland is effectively protected, it also means that the area is virtually unmapped. North Sentinel Island, India North Sentinel Island is part of the Andaman Islands between India and Myanmar. Due to the local population’s hostility towards outsiders (who are not Sentinel residents), this place has not been explored and mapped. In 2006, a boat carrying two fishermen drifted into the farmland of North Sentinel Island and they were killed there. Since then, there have been other reports of tribes firing arrows at passing helicopters. Ocean bottom The vast ocean floor and the bottom of the five oceans cover up to 71% of the earth’s surface. Even though we have mapped the ocean floor, according to The Conversation of Australia, the map is clearly low resolution. In fact, our map of the ocean floor is less detailed than our map of Mars, Moon and Venus. That is because the water flow has blocked the mapping tools.

Tonglu is located in Hangzhou, which has been called the “paradise on earth” since ancient times, on the middle reaches of the Qiantang River. This city is famous for its “green mountains, beautiful waters, long history and secluded environment”. If you come to Tonglu, Hangzhou, you must visit the Yaolin Wonderland. The unique karst landform is very spectacular. It is one of the most famous karst caves in the country. It is the “Crown of Caves in the Country” and is a typical representative of karst caves in East China. The painter Ye Qianyu once praised it: rare in China, rare in the world. The Yaolin Wonderland, 80 kilometers away from Hangzhou, is also one of the top 40 tourist attractions in China and one of the top ten tourist attractions in Zhejiang Province. In 2002, it was listed as a national 4A scenic tourist attraction. There are more than 20 limestone caves distributed in Tonglu County. The most famous is the Yaolin Cave. According to historical records, as early as the Song Dynasty, the poet Ke Yuezhai compared this cave to a fairyland. In the 12th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Yang Baoyi, the prefect of Tonglu County This cave was nominated as “Yaolin Wonderland”, which is said to be a playground for gods.

The Yaolin Wonderland was formed in a limestone cave 100,000 years ago. The entire cave is one kilometer in depth. According to the structure of the cave, it is divided into seven cave halls with a total area of ​​28,000 square meters. The Yaolin Wonderland was first discovered in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was isolated from the world by the collapse of the cave entrance at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was rediscovered in 1979 and attracted the attention of travel enthusiasts from all over the world with its magical topography and magnificent stalactite scenes. It can be imagined that in ancient times, the caves under the lighting of torches and bonfires, which were underdeveloped with lights, could be compared to the beauty of a fairyland. Nowadays, under the colorful lighting, it is like a natural artwork. Although it is one step away from the world outside the cave, there is a difference between “the world and the fairyland”. The setting of lighting and storyline is an ingenious combination of modern technology and ancient caves. The strange rocks of different shapes, strange ponds, strange caves, and the gurgling sound of underground water from time to time, plus the lights in the cave, really look like a fairyland.

There are 3 cave halls in Yaolin’s Wonderland, and the stalactites in each cave hall look different. There are attractions in the cave such as Yingbin Gate, Yinhe Waterfall, Jinjiguan Waterfall, Juxian Hall, Qionglou Yuyu, Ganoderma Lucidum Mountain, and Zizhu Forest. The first cave hall is welcoming tourists from all walks of life by more than 50 vividly sized lions and proboscis elephants, so it is also called “the lion elephant welcoming guests.” The most worth visiting is the “Jade Pillar Optimus” with a height of about 14 meters and a diameter of about 4 meters, which stands on the raised cliff in the second cave hall, and the beautiful “Thirty Three Heavens” in the third cave hall. And “Yaolin Yufeng”. If you don’t have a bit of imagination, you will probably think that this is a pile of stones of different shapes, but when you look up on the scene, you will be deeply impressed by nature’s supernatural work.

It is said that Yaolin’s Wonderland is a strange and incomparable cave world, and its magic is that it provides a vast world for mankind’s infinite fantasy world. The stalactites formed over hundreds of millions of years are colorful and dazzling. “Yao Chi is originally in the human world, it can be laughed at by ordinary people.” The natural world gives birth to infinite reveries. Man and nature are an inseparable whole. At the same time, they are constantly thinking about the relationship between themselves and nature. This is the combination of nature and humanities. Charm.

This is not the first time I have come to Tonglu, but every time, I will fall in love with this place again.

Tonglu is really a place with good mountains, rivers, and a good life. For many people who want to temporarily escape the pressure of the city, they can live a fresh and leisurely mountain life by driving for a few hours, and the Tianzidi Ecological Scenic Area This is the treasure destination I found.

The folklore of the young emperor is circulated here, which originated from the birthplace of Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty 1600 years ago. It is a paradise where the strange cave landscape and the forest ecological environment are integrated.

In the spring of Tianzidi, the cherry blossoms are dyed with a delicate pink color. Just on the road at the entrance of the scenic spot, there is a large pink cherry blossom forest over one kilometer.

Wearing Hanfu under the most beautiful cherry blossom forest is a tribute to the most beautiful spring.

At the entrance of Tianzidi, there was a sea of ​​wisteria flowers, which attracted my attention. It was originally just a promenade, but the vines were planted with wisteria flowers, which instantly turned it into a romantic sea of ​​wisteria flowers. In this weather, the wisteria flowers are growing just right, the romantic purple and the green of nature, it can be said to be very small and fresh.

The main planted in Tianzidi is Guanshan Sakura, also known as Evening Sakura. The flower color is very pink and it is said to be pink from blooming to withering. The Guanshan cherry blossoms all over the hills and plains are clustered together, dressing Tianzidi into a pink cherry blossom world.

The path of the cherry blossom forest is one of the most beautiful sceneries in Tianzidi. Walking on the path, the cherry blossoms sticking out branches, the petals of the cherry blossoms are sprinkled on my body, the falling leaves are colorful, and I am surrounded by the cherry blossoms, and I feel the most vibrant atmosphere of spring.

In order to enrich the fun of playing in the mountains and the wild, the Dinosaur Valley in Tonglu Tianzidi was also grandly opened in the splendid spring day. On the trail down the mountain, dozens of “dinosaurs” of various shapes were gathered, as if walking into the Jurassic world. These dinosaurs were hidden in the cherry blossoms, and they matched particularly well. People couldn’t help but find out.

In fact, Tianzidi Dinosaur Valley is not a real dinosaur. They are all kinds of dinosaur shapes made of props, which are vividly displayed in front of you. They open their mouths and have a frightening aura. When passing by, they will make wailing sounds, as if the dinosaur is really by their side.

There are many kinds of dinosaurs in the Tianzidi Dinosaur Valley. These prehistoric behemoths descended in the quiet and ethereal nature of Tianzidi, stepped into the Dinosaur Valley, returned to the Jurassic dinosaur era, and took a journey of exploration hundreds of millions of years ago. . Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Brachiosaurus, pterodactyl, and sickle dragon are dazzling.

If I guess right, this one should be Tyrannosaurus rex. It lived at the end of the Cretaceous period. It was one of the most ferocious carnivores in history. It has deadly serrations. Look at its strong hind limbs, a mouth, and sharp teeth. The man’s cold hair stood upright, and his eyes looked like he had just walked out of the depths of a bamboo forest looking for prey. There were wailing roars passing by, and it was so realistic that people couldn’t help trembling.

The long and tall brachiosaurus lived in the late Jurassic period. It was a herbivorous dinosaur with a huge body, a long neck, a stubby tail, straight and sharp teeth, and it could swallow a whole piece of food when eating. But fortunately, the herbivorous type looks a little dull. When you walk under it, you are always worried about whether it will bend its neck.

There are other types of dinosaurs, such as Sickleclaw and Dilophosaurus, that have not been heard before. It is really scary to see them with blood basins and mouths, but after watching it for a long time, I dare to touch it a little. The sharp teeth are not as scary as imagined, but I have to sigh, they are really realistic.

Tianzidi Dinosaur Valley is more like a Jurassic museum. Using these dinosaur models to better tell children some popular science knowledge about prehistoric dinosaurs is also very educational. So if the parents bring their children to play, they will definitely get a lot of posture.

Tonglu itself is a relatively mountainous place. The karst caves under the mountain have underground rivers, and the largest shaft-shaped karst cave in Asia is the Tianzi Cave of Tianzidi, also known as the Xianren Cave.

Walking into the cave, the colorful colors are very fresh for me who explored the cave in this way for the first time, and the fluorescent lights flash back. The Tianzi Cave was originally dark, but now with the lighting, coupled with the blessing of music, it has become a very dreamy place.

Walking into the depths of the cave, you can see a gorilla hanging in the air.

After entering the cave, the scenery inside the cave was so amazing that I was very surprised. The colorful lights illuminate the stalactites, as if they are in a fairyland. These variously shaped stones have been endowed with legendary colors and stories. This This is the first time that I have seen such a cave view. Walking in the cave is like a dream.

What is it like drifting in the forest? After coming out of the Tianzi Cave, I came to the classic project, the rafting path, to experience the fun of crossing on the rafting path, and to drift through the forest together to explore the world of primitive vegetation.

There is also a dry slide on the side of the rafting track. Sit down on the slide and enjoy the unseen forest next to you. Birds walk on the rocks and look at the forest from a different angle, allowing you to broaden your vision.

The total length of dry skiing is very long, and it has been sliding from Tianzi Cave to the foot of the mountain. You can control the brake acceleration and other things by yourself. When the acceleration is falling, you can feel what speed and passion are.

The heaven in spring is accompanied by cherry blossoms, and there are various fun projects.

Come here to spend a leisurely and pleasant spring life

20 degrees warm spring pink cherry, you deserve it.

Yaolin Wonderland is located in Yaolin Town, Tonglu County, about 25 kilometers away from Tonglu County. I believe everyone is not unfamiliar with karst caves. It is a karst landform formed by karst action of soluble rocks. Since it was discovered and developed into a tourist attraction, the Yaolin Wonderland is now a national 4A-level tourist attraction and has been awarded the “China “Top Forty Tourist Attractions” and one of the “Top Ten Tourist Attractions in Zhejiang”.

According to the survey by geologists, the Yaolin area was once a shallow sea as early as 270 million years ago. After the Himalayas and other orogenic movements, a completely new topography was formed. There are three necessary conditions for the formation of caves, namely limestone, permeable cracks and flowing water, combined with the precipitation of time, forming such a wonderland-like underground world wonder.

There are records of Yaolin’s fairyland in ancient times. During the Song Dynasty, the poet Ke Yuezhai compared this place to a fairyland. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate of Tonglu nominated it as “Yaolin Wonderland”. It is also included in the local chronicles “Tonglu County Chronicles” Such a record: “Yaolin Cave, forty-five miles northwest of the county, the mouth of the cave is two feet wide, and the steps are more than five feet down. There are cliffs, land, pools, and caves… It also covers the place where gods and gods travel… …” It can be described as a land of immortal tourists.

Follow the path into the stone forest maze, the magical topography and the magnificent and colorful stalactite landscape come into view. It is not only the symbol of the Yaolin Wonderland, but also its treasure.

The cave world, which is like a fairyland, is like a shining palace, and the top of the dome of tens of meters is full of weather. Under the light of the light, the colorful stalactites are like stars twinkling, dazzling and imaginative.

It is no wonder that Yaolin’s Wonderland will have “the crown of the caves of the country”. “The title.

There are three cave halls in the entire Yaolin Wonderland. The first cave hall is the “Fairy Gathering”, and the “Galaxy Waterfall” is the most spectacular, which can be called a world wonder; the second cave hall has a deep canyon, where the stalagmite wonders are richer. , The stalagmites have different postures; the third cave hall is the “Thirty-Three Heavens”, which is the essence of the entire cave.

Regarding the “Thirty-Three Heavens”, some people compare it to the Dunhuang frescoes of the Tang Dynasty. The scenery you see in front of you can be described as a spectacle. Its magic has also inspired the imagination of countless people. Some people compare it to Wonderland, Wuling Village, Taohuayuan, and Penglai Island. Such a fairyland-like existence makes people feel relaxed and happy.

In addition to the fairyland-like landscapes, there are also cultural landscapes here. In the third cave hall, you can see the writings of “Eighteen Emperors of the Sui Dynasty” and “Seventeen Years of Tang Zhenguan”. The relics have a history of more than 2,900 years. In addition, relics of ancient coins of the Northern Song Dynasty, pottery pieces of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and celadon pieces of the Yuan Dynasty have been found here.

Unlike the caves I’ve been to in the past, it also incorporates an exceptionally fantastic 3D light and shadow show. The shocking sci-fi scene and the peculiar landscape of the cave are perfectly blended together, spectacular!
