    The shock of Iguazu National Park is beyond expectation! Standing on the observation deck on the Brazilian side, 275 waterfalls pour down like the Milky Way, the roar of the "Devil's Throat" is deafening, and the mist and rainbows come to your face. The plank road on the Argentine side goes deep into the waterfalls. When you rush into the water curtain by boat, you will feel the wild power of nature when your body is soaked by the majestic water. The howler monkeys and blue-violet macaws shuttle through the tropical rainforest, and the waterfalls together form a three-dimensional ecological picture. It is recommended to reserve two days, take a helicopter to overlook the horseshoe-shaped panoramic view in the morning, and watch the sound and light show on the Brazilian side in the evening, so that your vision and hearing are immersed in this earth-class wonder.

    Tierra del Fuego National Park is amazing! As the southernmost national park in the world, it has snow-capped mountains all year round, dense forests, clear lakes and charming bays. Take the End of the World Train, travel through the picturesque scenery, and send postcards at the End of the World Post Office. The unique experience makes people feel like they are in a dreamland. It is a place worth visiting once in a lifetime.

    Walking in the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina is like turning over a long scroll of history. This "heart of the city" that witnessed Argentina's transition from colonial rule to independence is exciting with its unique charm and profound significance. In the center of the square, the towering May Pyramid points to the sky, silently telling the magnificent history of the May Revolution of 1810. The reliefs on the base of the monument vividly reproduce the heroic scenes of the revolutionary pioneers fighting for freedom. Around the square, the architectural styles are diverse but harmonious: the pink presidential palace, the Rose Palace, is solemn and elegant, the neoclassical-style city hall is magnificent, and the Buenos Aires Cathedral exudes a solemn atmosphere. These buildings are not only symbols of the city's appearance, but also witnesses and recorders of Argentina's historical changes.

    The entire Patagonia region is a great place for hiking. It is more desolate and magnificent than the Alps. Wildlife such as jaguars and alpacas are also very unique. The beef is of good quality and cheap. This glacier is also the only glacier in the world that is still growing. It is not because of its high altitude, but because it is right at the mouth of the Antarctic cold wind.

    The Cologne Theatre is a hall of art! The Baroque and neoclassical blend of appearance, full of magnificent atmosphere; in it, gold carved flowers, chandeliers and dome murals are beautiful to suffocate. World-class acoustic design makes the performance perfect. Here, every performance is an audiovisual feast, and every detail tells the story of a century of artistic heritage.

    Walking into the Athenian Bookstore is like falling into a dreamy cultural palace. This bookstore, transformed from a century-old theater, retains the gorgeous essence of neoclassical architecture - the painted dome depicts scenes from Greek mythology, the golden carved columns are magnificent, the reading area transformed from the stage is quiet and elegant, and even the boxes have become private reading corners with unique atmosphere. In a space of more than 20,000 square meters, there are rich collections of books, ranging from literary classics to cutting-edge social sciences. The aroma of coffee and the fragrance of books are intertwined. Sitting on a red velvet chair and reading a book, the melodious sound of the piano occasionally comes to your ears, and time seems to freeze here. This is not only a place to buy books, but also a double feast of vision and spirit. It can be called one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

    Glacier National Park is so stunning! The blue ice stands tall, the cracks hide mysterious lights, and the meltwater from the glaciers merges into a blue lake, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Hiking in it, listening to the roar of ice cracking and watching the reflection of snow-capped peaks, it feels like entering a pure secret land of ice and snow. Every glance is a masterpiece of nature!
