Editor's Note: The seven-day national holiday is coming! Have you got itchy feet to explore exotic, faraway places?
Here are seven global destinations for you and your loved ones to embrace an unforgettable travel experience.
1. Sri Lanka in South Asia
Hailed as the world's most beautiful island by the 13th-century globetrotter Marco Polo, Sri Lanka offers pristine beaches, emerald tea plantations, cascading falls, historic ruins, sacred ancient temples, and more importantly, the quiet and comfort that comes with idyllic vistas and striking Sri Lankan culinary flavors.
2. Barcelona in Europe
Craving an immersion in Spanish vibes? Book a flight to Barcelona. Here, modernist architect Antoni Gaudi's mind-boggling works abound, and traditional Flamenco dance and music permeates the air. Plus, Barça fans would give an eye and a tooth for a behind-the-scenes tour to Camp Nou, the home stadium for the renowned soccer club, while art aficionados can put the Picasso Museum at the top of their to-go lists in this seaside city.
3. Tanzania in Africa
If BBC's 2019 wildlife documentary Serengeti does not satisfy your curiosity, just fly to Tanzania to check out the savannah where lion prides, leopards, and elephants were filmed up close. Apart from going on safari to view the wildlife described as "without parallel in Africa", you can also visit the pinnacle of Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, paying homage to Hemingway's iconic work The Snows of Kilimanjaro. In addition, you can take home the tanzanite gemstones which can certainly crystallize your African adventures and memories.
